Personalized Medicine in Anesthesia and Anesthetics

Dear Colleagues,

As many of you already know, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly important part of medicine and perioperative care, with its use expanding every year.

AI stands to improve outcomes when focused on identifying at-risk patients, early detection of complications and implementation of proper personalized treatment.

With this Special Issue, we hope to discuss how can anesthesiologists use AI to improve perioperative outcomes.

Broad topics include general perioperative considerations: intraoperative hypotension prediction, acute kidney injury prediction based on intraabdominal pressure monitoring, analysis of facial features to determine the degree of airway difficulty, algorithms based on perioperative data which can detect early stage of heart failure, closed loop systems which enable precise titration of anaesthesia and analgesia, machine learning models which can predict events like mortality. All of these informations based on AI can improve patient safety by point-of-care guidance creation.

With this Special Issue, we hope to encourage submissions that discuss the current state-of-the-art, address ongoing knowledge gaps, and focus on pitfalls and advantages related to artificial intelligence. Original research and reviews are also welcome. 

I look forward to and welcome your participation in this Special Issue.

Dr. Jowita Biernawska

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
