About the journal
No other journal can match Anesthesia & Analgesia for its original and significant contributions to the field. The journal is fully committed to responding to the changing nature of the specialty. Because no one practitioner can provide anesthesia, pain control and critical care for all types of surgery now in practice, the journal has commissioned leading scientist-editors to guide nine major subspecialty departments. Internationally, the journal is positioned to cover all important advances in basic and clinical anesthesiology--wherever they occur. CD-ROM Available!
Instructions to Authors
Anesthesia & Analgesia is the oldest publication for the specialty of anesthesiology and the official voice of the International Anesthesia Research Society, the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia, the Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia, the International Society for Anaesthetic Pharmacology, and the Society for Technology in Anesthesia. Submissions will, when possible, be assigned to one of the subspecialty sections (Ambulatory Anesthesia, Anesthetic Pharmacology, Cardiovascular Anesthesia, Critical Care and Trauma, Economics and Health Systems Research, Neurosurgical Anesthesia, Obstetric Anesthesia, Pediatric Anesthesia, Regional Anesthesia, Pain Medicine, and Technology, Computing and Simulation).
Acceptance of manuscripts submitted to A&A is based on significance, originality, and validity of the material presented. Types of submissions accepted include the following:
- General articles describe clinical or laboratory investigations.
- Case reports describe either new and instructive cases, anesthetic techniques and equipment of demonstrable originality, usefulness, and safety, or new information on diseases of importance to anesthesia.
- Brief reports describe clinical or laboratory investigations that do not require the breadth of experimentation or support by a general investigative article.
- Technical communications describe instrumentation and analytic techniques.
- Review articles collate, describe, and evaluate previously published material to aid in evaluating new concepts.
- Medical intelligence articles usually collate, describe, and evaluate previously published material to aid in evaluating new concepts or updating old concepts or topics germane to anesthesiology.
- Special articles describe literature, education, societies, and other topics interests of a historical or current trend in anesthesiology.
- Editorials (solicated by the Editorial Board) comment on articles published in the journal and/or express the general policies or opinions of the Editor-in-Chief.
- Book and multimedia for review directly to Norig Ellison, MD, Book Review Editor, Department of Anesthesia, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104.
- Letters to the editor include brief constructive comments concerning previously published articles or brief notations of general interest. The manuscripts must be double-spaced, and a title and three copies must be provided. NB: Letters may be submitted online at aaeditor@pacbell.net. Letters submitted electronically must include the author's mailing address as well as an e-mail address.
Manuscript Preparation and Submission
Manuscripts must be prepared and submitted in the manner described in "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals," (reprinted in The New England Journal of Medicine 1991;324:424-8 and available at several web sites, including http://www.icmje.org/.
Manuscripts should be submitted online by going to www.rapidreview.com, click on "New to Rapid Review" to create an author account. (Rapid Review may also be accessed through links on the IARS web site (www.iars.org) or the journal's online site (www.anesthesia-analgesia.org).
- Authorship and Copyright: The manuscript cover letter must stipulate that all persons listed as authors have contributed to preparing the manuscript, and that no person or persons other than the authors listed have contributed significantly to its preparation. The intent of this requirement is to forestall the participation of outside parties ("ghost writers") who may stand to benefit by attempting to influence the content of a study or its results. Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of articles accepted for publication to the International Anesthesia Research Society.
- When appropriate, authors should specify the subspecialty section for which their submission is intended (e.g., Cardiovascular, Ambulatory, Critical Care, etc. see above).
- A Copyright Transfer form, signed by all authors, may be faxed or mailed to the Editorial Office at the time of submission. The form can be downloaded from the journal's website at http://www.anesthesia-analgesia.org/misc/ifora.shtml

Data Supplements
Providing supplementary materials for online publication is a way of elaborating or clarifying parts of a manuscript with materials which, if included in the main body of the text, might be considered superfluous or too specialized. Examples included video loops, additional tables, figures, appendices or raw investigatory data which would be too voluminous to be published in print.
