Advances in Pediatric Anesthesia, Pain Medicine and Intensive Care
This special issue belongs to the section “Pediatric Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The research on anesthesia, pain therapy and critical care in the pediatric field is very topical. The thought that a dedicated curriculum is needed for those involved in pediatrics is increasingly gaining strength and authority, since it cannot automatically borrow the knowledge and skills acquired in the field of adults.
Precisely for this reason, this Special Issue aims to welcome all original research manuscripts, meta-analyses, and new reviews dealing with the issues of anesthesia, pain therapy and critical care in the pediatric field. In particular, there will be greater attention given to articles concerning perioperative medicine, which by its very definition involves all the above three branches covered by the Special Issue.
