Research Progress in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine

Dear Colleagues, 

This Special Issue of “Pediatric Critical Care Medicine” aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges and progress in the management of critically ill children. In particular, the management of multi-organ dysfunction is complex with observed worse outcomes and a higher mortality rate. New insights have emerged to outline the pathogenesis of organ failure, and new therapies have evolved to address organ support as well as to amelerioate the inflammatory response that can exacerbate organ dysfunction. In addition, this issue emphasizes the management of treatment-related complications in pediatric oncology patients, including chemotherapy-induced complications, infectious complications, and organ toxicities. It explores evidence-based interventions and multidisciplinary approaches to mitigate these challenges.

In conclusion, this Special Issue provides a comprehensive overview of pediatric critical care, with an emphasis on early diagnosis, multidisciplinary collaboration, and therapeutic advances. We welcome original articles or review manuscripts on “Research Progress in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine”.
