Intensive Care Medicine is a field in which the outcome depends on many factors. Clinical trials are required to assess the impact of various interventions on outcome. They form the fundamentals of evidence-based medicine but knowing their limitations is necessary for their proper application in clinical practice. Personalized medicine is defined as clinical management based on evidence-based medicine individually tailored to each patient and their response to previous interventions.

Keywords: clinical trials; evidence based medicine; personalized medicine
