Journal of Acute Care Surgery

Aims & Scope

JACS aims to provide a platform for modern, cutting-edge research at the forefront of acute care surgery in the Asia-Pacific region, with a focus on three essential components: trauma, critical care, and emergency surgery. It also seeks to promote the enhancement and optimization of patient care through rigorous discussion and clarification of key issues in acute care surgery and trauma nursing. This includes evaluating the outcomes of current medical and nursing practices, implementing new procedures, and exploring innovative treatment concepts. The scope of JACS includes surgical treatment and clinical outcomes, perioperative patient care and rehabilitation, system organization for trauma and acute care surgery, surgical infections, nutrition, wound care techniques, military and major incident surgery, scientific laboratory research, surgical ethics, trauma nursing, multidisciplinary team approaches, and quality improvement initiatives. JACS primarily focuses on advancing the field of acute care surgery, including trauma, non-traumatic emergency surgery, surgical critical care, and trauma nursing. JACS primarily focuses on the Asia-Pacific region but welcomes submissions from researchers worldwide.
