ACTA ANAESTHESIOLOGICA SCANDINAVICA
Scope & Guideline
Advancing Anesthesia: Bridging Research and Practice
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Clinical Anesthesia Techniques:
The journal publishes research on various anesthesia techniques, including general, regional, and sedation methods, with a focus on their efficacy, safety, and optimization in specific patient populations. - Intensive Care Medicine:
It covers studies related to critical care practices, including management protocols, risk assessment, and outcome evaluations for critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs). - Pain Management Strategies:
The journal emphasizes research on pain management approaches, including multimodal analgesia, opioid-sparing techniques, and the use of regional anesthesia for postoperative pain control. - Patient Safety and Quality Improvement:
Research focusing on patient safety measures, quality improvement initiatives in anesthesia practice, and the assessment of clinical guidelines is a core area of interest. - Outcomes Research:
ACTA ANAESTHESIOLOGICA SCANDINAVICA is dedicated to studies evaluating clinical outcomes, quality of life, and long-term effects of anesthetic interventions and ICU management. - Innovative Technologies and Techniques:
The journal also explores the integration of new technologies in anesthesia and critical care, including monitoring devices, telemedicine applications, and advancements in procedural techniques.
Trending and Emerging
- COVID-19 Related Research:
Research addressing the impact of COVID-19 on anesthetic practices, ICU management, and patient outcomes has surged, reflecting the pandemic's profound influence on healthcare. - Multimodal Analgesia and Opioid-Sparing Techniques:
There is a growing emphasis on multimodal analgesia strategies that minimize opioid use, addressing the opioid crisis and enhancing recovery after surgery. - Telemedicine and Remote Monitoring:
The integration of telemedicine and remote monitoring systems in anesthesiology and critical care has emerged as a significant focus, especially in response to the need for safer patient management during the pandemic. - Personalized Medicine in Anesthesia:
Emerging research on personalized anesthesia approaches, taking into account genetic, physiological, and psychosocial factors that influence patient responses to anesthetic agents, is gaining traction. - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applications:
The application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in predicting patient outcomes, optimizing anesthesia techniques, and improving ICU workflows is becoming a prominent area of research.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Approaches:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focusing solely on traditional pharmacological approaches to anesthesia, such as single-agent anesthesia regimens, in favor of multimodal analgesia and opioid-sparing strategies. - Basic Anesthesia Techniques:
Research on basic anesthesia techniques without the incorporation of advanced monitoring or technology has waned, as the field increasingly emphasizes enhanced recovery protocols and personalized anesthesia. - Non-ICU Critical Care Practices:
Topics related to non-ICU critical care practices, such as general emergency care or procedures outside the ICU context, have become less prominent, possibly due to a greater focus on ICU-specific research. - Historical Perspectives on Anesthesia:
There appears to be a diminishing interest in historical analyses and reviews of anesthesia practices, as the journal shifts towards more contemporary and evidence-based research. - Basic Biomechanical Studies:
Studies focusing on basic biomechanical aspects of anesthesia equipment or techniques without clinical implications have seen a decrease, as the journal prioritizes clinically relevant research.
