Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Clinical Advances in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine”, aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges and progress in the management of critically ill children. In particular, the management of multi-organ dysfunction is complex, with worse outcomes and a higher mortality rate observed here than other issues requiring critical care. New insights have emerged that help outline the pathogenesis of organ failure and new therapies have evolved to address organ support as well as to ameliorate the inflammatory response, which can exacerbate organ dysfunction. In addition, this Special Issue will highlight the management of treatment-related complications in pediatric oncology patients, including chemotherapy-induced complications, infectious complications, and organ toxicities. It will explore evidence-based interventions and multidisciplinary approaches to mitigating these challenges.
In conclusion, this Special Issue provides a comprehensive overview of pediatric critical care, with an emphasis on early diagnosis, multidisciplinary collaboration, and therapeutic advances. We welcome original articles or review manuscripts on “Clinical Advances in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine”.
