2020 Annual Report of JECCM

Greetings from the Editorial Office of JECCM!

We are pleased to share the 2020 Annual Report of Journal of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine here.

We would especially like to express our sincere gratitude to the editorial board members, guest editors, reviewers, authors and readers for all your support in this unprecedented year of 2020. And we wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2021!

Recent Advances in Critical Emergency Medicine: From Pathophysiology to Clinical Practice

The principle motivation of this special series is to expand the role of physicians into the state-of-the-art Critical Emergency Medicine and improve the care of patients in the first minutes to hours of their critical illness. I also believe that it will stimulate high-quality research that will further improve the in-hospital management and resuscitation of extremely critically ill patients.

AME entered an official partnership with Publons to enhance wide-ranging recognition for reviewers

AME Publishing Company entered an official partnership with Publons, a product of Clarivate Analytic Company (which owns Web of Science, EndNote, ScholarOne, among many others), as of April 2020. Around 60 AME journals’ peer review systems are now integrated seamlessly into the Publons platform (https://publons.com/about/home). The partnership was done to recognize our expert peer reviewers spontaneously for their review contribution.

Implementation of transparent peer review at Journal of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine (JECCM)

With a commitment to openness and accountability, and to increase the level of transparency throughout our peer review process, our editorial office has decided to implement a transparent peer review process as an option for all manuscripts submitted to JECCM from March 19, 2020.

Special Problems in Perioperative Critical Care

In the current Focus Issue of the Journal of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine our aim was to invite some of the leading researchers in the field of applied physiology in perioperative medicine. We are covering issues starting from defining the high-risk patient, down to the deep secrets of the mitochondria. Applying a physiology- and also the evidence-based approach at the bedside is not the exclusive privilege of researchers but should be the duty of every physician in the future.

Performance Improvement in Critical Care Nursing to Improve Outcomes

This focused issue on “Performance Improvement in Critical Care Nursing to Improve Outcomes” is edited by Dr. Jami Zipf, Director Trauma Services, Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, Johnstown, PA, USA.

Application of the CARE Guideline as reporting standard in the Journal of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine

The Journal of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine welcomes case reports which are supposed to report new observations of diseases, clinical findings or novel/unique treatment outcomes relevant to practitioners in the fields of medicine.

For completeness and transparency for published case reports, the Journal of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine will apply the CARE guidelines (1) as reporting standards for case reports starting from October 14, 2019.

Critical Ultrasound

Critical Care Ultrasounds (CCUS) has now been recognized as an essential part of critical care practice. CCUS is best defined as the ultrasound procedures performed at bedside by intensivists for diagnostic procedures as well as for guidance of therapeutic management and invasive procedures. CCUS applications have been described in depth in several consensus and review papers. It includes (non-exhaustive list) echocardiography, lung ultrasounds, abdominal ultrasounds, vascular ultrasounds, and cerebral ultrasounds.

Infections in ICU

The fight against infections in the ICU, especially against MDR/XDRs, include the in-depth understanding of their pathogenicity, resistance mechanisms and interactions with the host, the evidence-based administration of antibiotics (early, adequately, appropriately) and non-antibiotic approaches
