Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Some of the most important topics in the paediatric intensive care currently are (1) the ventilatory support and (2) the best way to monitor the respiratory status of the patient. Recently new technolgies and strategies have expanded around the world and some of them without robust evidence based on randomised control trials. Even more, the economical impact of some of these different technologies involved in the respiratory support is considerable. The aim of this clinical update is to provide a updated overview of the most important topics regarding the respiratory support and monitoring in critically ill paediatric patients.
The most important topics which will be included in this issue are:
- The bedside use of the spO2/FiO2 ratio.
- The importance of hypoxia and its management in a clinical situation.
- HFNC in paediatrics. Evidence and economical analysis.
- Ventilatory support in low income countries. What is the best choice?
- NIV-an overview in paediatrics
- MV in ARDS paediatric patients.
- MV in obstructive patients. A physiological approach .
- HFV in paediatrics. Evidence and economical analysis.
- ELSO in paediatrics. Evidence and economical analysis.
- Mechanical power in paeditrics.
- New monitoring technologies in paediatrics: volumetric capnography, Electrical impedance tomography, etc.
- Taxonomy of the ventilatory modes applied to neonatal and paediatric ventilators
- New modes in neonatal and paediatric (NAVA, PAV, HFOV + VG, etc): are they really cost-effective?
