Welcome to the Journal of Nurse Anesthesiology & Perioperative Practice

The Journal of Nurse Anesthesiology & Perioperative Practice was founded on the belief that valuable scholarship extends beyond traditional research and comes from clinicians closest to the patients. We provide a rigorous scholarly home for high-quality case reports, case series, clinical observation reports, evidence-based practice projects, quality improvement initiatives, scoping reviews, human factors and patient safety reports, perioperative innovations, and thoughtful perspectives on emerging issues facing our professions. The emphasis is always on work that is scientifically sound, clinically applicable, and capable of improving patient care.

Our mission is to improve patient care by publishing work that informs clinical practice, stimulates thoughtful discussion, and advances the science, education, safety, and delivery of anesthesia and perioperative care. We believe the most impactful scholarship begins with the questions clinicians ask every day at the bedside, in the operating room, and across the perioperative continuum.

Modern perioperative care is fundamentally interdisciplinary, and so is JNAPP. We enthusiastically welcome submissions from certified registered nurse anesthetists, student registered nurse anesthetists, perioperative and perianesthesia nurses, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, perfusionists, neuroscience/neuromonitoring specalists, engineers, quality and safety professionals, educators, researchers, and healthcare leaders. We believe that the best ideas emerge through collaboration across disciplines, specialties, and practice settings.

Beyond publishing scholarship, JNAPP strives to serve as a forum for collaboration, mentorship, and professional dialogue. We seek manuscripts that not only report findings, but also challenge assumptions, share practical lessons, identify emerging trends, and inspire innovation. Whether exploring a rare clinical scenario, translating evidence into practice, improving systems of care, or examining the human factors that shape perioperative safety, our goal is to foster meaningful conversations that advance the profession.

We are excited to launch this journal and invite you to become part of its community of authors, reviewers, and readers. Together, we can build a trusted source of clinically meaningful scholarship that elevates perioperative practice and ultimately improves the care of patients around the world.
