Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As acute medical crises—ranging from infectious disease outbreaks and mass casualty incidents to natural disasters—become increasingly prevalent, the importance of rapid, coordinated, and adaptable strategies in the field of emergency medicine has never been greater.
This Special Issue explores the latest approaches and strategies in managing acute medical threats encountered in emergency medicine. It emphasizes event-driven protocols designed to rapidly assess, triage, and treat critical conditions such as acute cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, gastroenterological, and pregnancy-related events; traumatic and non-traumatic injuries; infectious outbreaks; chemical or biological incidents; and natural disasters. The issue reviews evidence-based practices, innovative technologies, and multidisciplinary coordination efforts aimed at improving patient outcomes during sudden, large-scale emergencies.
This issue aims to provide clinicians, researchers, and policymakers with a comprehensive overview of current best practices, innovative approaches, and future directions in managing acute medical threats. By emphasizing event-driven strategies, we seek to enhance preparedness, optimize response efforts, and ultimately improve patient outcomes in the face of unpredictable and formidable emergencies.
