Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, emergency medicine has increasingly integrated high-intensity therapeutic practices traditionally associated with intensive care, reinterpreting them through a less invasive lens. This Special Issue aims to explore how core elements of critical care, such as ventilation, hemodynamic monitoring, and pharmacological management, can be adapted to the emergency setting using non-invasive or minimally invasive tools and strategies.
Early use of non-invasive monitoring, non-invasive ventilatory support applications, and timely initiation of pharmacological therapies guided by personalized clinical indicators make it possible to deliver high-level care while minimizing the invasive burden on patients. This approach can lead to earlier improvements in clinical outcomes, reduce the need for intensive care, and optimize the use of available resources.
We welcome original research, systematic reviews, and clinical experiences that examine the adaptation of intensive care practices to the emergency setting, with particular focus on clinical effectiveness, feasibility, and impact on patient outcomes.
Rethinking invasiveness could represent a paradigm shift in the management of critically ill patients, opening new opportunities for early, safe, and effective treatment beginning in the emergency department.
