Anesthesiology (ANS)

Section Information

Anesthesiology focuses on the science and practice of anesthesia, perioperative care, pain management, and critical care medicine. It examines the pharmacology, physiology, monitoring methods, and safety practices necessary to support patients before, during, and after surgical and diagnostic procedures.

Modern anesthesiology integrates advanced monitoring technologies, airway management techniques, regional anesthesia methods, multimodal analgesia, and approaches for managing complex medical conditions in the perioperative environment. Research in this field also addresses patient safety, outcomes optimization, and innovations in anesthetic agents and equipment.

This section publishes research articles, clinical studies, reviews, and case reports related to anesthetic techniques, mechanisms of anesthesia, pain management, perioperative care, critical care interventions, and emerging technologies that enhance patient safety and outcomes.
