Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions for a Special Issue dedicated to exploring the transformative role of simulation, artificial intelligence (AI), and emerging technologies in anesthesia and intensive care. We encourage contributions that discuss how these tools can advance research and clinical practice.
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted healthcare systems, exposing critical challenges such as ICU capacity constraints, physician shortages, and the need to maintain surgical activities during crises. In response, modern technologies have driven significant innovations in anesthesia and intensive care, enhancing efficiency, precision, and patient safety.
In this context, machine and deep learning present promising opportunities to optimize decision making, predict patient outcomes, and personalize treatments.
This Special Issue seeks contributions that explore the following topics:
- The impact of AI and machine learning on anesthesia and intensive care;
- New technologies and perspectives;
- Emerging technologies improving perioperative care and ICU management;
- Innovations in crisis preparedness and response post-COVID-19 or after a new pandemic event.
We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, and expert perspectives that address these topics and help define the future of anesthesia and intensive care.
Dr. Gabriele Melegari
Guest Editor
