Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The provision of medical care to critically ill patients remains challenging despite recent technological and scientific advances. At the same time, our understanding of the cardiopulmonary system, one of the foundations of critical care, is constantly evolving, making it particularly important to account for human physiology when managing complex disease processes. Therefore, from a physiological point of view, mastering cardiorespiratory physiology and identifying the pathophysiological mechanisms and archetypes involved in critical illness allow the physician to apply individualized management options to improve the outcomes of critically ill patients.
The Journal of Clinical Medicine is pleased to introduce a Special Issue dedicated to applied cardiorespiratory physiology in critical care medicine. The aim of this Special Issue is to reinforce our use of the physiological perspectives underpinning our understanding of severe illness and response to therapy and provide an authoritative, integrated presentation of the core information that is essential for clinical decision-making and effective patient management.
We invite physicians-scientists, clinicians, and researchers to submit their work, i.e., original research studies, narrative reviews, and/or systematic reviews and meta-analyses, in all aspects of applied cardiorespiratory physiology including, but not limited to, hemodynamic and respiratory monitoring; volume conditions of the cardiovascular system; venous return; heart-lung interactions; cardiac output; ventriculo-arterial coupling; hemodynamic coherence and microcirculation; adequacy of organ perfusion; diffusion of respiratory gases and oxygen transport to tissue; shock; advanced hemodynamic support; assessment of responsiveness to fluids, vasoactive drugs/inotropes/vasodilators, and blood/blood components; elastic forces and lung volumes; respiratory system resistance; pulmonary ventilation, circulation, and perfusion; respiratory failure; high altitude and flying; high pressure and diving; and individualized, physiology-guided management.
We hope that the content of this Special Issue will offer practical bedside knowledge for clinicians, serving as an invaluable reference for key issues regularly confronted in everyday practice.

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.
