Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Critical care medicine is one of the most complex and challenging disciplines of medicine. From the recent COVID-19 pandemic and considering the high lethality of the most common diseases encountered in intensive care units such as sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), critical care medicine continuously seeks better therapeutic strategies aimed at predicting and identifying the occurrence of severe pathological disorders early, better supporting failing organs and systems, accelerating organ recovery, and improving long-term functional outcomes and the quality of life. Despite intense efforts during the last decades, critical care medicine still faces pathological conditions characterized by high mortality and morbidity. Moreover, the increase in life expectancy and lack of resources in low-income countries make caring for the critically ill even more challenging, raising relevant questions regarding cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Accordingly, this Special Issue is calling for original research and systematic reviews that have investigated potential novel aspects of critical care medicine, including the application of artificial intelligence to specific aspects of diagnosis, monitoring and treatment, the need and use of big data derived from large platform databases for epidemiological and therapeutic studies, the sustainability of the critical care system, data on long-term functional organ recovery and outcomes, and any other relevant and novel aspects of specific diseases characterizing critical care medicine, such as sepsis, ARDS, trauma, etc.
