Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emergency medicine as a specialty has seen rapid growth in the past two decades. Since 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency medicine has faced many challenges, but we have also encountered more opportunities and advancements, especially in regard to caring for critically ill patients.
With staff shortages, many Emergency Departments (EDs) are keeping patients longer in them, which hinders care and affect outcomes for all patients. The “boarding” issue and how to improve patient care in this setting is becoming increasingly important. Additionally, since 2020, emergency clinicians have become first-line defenders for critically ill patients. Since then, emergency medicine has also encountered more opportunities to care for patients, including the widespread adoption of point-of-care ultrasound to evaluate patients’ volume status, right heart strain with Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE), and the advancement of Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) for eligible patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, etc.
In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit scholarly works that suggest solutions or trends to current issues generally applicable to emergency medicine patients or critically ill patients. We also welcome submissions regarding managements or interventions that will benefit critically ill patients in EDs.
