Signa Vitae

Aims & Scope

Signa Vitae ( SV ) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal whose Latin name means “Signs of Life.” It serves as an unbiased and permanent forum for Emergency Medicine, Intensive Care Medicine, Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, dedicated to the recognition, monitoring, intervention, nursing, and improvement of vital signs. The journal places particular emphasis on acute conditions requiring immediate intervention to stabilize vital signs, as well as various traumas and injuries; critical conditions; anesthetic techniques, pharmacological agents, monitoring, perioperative management and associated complications; and multimodal assessment and treatment of pain (with emphasis on acute/critical/perioperative pain, while also covering severe chronic pain). The journal welcomes submissions of research closely related to the above fields, including risk factors, etiology, pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms of diseases, prognostic assessment and outcome improvement, disease management, healthcare professionals’ well-being (e.g., psychological stress, burnout, etc.), facilities and equipment, education and training (including simulation), and others—especially manuscripts with practical impact on patient vital sign stabilization, clinical practice, or medical care quality.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
