EGYPTIAN JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIA
Scope & Guideline
Unlocking Anesthesia Excellence: A Hub for Clinicians and Researchers
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Regional Anaesthesia Techniques:
The journal emphasizes the development and evaluation of various regional anaesthesia techniques, such as the erector spinae plane block and quadratus lumborum block, showcasing their efficacy in pain management across diverse surgical procedures. - Postoperative Pain Management:
A core area of research includes studies on postoperative pain management strategies, particularly the use of multimodal analgesia and opioid-sparing techniques to enhance recovery and reduce complications. - Anaesthesia in Special Populations:
There is a consistent focus on anaesthesia practices in special populations, including pediatric patients, elderly patients, and those with comorbidities, addressing the unique challenges and considerations in these groups. - Critical Care and Monitoring:
The journal highlights advances in critical care monitoring, including hemodynamic monitoring and the use of biomarkers for predicting outcomes in critically ill patients, indicating its commitment to improving care in intensive settings. - Innovative Anesthetic Agents and Techniques:
Research on innovative anesthetic agents, such as dexmedetomidine and their combinations with traditional agents, is frequently presented, reflecting the journal's emphasis on enhancing safety and efficacy in anesthesia. - Educational and Training Aspects in Anaesthesia:
The journal also addresses educational approaches and training programs for anaesthesia professionals, particularly in light of challenges posed by events like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trending and Emerging
- Opioid-Sparing Techniques:
There is a significant trend towards exploring opioid-sparing techniques for pain management, as seen in the increased research on regional anaesthesia and multimodal analgesia strategies that aim to reduce reliance on opioids. - Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols:
The focus on ERAS protocols has grown, reflecting an emerging interest in optimizing perioperative care to improve patient outcomes, shorten recovery times, and enhance overall surgical experiences. - Application of Ultrasound in Anaesthesia:
The use of ultrasound-guided techniques in anaesthesia is increasingly prominent, with ongoing research into its applications for various blocks and its role in improving accuracy and reducing complications. - Impact of COVID-19 on Anaesthesia Practice:
The journal has seen a rise in studies examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on anaesthesia practices, education, and outcomes, highlighting the need for adaptability in the face of global health challenges. - Biomarkers in Critical Care:
Emerging research on the use of biomarkers for predicting outcomes in critical care settings is gaining traction, indicating a trend towards personalized medicine and better prognostic tools. - Telemedicine and Remote Monitoring:
Recent publications hint at the increasing relevance of telemedicine and remote monitoring in anaesthesia, especially in the context of the pandemic, reflecting a shift towards integrating technology in patient management.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional General Anaesthesia Techniques:
The usage of traditional general anaesthesia techniques has seen a decline, with a noticeable shift towards regional anaesthesia and multimodal approaches, suggesting a move away from solely general anaesthesia in favor of more targeted pain management strategies. - Invasive Monitoring Techniques:
There appears to be less emphasis on traditional invasive monitoring techniques in anaesthesia, as newer non-invasive methods gain traction, reflecting a broader trend towards minimizing invasiveness in clinical practice. - Pharmacological Interventions:
While pharmacological interventions remain important, there is a waning focus on older agents and combinations that have been widely used in the past, as newer agents and protocols are increasingly preferred. - Postoperative Complications Studies:
Research specifically targeting postoperative complications, particularly in non-critical populations, is less frequent, indicating a potential shift towards preventive measures and enhanced recovery protocols rather than post hoc evaluations.
