Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, intensive care nursing has witnessed several innovations and developments aimed at improving the care of critically ill patients. Some of these new trends include the following:
- Advanced Technology: The introduction of innovative technologies helps nurses monitor and treat patients more accurately and promptly.
- Multidisciplinary Approaches: ICUs are increasingly adopting a multidisciplinary approach, involving all healthcare professionals.
- Focus on Humanization of Care and the Fundamentals of Care: Scientific societies and healthcare organizations must constantly review and update guidelines and best practices to ensure that nursing care is based on the best scientific evidence.
- Training and Professional Development: Intensive care nurses are receiving increasingly specialized training to address the unique challenges of caring for critically ill patients. Additionally, they are encouraged to participate in professional development programs to stay updated on their latest practices and technologies.
- Organizational Issues: After the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals and their units have been solicited to rethink the current models and organizational aspects of the delivery of care toward more flexible models, including intensive care units.
The following are some examples of topics that can be addressed in this Special Issue:
- Critical care nursing and the fundamentals of care;
- ABCDEF bundle and humanization of care;
- Nursing transplantation;
- In-hospital cardiac arrest;
- Impact of artificial intelligence;
- Intensive care unit management.
We welcome contributions from researchers worldwide.
