Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on advances in critical care and future perspectives in many different fields, for example: emergency, medical intensive care, intensive respiratory care, intermediate medical care, pediatric or neonatal intensive care, cardiothoracic intensive therapy, and surgical intensive care.
Critical care offers a differentiated intervention that includes monitoring, intervention and organ support that cannot be readily delivered in a general ward. Its expansion in the past few decades, with special emphasis in recent years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, including the use of new technologies and therapeutic interventions, emphasizes that critical care has an increasingly prominent role within the hospital.
Although all the advances verified and consequently better results, critical care remains a nascent specialty in which we are still learning how to harness a powerful ability to manipulate physiology, technology, and pharmacology to achieve best outcomes for the patient.
Thus, in addition to future challenges related to clinical, financial, and logistical areas, exciting opportunities will arise as new developments in diagnostic tests, care interventions, and technology are used to exploit an increasing awareness of how critical illness should be managed.
In this special issue, we invite researchers with an interest in critical care to submit high quality empirical papers or systematical reviews related to the issues in this research area.
Dr. João Lindo Simões
