Update to readers and authors on ethical and scientific misconduct: retraction of the 'Boldt articles'.

摘要

In this issue of the Journal, most regrettably, we publish retraction notices related to five articles authored by Dr. Joachim Boldt et al. which were published during the years 2000-2003. These retraction notices refer to five of 88 articles which appear on the Editors' Joint Statement recently posted on the websites of 18 journals, including the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia. This unprecedented number of simultaneous article retractions reflects more than a decade of published research examining colloid intravenous solutions and the clinical pharmacology of several anesthetic techniques and drugs used in the perioperative setting.
