Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of the Special Issue is to cover a broad spectrum of clinical care clinical practices and basic research advances and innovations in clinical anesthesia, intensive care, and emergency medicine. It also can include the impact of anesthesia, intensive care and emergency care on the environment and the impact of frailty on postoperative outcome. The Special Issue hopes to bring together healthcare specialists who treat patients in the operating room, intensive care unit, and emergency department, and other healthcare professionals. We hope to provide an open and friendly platform and space for the exchange and share of ideas and views on the management of the critically ill patients, offering in-depth coverage of this specialty.

Modern anesthesia continues to be impacted in new and unforeseen ways by digital technology. Combining portability and versatility, mobile applications or “apps” provide a multitude of ways to enhance anesthetic and peri-operative care. Research suggests that the uptake of apps into anesthetic practice is becoming increasingly routine, especially amongst younger anesthetists brought up in the digital age. Despite this enthusiasm, there remains no consensus on how apps are safely and efficiently integrated into anesthetic practice. This review summarizes the most popular forms of app usage in anesthesia currently and explores the challenges and opportunities inherent in implementing app use in anesthesia, with an emphasis on a practical approach for the modern anesthetist.
