New Challenges in Emergency and Critical Care

Dear Colleagues,

We believe there is a pressing need for enhanced research in the field of care for patients experiencing life-threatening emergencies. This includes research in prehospital treatment, emergency medical teams, emergency department care, and intensive care units. Numerous barriers exist in prehospital research due to the field’s complex context, presenting unique challenges for research, development, and evaluation.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the current state of the art and showcase some of the latest findings in the care of patients in life-threatening situations. We invite researchers to publish original research articles, meta-analyses, and review articles related to recent advances in this field. Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, novel methods for the management of patients experiencing acute illness and advancements in cardiology, intensive care, and emergency medical services, both at the prehospital and in-hospital stages.

In this Special Issue, we will explore the controversies surrounding current practices and focus on what the future holds for critical care. We encourage you to submit your work and share your knowledge to collectively improve the quality of care for patients in critical conditions.
