Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on respiratory care, particularly mechanical ventilation in both adult and pediatric populations. It covers topics such as noninvasive ventilation (NIV), invasive mechanical ventilation, and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy. Research includes the monitoring and adjustment of ventilator settings and alarms, patient-ventilator interaction, and the accuracy of measurements related to respiratory mechanics and mechanical power. The journal also addresses specific applications like airway clearance, secretion management, and the use of respiratory support in various clinical settings including home care, intensive care units, and during procedures.
