Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of noninvasive respiratory supports (NRSs) has undoubtedly revolutionized clinical practice. The last few decades have witnessed the extended application of NRSs to a variety of acute and chronic lung diseases, where continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV), and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) can be applied with favorable results. A significant advantage of NRSs resides in their ability to decrease the need for invasive mechanical ventilation and the subsequent complications. Hence, the recognition of these potentialities has incentivized NRS strategies in different settings and clinical scenarios. In addition, the evolving advancements in technology and personalized approaches to patients treated with NRSs should guide clinicians to prioritize a patient-centered care model.
In this Special Issue, we intend to explore the latest advancements and innovations in the use of NRS in clinical practice, focusing on the following key domains:
- The physiology and pathophysiology of the respiratory system in patients treated with NRS;
- Strategies to improve adherence to NRS treatment (e.g., interfaces, ventilation modalities, sedation, etc.);
- NRS application in the perioperative setting;
- NRS use for the treatment of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure;
- NRS and weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation;
- The use of NRS for chronic respiratory conditions and home-care ventilation;
- Personalized approaches to NRS treatment.

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.
