Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical management in anesthesia critical care represents a multifaceted approach to the critically ill patient, with a comprehensive view of all aspects that can influence outcomes. This includes managing patients in the operating room, intensive care units, and other critical care settings. Anesthesia and critical care medicine represent two of the most rapidly evolving fields in clinical practice. The increasing complexity of patient profiles, the emergence of novel technologies, and the growing emphasis on personalized and multidisciplinary approaches demand a continuous reevaluation of current management protocols. The need for evidence-based, patient-centered care has never been more urgent. Specifically, the management of critically ill patients must increasingly be personalized based on the patient's characteristics using not only technical skills but also non-technical ones.
This Special Issue invites submissions that address key topics including but not limited to:
- Advanced perioperative management and monitoring techniques;
- Novel sedation and analgesia protocols;
- Hemodynamic and respiratory support strategies;
- Sepsis and infection control in critical care;
- Management of organ dysfunction and failure;
- Ethical and organizational challenges in ICU and anesthesia care;
- Artificial intelligence and digital tools in clinical decision-making;
- Postoperative outcomes and long-term follow-up of critically ill patients;
- Technical and non-technical skills used to personalize treatments;
- Organizational and management models of healthcare facilities and personnel.
We warmly welcome researchers to contribute their work to this issue and look forward to receiving innovative and impactful submissions.
Dr. Gianluca Zani