Video loops, such as "Echocardiography On-Line," may be submitted to the Editorial Office on zip disk, CD-ROM, or via e-mail (aaeditor@pacbell.net). Videos should be submitted in widely implemented standard formats such as MPEG (.mpg, .mpeg) and Quick Time (.qt, .mov). File names must contain the appropriate extension. Audio should be in standard .AU or Real-Audio (.ra, .ram) formats. All videos should be submitted at the desired reproduction size and length and should include a brief descriptive legend. To avoid excessive delays in downloading files, videos should be no more than 2.5 MB in size, run between 15-25 seconds in length, and should be compressed. Frames and image sizes should also be cropped whenever possible to reduce file sizes. Files can be looped to play more than once, provided file sizes do not exceed the above specifications. Patient identifiers must be removed from all submissions.
Supplements will be considered as part of the submitted manuscript and should be submitted in a form that facilitates ease of review.
Manuscript Preparation
Document files should be prepared in "standard US Paper" size vs "Custom paper" size ("A-4"). Manuscripts should be double or triple spaced (to allow room for editing) throughout, including references and table and figure legends.
By inserting a manual page break, begin each of the following sections on separate pages; title page, abstract and key words, text, acknowledgments, references, tables), and legends. (Each table, complete with title and footnotes, should be on a separate page). Number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page.
Submitted manuscripts should be accompanied by the cover letter, and by letters granting permission to reproduce previously published materials or to use illustrations that may identify subjects.
Human Subjects
No manuscripts describing investigations performed in humans will be accepted for publication unless the text states that the study was approved by the authors' institutional human investigation committee and that written informed consent was obtained from all subjects or, in the case of minors, from parents. This statement should appear at the beginning of the Methods section. Human subjects should not be identifiable. Do not use patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers.
Animal Subjects
No manuscripts describing investigations in aninals will be accepted for publication unless the text states that the study was approved by the authors' institutional animal investigation committee. This statement should appear at the beginning of the Methods section.
Authors should keep copies of everything submitted and all correspondence from the editorial office and its board members. No submitted materials (manuscripts, figures or tables) will be returned to the authors.
Title Page
- The title page should contain the title of the article, which should be concise but informative;
- A short running head of no more than 40 characters (count letters and spaces) placed at the bottom of the title page and identified;
- First name, middle initial, and last name of each author, with highest academic degree(s) including fellowship and board affiliations; each listed author must (a) have participated in the work to the extent that he or she could publicly defend its contents; (b) have read the manuscript before its submission for publication; and (c) be prepared to sign a statement to the effect that he or she has read the manuscript and agrees with its publication. Additional names of author(s) may not be appended after sending revised manuscript to the journal without written consent from the senior author and approval on a case-by-case basis from the Editor-in-Chief; Name of department(s) and institution(s) to which the work should be attributed;
- Disclaimers, if applicable;
- Name, address, telephone number, FAX number and email address of author responsible for correspondence about the manuscript;
- Name and address of author to whom requests for reprints should be addressed, or a statement that reprints will not be available from the author;
- The source(s) of financial support from foundations, institutions, pharmaceutical, and other private companies in the form of grants and awards.
Abstract and Key Words
- The second page should have an abstract. All articles (except editorials) must include unstructured abstracts consisting of one complete paragraph. Abstracts should be no more than 200 words for all articles, except Case Reports and Brief Reports, which should be 50--100 words.
- The abstract should state the purposes of the study or investigation, basic procedures (study subjects or experimental animals; observational and analytic methods), main findings (give specific data and their statistical significance, if possible), and the principal conclusions. Emphasize new and important aspects of the study or observations.
- Define all abbreviations except those approved by the International System of Units.
- Key (indexing) words. Below the abstract, provide (and identify as such) 3 to 10 key words or short phrases that will assist indexers in cross indexing the article.
Text
- Implication Statement: For all articles except review articles, even when intended for a subspecialty audience, authors must provide a 25- to 50- word description, in language understandable to the lay reader (i.e., a reader who has some understanding of scientific method), of why their study is important and how it was performed. This statement will be published in the Table of Contents.
- The text of observational, experimental, and general articles is usually but not necessarily divided into sections with the following headings: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion.
