Anästhesiologie & Intensivmedizin (A&I) is currently the journal with the highest circulation within the German market covering the topics of anaesthesia, emergency medicine, intensive care medicine and pain therapy. It informs the professional medical community including surgeons of all disciplines, paediatricians and any other disciplines interested in the subject. The Journal offers monthly issues (combined issue for July/August) about current topics within the four pillars of anaesthesiology (anaesthesia, intensive care, emergency medicine and pain therapy). The coverage of the journal is of high value in daily practice as well as in research and a means by which individuals may inform their colleagues of their research and experience.
The journal acts as the official organ for the German Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (DGAI) and the Professional Association of German Anaesthesiologists (BDA). It is therefore a must-have and essential read for executive staff as well as decision makers in anaesthesia departments of hospitals as well as within ambulatory practices.
