Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Monitoring the depth of anaesthesia using digital devices, including bispectral index (BIS), auditory evoked potentials (AEP), entropy EEG, quality of neuromuscular block using NMT, nociception/anti-nociception balance using pupillometry, surgical pleth index (SPI), and nociception level (NoL), is still not routinely used in modern anaesthesia. Therefore, further studies are required to spread modern technologies in anaesthesia. This Special Issue is therefore dedicated to evaluating their potential utility in optimising the guidance of anaesthesia depth and the quality of analgesia in patients undergoing different surgical procedures where analgesia will be achieved intraoperatively using either ultrasound-guided regional, central, or epidural techniques, with adjuvants, or alternatively with intravenous pre-emptive analgesia using non-opioid medication. The expectations of modern societies of the 21st century entail the eradication of adverse events like acute postoperative pain and chronic postoperative pain, haemodynamic instability despite comorbidities, and postoperative nausea and vomiting with the optimalisation of hospital stay while ensuring economic frugality.
Therefore, this Special Issue is for those who are currently running studies in the field of modern technologies regarding general and regional anaesthesia and their impact on the quality of postoperative care, as well as those performing additional analyses from closed projects regarding the risk factors of the incidence of adverse events in order to design personalised anaesthesia regimens meant to improve outcomes in patients undergoing specific surgical procedures that require an individual approach.
