**Correction: Critical Care (2024) 28:279 ** 10.1186/s13054-024-05068-x
Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified an error in Tables 1–4. There were values missing in Table 3 and alignment/indention errors in Tables 1–4. Both the incorrect and correct tables are given hereafter.
