About the Journal

Aim of the Journal:

Emergency and Critical Care Medicine International aims to serve as a leading platform for the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed research, reviews, and clinical case reports related to emergency medicine and critical care. The journal promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing among healthcare professionals, researchers, and academicians worldwide. Its primary focus is to enhance patient care through the publication of novel findings, clinical practices, and advancements in medical technologies that directly impact the fields of emergency and critical care. The journal gives emphases to of all aspects of emergency and critical care, including but not limited to trauma management, sepsis, resuscitation, emergency procedures, critical care nursing, organ support systems, pharmacological interventions, and healthcare delivery systems in emergency settings.

Scope of the Journal:

The scope of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine International covers a broad range of topics relevant to the practice and research in both emergency medicine and critical care. This includes:

Trauma and Acute Injury Management:

New protocols and strategies for managing traumatic injuries, from initial evaluation to definitive care.
Innovations in pre-hospital and hospital-based trauma care.
Multidisciplinary approaches to trauma management involving surgery, nursing, and rehabilitation.

Critical Illness and Resuscitation:

Studies on advanced life-saving techniques, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), defibrillation, and ventilation strategies.
Critical care procedures and outcomes for patients in sepsis, septic shock, or other life-threatening conditions.

Emergency Diagnostics and Monitoring:

Advances in imaging, laboratory, and point-of-care diagnostics in emergency and critical settings.
Role of emerging technologies such as ultrasound, artificial intelligence, and machine learning in diagnosing acute conditions.

Pharmacotherapy in Emergency and Critical Care:

Research on the efficacy, safety, and novel applications of drugs used in acute care settings, including antibiotics, vasopressors, and sedatives.
Clinical trials focusing on new pharmacological agents for critical illnesses.

Organ Support and Replacement Therapies:

Studies on the application and improvement of organ support systems, such as mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), renal replacement therapy, and liver support systems.
Innovations in managing multi-organ failure in critically ill patients.

Sepsis and Septic Shock:

Emerging research on the pathophysiology, biomarkers, and novel therapeutic approaches for sepsis and its complications.
Guidelines for the management of sepsis in emergency and critical care environments.

Critical Care Nursing and Healthcare Systems:

Research on the role and impact of critical care nursing in patient outcomes.
Studies on healthcare delivery models, staffing, and the role of telemedicine in emergency and critical care.
Assessments of healthcare system preparedness for mass casualty incidents and pandemics.

Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues:

Discussions on ethical dilemmas in emergency and critical care medicine, such as end-of-life decisions, consent in incapacitated patients, and resource allocation during crises.
Research on the legal frameworks surrounding emergency care, including malpractice and patient rights.

Global and Humanitarian Emergency Medicine:

Research on emergency and critical care challenges in low-resource settings, including disaster management, global health initiatives, and responses to humanitarian crises.
Comparative studies between emergency medical systems in developed and developing countries.

Pediatric and Geriatric Emergency Care:

Specialized care protocols, guidelines, and innovations for critically ill or injured pediatric and geriatric populations.
Studies addressing age-specific challenges in acute and intensive care management.
