Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to contribute to this Children MDPI Special Issue: “Intensive Care Medicine in Children: Current Concepts and Future Perspectives”. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the actual trends in paediatric intensive care medicine and point out the possible controversies in view of the evidence-based medicine (EBM) approach. The articles for this issue will be selected mainly according to their possible impact on the daily clinical practice in intensive care. The issue will be thematically divided into the sections dedicated to:
- Airway management, oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation and weaning;
- Sepsis in intensive care: identification, treatment, antibiotic therapy;
- Monitoring in intensive care: state of the art;
- Haemodynamic optimalisation: accessing the critically ill paediatric patient;
- Supportive treatment in intensive care: DVT prophylaxis, nutrition, rehabilitation, muscle strength;
- Invasive procedures in paediatric intensive care—intravenous lines, arterial lines, regional anaesthesia;
- Sedation, analgesia, sleep and cognitive disorders (delirium): screening tools, recommendation for clinical practice and possible treatment options;
- COVID-19 and PIMS-TS in paediatric intensive care—a quick approach for a better outcome;
- High-fidelity simulation-based approach: paediatric intensive care training;
- Intensive care nursing—specifics of paediatric intensive care;
- End-of-life decision and palliative care in children (multidisciplinary approach).