- Introduction: Clearly state the purpose of the article. Summarize the rationale for the study or observation. Give only strictly pertinent references and do not review the subject extensively.
- Methods: Describe the selection of observational or experimental subjects (patients or experimental animals, including controls) clearly.
- Identify the methods, apparatus (manufacturer's name and address in parentheses), and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results. Give references to established methods, including statistical methods; provide references and brief descriptions for methods that have been published but are not well known; describe new or substantially modified methods, give reasons for using them, and evaluate their limitations.
- Identify precisely all drugs and chemicals used, including generic name(s), dosage(s), and route(s) of administration. In the body of the text, cite the drug or chemical name followed by the generic name in parentheses and refer to the drug throughout the text by its generic name.
- Results: Present the results in logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations. Do not repeat in the text all the data in the tables and/or illustrations; emphasize or summarize only important observations.
- Discussion: Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and conclusions that follow from them. Do not repeat in detail data given in the Results section. Include in the Discussion the implications of the findings and their limitations and relate the observations to other relevant studies. Link the conclusions with goals of the study but avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by the data.
Abbreviations and Units of Measurement
- Units of measurement: Measurements of distance/length and weight must be expressed in metric units only. Clinical laboratory and hematologic data must be expressed in SI units with, if desired, present conventional metric units in parentheses.
- At first mention of terminology in the abstract, text, each figure legend, and each table, spell out in full and follow immediately with the abbreviation (enclosed within parentheses). Continue using abbreviations consistently; do not revert to the spelled-out term.
- Do not synthesize new or unusual abbreviations.
- Consult for the following sources for abbreviations:
- Council of Biology Editors Style Manual Committee. Scientific Style and Format: The CBE manual for authors, editors, and publishers. 6th ed. Bethesda, Maryland: Council of Biology Editors, 1994.
- American Medical Association. Manual of style. 9th ed. Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins, 1998.
References
All references must be available to all readers. Cite only references to books and articles or abstracts published in peer-reviewed Index Medicus journals. Abstracts appearing only in programs of meetings are not acceptable, nor are abstracts more than three years old. (See reference limitations under "General Information" section.)
- Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Double-space between all lines of each reference and between references when typing the reference page.
- Identify references in text, tables, and legends by arabic numerals (in parentheses, on line)
- The titles of journals must be abbreviated according to the style used in Index Medicus.
- References must be verified by the author(s) against the original documents, and the entire list must be checked for nonduplication.
- Use the style of the examples below:

Tables
- Type each table double-spaced on a separate sheet. Do not submit tables as photographs. (See table limitations under General Information section.).
- Number tables consecutively and supply a brief title for each. Give each column a short or abbreviated heading.
- Place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the heading. In footnotes, define all abbreviations that are used in each table. Repeat definition if the abbreviation is used in a subsequent table. For footnotes, use lower-case italicized letters in alphabetical order.
- Do not use internal horizontal or vertical rules.
- Cite each table in the text in consecutive order.
- If data are used from another published (or unpublished) source, submit written permission from both author and publisher and acknowledge fully.
Illustrations
Most computer generated figures are satisfactory for publication but authors should be aware that most figures will be reduced in size and should design their illustrations accordingly. For useful information on preparing digital art, please review the detailed instructions at http://cjs.cadmus.com/da.
- Each figure should be identified by number.
- Color figures may be published at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.
- Figures should be cited in the text in consecutive order. If a figure has been published, acknowledge the original source and submit written permission from both the author and the publisher to reproduce the material. Permission is required, regardless of authorship or publisher, except for documents in the public domain.
- Define all abbreviations used in each illustration. Repeat definition if the abbreviation is used in a subsequent legend.
Submission of Diskettes with Revisions
In addition to the hard copy, authors must submit diskettes or CD's with their REVISED manuscripts. The disk label should specify the manuscript number, the operating system (Windows, (OS)), the word processing software used, and the version numbers of the operating system and software. Authors must ensure that the disk file is the most recent version of the manuscript and that it matches the most recently submitted hard copy.
