About the Journal

Aim of the Journal:

International Anesthesiology, Pain, and Intensive Care seeks to be a leading global forum for advancing the science and practice of anesthesiology, pain management, and critical care. The journal is dedicated to promoting excellence through publication of high-quality research, innovative practices, and the latest methodologies that enhance patient care and influence the global clinical community in these fields. The journal welcomes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, case reports, and clinical trials that contribute substantial new information and insights. It also welcomes editorials, commentaries, and letters to the editor that stimulate scholarly debate and consensus on emerging issues and technologies in the field.

Scope of the Journal:

International Anesthesiology, Pain, and Intensive Care covers a broad range of topics within its three core disciplines. The scope includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  1. Anesthesiology:
    • Advances in anesthetic agents, techniques, and protocols.
    • Perioperative management, including preoperative assessments, intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative care.
    • Airway management, regional anesthesia, and neuraxial techniques.
    • Anesthesia for specialized surgeries (e.g., cardiac, obstetric, pediatric, and neurosurgical anesthesia).
    • Complications and safety measures in anesthesia, such as difficult airway scenarios, perioperative hypothermia, and anaphylaxis.
    • Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols.
  2. Pain Management:
    • Acute and chronic pain management strategies, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.
    • Neuropathic, musculoskeletal, and cancer-related pain treatments.
    • Innovations in pain control modalities such as nerve blocks, epidurals, spinal cord stimulation, and opioid-sparing techniques.
    • Psychological and multidisciplinary approaches to managing complex pain syndromes.
    • Pain management in vulnerable populations (e.g., elderly, pediatric, and critically ill patients).
    • Personalized pain management and patient-centric approaches.
  3. Intensive Care:
    • Clinical management of critically ill patients, including sepsis, respiratory failure, multi-organ dysfunction, and shock.
    • Innovations in mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and other life-support technologies.
    • Hemodynamic monitoring, fluid resuscitation, and advanced cardiovascular support.
    • Neurocritical care, trauma, and emergency medicine in intensive care settings.
    • Infection control, antibiotic stewardship, and the management of drug-resistant organisms in critical care.
    • Ethical, legal, and logistical challenges in intensive care, including end-of-life care and palliative care in the ICU.
    • Implementation of evidence-based practices, clinical guidelines, and quality improvement initiatives in the ICU.
