Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emergency and critical illnesses are characterized by acute onset and diverse etiologies, making rapid diagnosis and precise therapeutic management crucial for patient prognosis. This Special Issue focuses on exploring innovative strategies and technological advancements that enhance the efficacy and accuracy of diagnosing and managing life-threatening conditions in emergency and critical care settings.
We aim to gather research that addresses the integration of novel diagnostic tools, decision-support systems, and treatment protocols that can be deployed swiftly in time-sensitive scenarios. We welcome submissions of Original Research, Reviews, Case Reports, Interesting Images, and Comments that contribute to the understanding and improvement of clinical outcomes in this high-stakes field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: the application of artificial intelligence in triage and early diagnosis; point-of-care testing and monitoring; protocolized management of sepsis, acute cardiac events, traumatic injuries, acute abdomen; and the role of imaging and biomarkers in guiding critical interventions.
By compiling cutting-edge research and clinical experiences, this issue seeks to provide a comprehensive resource for clinicians and researchers dedicated to advancing the frontiers of emergency and critical care medicine.
