Anesthesiology and perioperative science: a journal for meeting the unmet medical and scientific needs

Abstract

APS will mainly promote the research and clinical practice of “4B + 4P → 4S”. “4B”: raising questions from Bedside; doing basic research on Bench; applying the research findings back to Bedside, and gaining Better outcomes. Researchers should not come back to bedside from bench with bare hands, but with “4P”: new Products, new Procedures, new Protocols, and new Proof of concept for clinical practice to achieve “better outcome”, namely as “4S”: Save more lives; Save higher quality of life; Satisfy more patients; and Save more medical resources. APS welcomes any papers in all aspects of the research with concept of “4B + 4P → 4S”, especially those reaching the “golden endpoints” and meeting the yet unmet medical needs stated as“4S” as above.
