Anesthesiology (anesthesiology)
Journal positioning
Anesthesiology is the flagship journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), publishing clinical and translational research across anesthesiology, perioperative medicine, pain medicine, and critical care — anesthetic pharmacology and mechanism, perioperative outcomes, patient safety, regional and pain management, and peri-operative organ protection. Its defining expectation is a rigorous, clinically meaningful advance in perioperative or anesthetic care, or a mechanistic insight into anesthetic action and perioperative physiology, not an underpowered single-center trial, a descriptive case series, or a basic experiment with no perioperative anchor. The journal places strong emphasis on rigorous perioperative-trial reporting — prespecified outcomes, registration, and analysis matched to design. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live Anesthesiology author instructions.
When to trigger
- The author names Anesthesiology for an anesthesiology, perioperative, pain, or anesthesia-related critical-care study and wants a fit/framing check.
- A perioperative study must be re-framed around a patient-centered perioperative outcome or an anesthetic-mechanism question.
- The author is choosing between Anesthesiology, a surgical journal, and a critical-care or pain-specialty venue.
- The author needs the journal's perioperative-trial reporting, registration, and translational-study expectations.
Scope & topic fit
- Perioperative clinical trials and outcomes: anesthetic technique, hemodynamic management, and postoperative complications/mortality.
- Anesthetic pharmacology and mechanism: drug action, depth-of-anesthesia, and neurophysiology of consciousness and analgesia.
- Patient safety, monitoring, and quality in the perioperative period.
- Regional anesthesia, acute and chronic pain medicine, and analgesic outcome studies.
- Perioperative organ protection and critical care related to surgery and anesthesia.
- Translational and animal studies of anesthetic mechanism, neurotoxicity, or organ injury with perioperative relevance.
Method & evidence bar
- Perioperative trials must be adequately powered with prespecified, patient-centered outcomes; trials require prospective registration and the registration number, with protocol/SAP and analysis matched to design.
- The applicable reporting guideline and checklist are expected: CONSORT for trials, STROBE for observational work, PRISMA for systematic reviews, ARRIVE for animal studies.
- Composite and surrogate perioperative endpoints need justification; multiplicity and subgroup analyses must be prespecified and handled appropriately.
- Observational perioperative analyses must address confounding by indication, selection and immortal-time bias, and missing data; causal language must match the design.
- Translational/animal anesthetic studies need controls, blinding/randomization, replication, and dosing/model validation anchored to perioperative relevance.
- Effect estimates need confidence intervals and absolute as well as relative measures.
Structure & house style
- ASA format with a structured abstract and an editor's/clinical-context or "what we know / what this adds" statement; re-check current article types (Clinical Science, Perioperative Medicine, etc.) and limits on the live guide.
- The introduction frames the perioperative or mechanistic gap; the discussion states the perioperative-care implication and bounds overreach.
- A CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA flow diagram is expected for the relevant design; animal work reports ARRIVE-aligned detail.
- Tables/figures follow the journal's statistical-reporting standards; a supplement carries the protocol/SAP, full statistical methods, and additional analyses.
Official-submission checklist
- Before giving submission-ready advice, read
../../resources/source-basis.mdand../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the ICMJE/EQUATOR and ASA anchors, then cite the current Anesthesiology page you checked. - Search the live site for "Anesthesiology ASA instructions for authors" and follow the current version.
- Re-check article types, abstract and clinical-context format, and word/figure/reference limits.
- Confirm trial registration, the reporting checklist (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA/ARRIVE), data/code-availability, and protocol/SAP submission with prespecified analysis.
- Re-check IRB/ethics and consent, animal-care/IACUC approval, ICMJE authorship and conflict-of-interest disclosure, funding, and AI-use disclosure.
- If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.
Pre-submission self-check
- The study delivers a clinically meaningful perioperative advance or an anesthetic-mechanism insight.
- Perioperative outcomes are prespecified and powered; trials are registered with the number and SAP.
- The correct reporting checklist (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA/ARRIVE) is completed and attached.
- Multiplicity, subgroups, and composite/surrogate endpoints are prespecified and justified.
- Observational analyses address confounding by indication and immortal-time/selection bias.
- IRB/consent, IACUC (if animal), ICMJE disclosures, and a data-availability statement are prepared.
Common desk-reject triggers
- Underpowered single-center perioperative trial with no prespecified analysis or registration.
- Observational analyses with confounding by indication and overstated causal claims.
- Surrogate/depth-of-anesthesia endpoints presented as clinically definitive without patient outcomes.
- Missing trial registration, protocol/SAP, or the required reporting checklist.
- Pure surgical-technique or pure basic-neuroscience work with no perioperative/anesthetic anchor.
Re-routing decision
- Surgical technique or operative outcome is the primary contribution →
jama-surgery. - Anesthesia-related ICU/organ-support dominant over perioperative care →
critical-care-medicine. - Respiratory/ventilation mechanism dominant →
american-journal-of-respiratory-and-critical-care-medicine. - Obstetric anesthesia centered on maternal/fetal outcomes →
american-journal-of-obstetrics-and-gynecology. - Broad practice-changing perioperative trial → general medicine (
jama/ NEJM / The Lancet in the natural-science bundle).
