Critical Care Update: Innovations in Diagnostic & Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

The concept of intensive care unit has existed for almost 70 years, with outstanding development progress in recent decades. Multidisciplinary care of critically ill patients has become an integral part of every modern healthcare system, ensuring improved care and reduced mortality. Easier access to care, early recognition of severe medical and surgical illnesses, advanced prehospital care, and organized immediate care in trauma centers lead to the rise of ICU patients. Moreover, continuous research and the fast development of technologies in the field of critical care face clinicians with the need for continuous education. The main goal of this Special Issue is to summarize and collect the newest information on epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostics, monitoring, therapeutic strategies, and patient-related outcomes in critical care.

The present Special Issue on “Critical Care Update: Innovations in Diagnostic and Treatment” welcomes the submission of work related to the most recent developments in experimental and clinical intensive care and emergency medicine research and practice, addressing innovative therapeutic and diagnostic strategies in the care of the critically ill. We invite all researchers of associated disciplines who focus on the care of acutely ill patients to submit original articles or reviews in their area of expertise, enhancing the multidisciplinarity of modern critical care.
