Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrasound is a non-irradiating bedside tool that has become increasingly accessible, now being available in hand-held devices. It allows integrative head-to-toe clinical assessment and offers guidance for invasive procedures. For these reasons, ultrasound has recently become progressively present in the hands of anesthetists, critical care physicians, and surgeons, as well as physiotherapists and nurses.
We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue, “Adult Critical Care Ultrasound”, to further supplement the body of evidence on the role of this invaluable tool in the management of critically ill patients. Topics to be covered in this issue include cardiac, lung, and diaphragm ultrasound, with a particular emphasis on mechanical ventilation evaluation, the weaning phase, and invasive procedures.
Case series, original research articles, and review articles are all welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Luigi Vetrugno
