Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Critically ill patients are currently framed within very complex algorithms and protocols, the furthest thing from personalized medicine. This happens when critical medicine tries to use the results of large trials and available guidelines to obtain the best possible outcome. However, not all fit for all patients. For example, maintaining mean arterial blood pressure at physiological levels can differ greatly if we are treating a healthy young person compared to a patient suffering from arterial hypertension. Protective ventilation can differ depending on the initial quality of the lungs. The management of sepsis and temperature are closely linked to the individual metabolism of the patient.
Beyond the macroscopic therapeutic differences between adult and pediatric patients, today it is increasingly essential to "measure" the intensity of care also on the wishes expressed for well-being by the patient, or to consider what degree of disability the patient and his caregivers can consider acceptable after extremely critical pathological conditions. This Special Issue is dedicated to all the literature, which focuses on the aspects of tailored critical care. Journal articles, reviews, and communications are welcomed.
