Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Managing critically ill patients with respiratory failure is one of the most challenging and dynamic areas in intensive care medicine. Recently, there has been a growing interest in using bedside physiological assessments and advanced monitoring technologies to better understand respiratory mechanics, tailor treatment strategies to individual patients, and improve outcomes for those with acute and chronic respiratory diseases.
This Special Issue aims to gather original research articles, clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews that explore how physiological principles and cutting-edge monitoring tools can be integrated into the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of respiratory diseases in critical care. We are interested in topics such as the following:
- The bedside assessment of respiratory mechanics and gas exchange;
- Assessing patient–ventilator interactions and asynchrony;
- Non-invasive monitoring techniques like electrical impedance tomography (EIT), esophageal manometry, and lung ultrasounds;
- Personalized mechanical ventilation strategies;
- Managing and monitoring conditions like ARDS, COPD, asthma, and other respiratory diseases;
- The prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers used in pulmonary critical care;
- Technological innovations and AI-driven tools for respiratory monitoring.
We invite researchers and clinicians in pulmonary critical care, anesthesiology, respiratory medicine, and biomedical engineering to share their latest findings in this Special Issue. Our goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote the clinical application of cutting-edge research to enhance patient care at the bedside.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
Dr. Gaetano Scaramuzzo

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
