Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite submissions for a Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine entitled “New Clinical Insights into Acute Respiratory Failure.” This Special Issue aims to bring together high-quality original research that enhances our understanding of the mechanisms, monitoring, and management of acute respiratory failure in both critical care and emergency settings.
We welcome original research articles addressing topics of acute respiratory failure, including mechanisms of lung injury and patient–ventilator asynchrony. Studies involving advanced monitoring, respiratory mechanics, respiratory drive assessment, electrical impedance tomography (EIT), lung and diaphragm ultrasound, and esophageal manometry are highly encouraged.
We also invite studies focusing on respiratory support strategies, including high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO), non-invasive ventilation (NIV), conventional and non-conventional modes of invasive mechanical ventilation, the effects of body positioning, and studies involving patients on veno-venous ECMO.
This Special Issue aims to provide clinicians and researchers with new insights that may contribute to improved patient care. We warmly encourage you to submit your latest work and to disseminate this invitation within your networks.
Dr. Christophe Guervilly
Guest Editor
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
