Aim & Scope
The Journal of Critical Care Research and Emergency Medicine (ISSN: 3066-7097) aims to serve as a comprehensive and authoritative platform for disseminating high-impact research and clinical insights in the rapidly evolving fields of emergency medicine and critical care. The journal is committed to advancing knowledge and improving the quality of care delivered to patients experiencing acute medical, surgical, or traumatic conditions. By bridging the domains of research and clinical practice, the journal supports innovation, evidence-based treatment, and interdisciplinary collaboration in settings where time-sensitive and life-saving interventions are crucial.
The journal encourages the submission of manuscripts that explore the entire continuum of emergency and critical care, from prehospital triage to in-hospital management and post-acute recovery. It is particularly interested in work that examines complex cases, introduces new methodologies, or evaluates outcomes associated with intensive interventions, resuscitative techniques, diagnostic tools, and emergency protocols.
Scope of the Journal Includes (but is not limited to):
· Emergency Medicine and Prehospital Care: Clinical research on initial patient assessment, trauma triage, transport decisions, emergency room workflows, and paramedicine.
· Intensive Care and Critical Illness Management: Studies related to sepsis, multiorgan dysfunction, respiratory failure, shock states, and critical monitoring.
· Trauma and Acute Surgical Care: Exploration of operative and non-operative trauma strategies, including rapid response surgery and surgical intensive care.
· Neurological Emergencies: Management of stroke, seizures, intracranial hemorrhage, and neurocritical care interventions.
· Cardiovascular and Respiratory Emergencies: Investigations of acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, pulmonary embolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and ventilation strategies.
· Pediatric and Geriatric Emergencies: Research focused on the specific needs, presentations, and outcomes among vulnerable populations such as children and older adults.
· Infectious Disease in Emergency and Critical Settings: Insights into handling emerging infectious threats, hospital-acquired infections, and antimicrobial stewardship in ICUs and emergency units.
· Ethics and Communication in Acute Care: Work addressing ethical dilemmas, end-of-life decision-making, informed consent under emergency conditions, and team-based communication strategies.
· Simulation, Training, and Education: Studies promoting innovative models in clinical training, critical care education, and emergency preparedness exercises.
· Disaster and Mass Casualty Medicine: Protocol development and case experiences related to disaster response, humanitarian crises, and emergency coordination in large-scale public health incidents.
· Technology and Innovation: Evaluation of tools such as point-of-care ultrasound, telemedicine, electronic triage systems, and AI-assisted decision-making in time-sensitive care.
The journal’s inclusive scope embraces a wide range of article types, including original research, systematic reviews, clinical case studies, quality improvement reports, and brief communications. It encourages submissions from multidisciplinary teams and supports research emerging from both high-resource and resource-limited settings.
Through a rigorous peer-review process and a commitment to scholarly excellence, the Journal of Critical Care Research and Emergency Medicine seeks to influence current practice, stimulate research collaborations, and contribute to the global advancement of emergency and critical care services.
