About the Collection

BMC Anesthesiology is calling for submissions to our collection, Advances in neuroanesthesia.
Neuroanesthesia is a specialized field that focuses on the anesthetic management of patients undergoing neurosurgical advanced anesthetic techniques and monitoring strategies that ensure optimal patient outcomes.

Recent advancements have included the development of novel anesthetic agents, enhanced intraoperative monitoring technologies, and improved protocols for managing patients with neurological conditions. These innovations are crucial for minimizing neurological deficits and improving recovery times in patients undergoing brain surgery or other neurocritical interventions.

Continuing to advance our understanding in this field can enhance patient safety and outcomes in neurosurgical and neurocritical care settings. Important steps have been made in areas such as neuroprotective strategies, the use of multimodal analgesia, and the integration of advanced imaging techniques into anesthetic practice. These developments not only improve the quality of patient care but also contribute to a deeper understanding of the neurophysiological effects of anesthesia. As we explore this field further, we can identify new approaches to optimize anesthesia management and mitigate potential complications.

We invite submissions from all aspects of this field, including, but not limited to:

  • Innovations in neuroanesthesia techniques
  • Neuroprotective strategies in neurosurgery
  • Intraoperative monitoring advancements
  • Multimodal analgesia in neurocritical care
  • Enhanced recovery after neurosurgery
  • Fluid management in neurosurgical patients
  • ICP management in Neuro ICU
  • Infection control in Neuro ICU
     

Future research holds the promise of even more significant advancements, including the potential for personalized anesthetic regimens based on genetic and biomarker profiles. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into anesthetic practice may lead to enhanced decision-making processes, allowing for real-time adjustments during surgery. As we continue to investigate the intricacies of neuroanesthesia, we may uncover novel techniques that further improve patient outcomes and redefine standards of neurosurgical and neurocritical care.
