Aims & Scope✦ Compiled from public sources

Anaesthesia and Intensive Care is an international journal that publishes articles related to anaesthesia, perioperative and pain medicine, and intensive care. It covers topics such as the measurement of skin temperature as an indicator of sympathetic blockade induced by neuraxial anaesthesia, and the skin temperature response to epidural administration of bupivacaine and ropivacaine. The journal also includes discussions in intensive medicine disciplines and aims to bridge the gap between inpatient studies and disciplines like obesity and internal medicine.
