Mechanical Ventilation: New Insight
Aims and Scope
Mechanical ventilation is important treatment for the patients with respiratory failure and anesthesia for operation. However, the indication of non-invasive support transfer to invasive support, optimal ventilation settings for ARDS, mechanisms of ventilator-induced lung injury(VILI) and ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction(VIDD), et al. are not clarified. This Special Issue is intended to collect the most recent developments in the area of mechanical ventilation (e.g., high flow nasal oxygenation, non-invasive ventilation, invasive ventilation, ventilator-induced lung injury(VILI) and ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction(VIDD), et al.).
Main topics and quality control
The topics can comprise all aspects of mechanical ventilation, including, but not limited to, the following subjects:
•Respiratory physiology during mechanical ventilation
•Respiratory monitoring with mechanical ventilation
•Non-invasive ventilation with respiratory failure
•Optimal settings of mechanical ventilation
•Mechanisms and prevention of VILI and VIDD
•Current developments and future trends on mechanical ventilation, including precision medicine
