Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pediatric anesthesia has always presented pediatric anesthesiologists with a highly interesting, complex and non-uniform patient group whose treatment and care are exceptionally rewarding. Highly variable factors such as age, weight, organ maturity, changing physiology and the complex interaction between patients, parents and doctors are just some of these factors. The approach of treating “miniature adults” in the dark ages of pediatric anesthesia before 1930 have long been abandoned. Ongoing endeavors for development and evolution in techniques, equipment, training procedures tailored to different age groups and surgical interventions have resulted in continuous improvements in patient safety and optimization of patient outcomes from neonates to juveniles.
Today, pediatric anesthesiology is a highly specialized field with dedicated training programs and researchers focused on improving the safety and effectiveness of anesthesia in children from preclinical emergency medicine and perioperative, in-hospital care to discharge and follow-up investigations.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine aims to explore the latest strategies, trends and inventions in pediatric anesthesia that focus on patient safety and tailored treatment solutions. Studies will present training concepts in the area of emergency and clinical treatment, implementation of safety control schemes, pediatric perioperative safety protocols, methods for quality improvement and enhanced patient safety as well as basic science, biomarker analytics, up-to-date monitoring systems and AI-based research customizing treatment and medication safety.
Our goal is to demonstrate that pediatric anesthesia requires personalized medicine for every patient in every age group to ensure the maximum safety that we can facilitate and that scientific advances are key to securing this.
