Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to the second volume of our Special Issue, entitled “Ventilation in Critical Care Medicine: 2nd Edition”. We published five papers in the first volume, which can be accessed here:

Mechanical ventilation is a common and often life-saving intervention for critically ill patients, and it can be carried out in many different ways. For example, the decision to perform invasive or non-invasive ventilation, the choice of device and location (ICU, operation theater, or NORA), settings of the tidal volume and PEEP, the effectiveness of the prone position, and weaning strategies are still debated topics. The avoidance of ventilation-induced lung damage through a protective ventilation approach is currently a major focus of clinical interest. However, despite the fact that multiple studies have been carried out, the questions about which we remain in the dark still outnumber those about which we are certain. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fragility of us all, emphasizing the importance of developing a suitable ventilation strategy related to perfusion, and of both clinical and physiological studies. Ventilation is moving towards goal-directed therapy, using the results of replicable measurements to verify the effectiveness of the treatment and possibly make changes in real time.
This Special Issue aims to provide new insights into pathological mechanisms, as well as examination and treatment methods for critically ill patients, to personalize ventilation. We invite the submission of original research papers as well as contemporary review articles that reflect the latest progress in, and potential of, this research field.
