Emerging themes emphasize patient-centered approaches in anesthesia, addressing individual patient needs, preferences, and shared decision-making in anesthetic management. - Research on Chronic Pain Management:
The journal is increasingly addressing chronic pain management, particularly in the context of postoperative care, reflecting a shift towards understanding long-term patient outcomes. - Telemedicine and Remote Monitoring:
With the rise of telehealth, there is a noticeable increase in research surrounding telemedicine applications in preoperative consultations and postoperative follow-ups. - Environmental Considerations in Anesthesia:
Emerging discussions on the environmental impact of anesthetic practices and the adoption of greener anesthesia techniques are becoming more prominent in recent literature.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Anesthetic Techniques:
There is a noticeable decline in publications focusing on traditional inhalation anesthesia techniques, as newer methods and modalities gain traction and interest among practitioners. - General Anesthesia for Non-Surgical Procedures:
As the field moves towards more patient-centered approaches, there is a waning interest in general anesthesia for non-surgical procedures, with a shift towards sedation and regional techniques. - Single-Agent Anesthetic Protocols:
The emphasis on single-agent anesthetic protocols is decreasing, as the field increasingly recognizes the benefits of multimodal anesthesia for improved outcomes and reduced side effects. - Focus on Opioid-Based Analgesics:
Research on opioid-based analgesics is seeing a decline, reflecting a broader trend towards exploring alternative pain management strategies in response to the opioid crisis. - Invasive Monitoring Techniques:
There appears to be less focus on invasive monitoring techniques as non-invasive options and advancements in technology become more widely adopted and validated.
