Trending and Emerging
- Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols:
There is a growing focus on protocols aimed at improving postoperative recovery, emphasizing multimodal analgesia and minimizing opioid use. - Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Applications:
An increasing number of studies are exploring the application of machine learning and AI in predicting patient outcomes, optimizing anesthesia management, and enhancing monitoring techniques. - Regional Anesthesia Innovations:
Research on novel regional anesthesia techniques, such as the erector spinae plane block and other fascial plane blocks, is becoming more prominent, indicating a shift towards less invasive pain management strategies. - Patient-Centered Anesthesia:
There is a marked increase in studies focused on patient-centered approaches, including the assessment of patient preferences and outcomes in anesthetic practice. - Impact of COVID-19 on Anesthesia Practice:
The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on anesthesia protocols, patient management, and safety measures are increasingly being addressed in the literature. - Postoperative Cognitive Function:
Research on the effects of anesthesia on postoperative cognitive function, particularly in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, is gaining traction. - Pharmacogenomics in Anesthesia:
Emerging interest in how genetic factors influence responses to anesthetic agents, paving the way for personalized anesthesia approaches.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Anesthesia Techniques:
There appears to be a waning interest in traditional methods of anesthesia, such as the use of older inhalational agents, as new and improved techniques and agents gain traction. - Basic Anesthesia Physiology:
Research focusing solely on basic physiological aspects of anesthesia may be declining, as more studies emphasize clinical applications and outcomes rather than fundamental mechanisms. - Case Reports of Rare Anesthetic Complications:
While case reports remain valuable, there has been a noticeable decrease in the publication of isolated case reports detailing rare complications, as the journal shifts towards more comprehensive studies. - Historical Perspectives on Anesthesia:
Papers discussing historical practices and perspectives in anesthesia are less common, reflecting a trend towards contemporary and future-focused research. - General Reviews without Novel Insights:
The journal seems to be moving away from general review articles that do not provide new insights or advancements in the field, favoring those that offer substantial new data or implications.
