Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New bedside techniques are emerging in intensive care medicine. In recent years, several respiration monitoring tools based on ventilator waveform analysis and their integration with advanced devices, such as electrical impedance tomography, esophageal pressure monitoring, and quantitative lung imaging, have gained an increasingly relevant role. These technologies support critical illness assessment, enable personalized mechanical ventilation strategies, help guide potentially harmful pressure settings, and may ultimately improve patient management and outcomes.
Advances in sensor miniaturization, continuous data acquisition, artificial intelligence-driven data aggregation, and computational power are redefining how intensivists monitor critically ill patients.
Further studies are needed to evaluate and refine both established and novel monitoring approaches. Supporting clinicians in analyzing and interpreting lung-monitoring data more efficiently is a key step toward advancing personalized respiratory care.
This Special Issue aims to gather original research and review articles focused on lung monitoring in critical care.
