High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) and Noninvasive Ventilation: What Is New in Acute, Chronic and Rehabilitation Settings?

Dear Colleague,

This Special Issue aims to explore advancements and emerging trends in the utilization of diverse respiratory support therapies for patients at the acute, post-acute, and chronic/rehabilitation phases of chronic respiratory diseases.

In recent years, clinicians and intensivists have been compelled to find new practices to optimize the use of and to tailor all respiratory support interventions in aiding patients suffering from respiratory insufficiency.

Novel developments in this field would help to provide the scientific community with innovative ideas to support patients with all respiratory diseases, from restrictive to obstructive diseases, during the acute, post-acute, and chronic/rehabilitation phases of respiratory insufficiency.

We welcome the submission of all manuscripts focused on describing new proposals, emerging trends, and advances in the field of mechanical respiratory support modalities and their applications during the acute, post-acute, and chronic/rehabilitation phases of respiratory insufficiency.
