This special research issue could be addressed to cardiovascular anesthesiologists, intensivists, cardiovascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists and all the physicians with expertise in organ function monitoring and organ failure treatment.
Indeed, organ function monitoring and dysfunction prevention are pivotal goals in cardiovascular surgery, interventional cardiology and critical care since the complexity of the procedures and the frailty of patients can be related with an increased risk of organ dysfunction, morbidity and mortality.
An increasing research drive has been produced and it is still ongoing, representing one of the most important fields of interest in the anesthesia and the critical care setting.
Organ function monitoring and preservation in cardiovascular anesthesia and critical care is an issue involving not only the cardiovascular system, but also many others like the central nervous system, the respiratory function, the renal function, coagulation, etc.
In this special issue all these topics should be faced both in the experimental and in the clinical setting. The most recent and innovative approaches should find a place. However, the "state of the art" and the evaluation of procedures being part of the clinical practice must be considered.
Thus, advanced hemodynamic monitoring (i.e. advanced echocardiographic techniques) and advanced techniques of cardiorespiratory support (also special topics about mechanical ventilation), central nervous system function monitoring techniques and brain and spinal cord protection strategies, renal function protection strategies, coagulation monitoring and disorders management should be the main topics of this special issue.
The scope of this Research Topic is to face issues related to organ function monitoring and preserving in patients who have undergone cardiac and vascular surgery in the critical care setting. Advanced hemodynamic monitoring, echocardiographic techniques, central nervous system monitoring and protection strategies also in particular settings (i.e. cardiac arrest and surgical operations needing circulatory arrest and cerebral perfusions), renal function protection and advanced blood purification strategies, respiratory function support and mechanical ventilation in special settings. Submissions based on these topics are highly requested. Submissions can also be made in the form of original research, case-reports, data-reports, editorials and more.
Keywords:
Cardiovascular Anesthesia, Cardiovascular Surgery, Interventional Cardiology, Cardiac Critical Care, Cardiac Function, Emodynamic Monitoring, Renal Function.
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
