Call for papers - Perioperative hemodynamic monitoring and management

Guest Editors:
Aalap Shah: Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine, UCI Health, USA
Guo-wei Tu: Cardiac Intensive Care Center, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, China
Kanhua Yin: Department of Surgery, Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, USA

Submission Status: Open   |   Submission Deadline: 6 February 2024


In recent years, perioperative hemodynamic monitoring techniques have made great strides as the accelerating introduction of noninvasive monitoring instruments such as critical care ultrasound. As performing standardized hemodynamic monitoring is a significant routine for clinicians with respective specialties in intensive care unit, these strides enable them to produce better hemodynamic status observation, then provide timely while targeted interventions, and thereby improve patient prognosis. Furthermore, the concept of resuscitation has also undergone a radical transformation, changing from a cardiac output-centered strategy into a perfusion-driven strategy. 

To  discuss the core issues of perioperative hemodynamic monitoring and invite the clinicians and researchers globally to contribute their latest discoveries and reflections to help advance our understanding of this important topic, we have decided to launch a BMC Anesthesiology collection, “Perioperative Hemodynamic Monitoring and Management”. We hope to take this opportunity to introduce the latest advances in perioperative hemodynamic monitoring in recent years and better inform the clinical practice.

Aalap Shah: Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine, UCI Health, USA

Dr. Shah is a general and pediatric anesthesiologist with a specific academic focus in the use of clinical informatics, digital health, and continuous quality improvement tools to improve perioperative outcomes for our patients and optimizing provider workflows. He is also interested in identifying and bridging gaps in best practices delivered to his patients between academic and community healthcare settings.

Guo-wei Tu: Cardiac Intensive Care Center, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China

Dr. Guo-Wei Tu received his MD Degree in Medicine at Fudan University, China. He is a Professor at the cardiac surgery intensive care unit of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, China. In 2016, he was awarded with the Chinese Young Investigator Award for his research in critical care medicine. Dr Tu was awarded as Excellent Academic Leader of Shanghai and Top Young Talent of Shanghai in 2020. He has published more than 60 articles in SCI-indexed journals and serves as guest editor and editorial board member of many scientific journals including BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, Cardiology Research and Practice et al.

Kanhua Yin: Department of Surgery, Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, USA

Dr. Kanhua Yin is currently a surgery resident at Washington University in St. Louis. He received training in both clinical medicine and public health and has a long-standing interest in clinical outcomes research, particularly cardiovascular surgery, perioperative care, surgical oncology, and clinical informatics. Dr. Yin has published over 80 peer-reviewed articles, and his work has been included in multiple national and international clinical guidelines.

To further discuss the core issues of perioperative hemodynamic monitoring and invite the clinicians and researchers globally to contribute their latest discoveries and reflections to help advance our understanding of this important topic, we have decided to launch a BMC Anesthesiology collection, “Perioperative Hemodynamic Monitoring and Management”. We hope to take this opportunity to introduce the latest advances in perioperative hemodynamic monitoring in recent years and better inform the clinical practice.

We invite submissions from all aspects of this developing field including, but not limited to:

This Collection welcomes submission of Research Articles. Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure you have read our submission guidelines. Articles for this Collection should be submitted via our submission system, Snapp. During the submission process you will be asked whether you are submitting to a Collection, please select ["Perioperative Hemodynamic Monitoring and Management"] from the dropdown menu.

Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all of the journal’s standard policies. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.

The Guest Editors have no competing interests with the submissions which they handle through the peer review process. The peer review of any submissions for which the Guest Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.
