Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The progress in science has constantly improved the principles and practices in the demanding field of pediatric anesthesia during the recent decades. All these advances ultimately serve one goal: to maximize safety for children and minimize the risk of anesthesia. For example, the use of ultrasound alone has opened up completely new possibilities for regional anesthesia in infants and premature babies. However, despite the ever-increasing wealth of knowledge, there are still hot topics that need to be scrutinized much more closely. This special Issue highlights “hot topics” being in the mind of the pediatric anesthesia community. The “clinical updates” section includes potential neurotoxicity of anesthesia, hemostasis and neuroaxial blocks in infants, hemodynamics and volume substitution in pediatric patients, anesthesia for pediatric patients with complex syndromes, post-anesthesia emergence delirium, and techniques to address difficult venous access, particularly in a completely uncooperative child. The “perspectives section” addresses innovations with the use of virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and non-pharmacological neuromodulation in the pediatric anesthesia population.
We welcome authors to submit papers dealing with the above-mentioned topics.
