Anesthesia is the foundation every surgical outcome is built on — where pharmacology, physiology, and split-second clinical judgment converge to keep patients safe through their most vulnerable moments. Kmed Journal of Anesthesia is built for anesthesiologists, intensivists, and perioperative researchers who are doing work that quietly underpins every operation performed.

We publish original research, case reports, systematic reviews, and clinical observations across the full spectrum of anesthesia and perioperative medicine — from airway management innovations and regional anesthesia techniques to pain science and critical care. Every submission undergoes rigorous peer review, and every published article is freely accessible to the global medical community.

Scope & Focus Areas

We welcome submissions across all dimensions of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, including:

• General & Regional Anesthesia — techniques, agents, outcomes, and comparative efficacy across surgical settings
• Airway Management — difficult airway algorithms, intubation strategies, supraglottic devices, and airway rescue
• Obstetric Anesthesia — epidural analgesia, spinal anesthesia for cesarean section, and maternal safety
• Paediatric Anesthesia — age-specific pharmacology, induction strategies, and neonatal perioperative care
• Neuroanesthesia — brain protection, ICP management, and anesthesia for neurosurgical procedures
• Cardiac & Thoracic Anesthesia — anesthesia for cardiac surgery, one-lung ventilation, and hemodynamic management
• Pain Medicine & Acute Pain Management — multimodal analgesia, postoperative pain, nerve blocks, and opioid stewardship
• Critical Care & ICU Medicine — mechanical ventilation, sedation protocols, and anesthesia in the critically ill
• Patient Safety & Quality Improvement — adverse events, near-misses, checklists, and perioperative mortality
• Anesthetic Pharmacology — inhalational agents, intravenous drugs, neuromuscular blockade, and drug interactions

Why Publish With Us

Open Access Your research reaches every anesthesiologist, intensivist, and perioperative clinician — without paywalls. Published articles are freely available worldwide from the date of publication.

Peer Review You Can Trust Every manuscript is reviewed by subject-matter experts in anesthesiology and perioperative medicine. We are committed to scientific rigor, not volume.

Fast Turnaround Initial editorial decision within 21 days. We respect your time and your research timeline.

Author-Centered Process Dedicated editorial support from submission to publication. No navigating automated systems alone.

Indexed & Discoverable Published articles are optimized for discoverability, ensuring your work reaches the audience it deserves.

Who Should Submit

Kmed Journal of Anesthesia is the right home for your work if you are a:

• Postgraduate resident or DA/MD student with a case report, clinical audit, or observational study in anesthesia or critical care
• Anesthesiologist or intensivist with original research or practice-defining perioperative findings
• Pain medicine specialist or regional anesthesia practitioner with clinical or procedural research
• Faculty member or HOD looking to build your department's research output

If your work contributes to how anesthesia is delivered, monitored, optimized, or made safer — this journal is for you.
