Abstract
This Research Topic explores the advancement of critical care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with a focus on processes and technologies. Farré et al. introduce a cost-effective method for developing pneumotachographs to measure flow and volume in mechanical ventilation, while Herbst et al. address issues like hypoxemia management and oxygen conservation. Barros-Poblete et al. highlight improvements in early mobilization practices in LMIC ICUs, and Brotherton et al. compare prediction models for in-hospital mortality in LMIC settings. Additionally, Ab Rahman et al. provide insights into COVID-19 outcomes in Malaysian ICUs. These studies underscore the importance of context-specific research and the potential for LMIC innovations to enhance care globally.
