Digital solutions in anesthesiology and intensive care: an analysis of trends in Russian scientific discourse
https://doi.org/10.24884/1607-4181-2025-32-4-11-18
Abstract
Introduction. This article presents an analytical review of scientific publications by Russian authors over the past ten-year period from 2015 to 2024, reflecting the processes of digital transformation of anesthesiology and intensive care services in Russian medical institutions.
The objective was to systematize and critically comprehend the main directions, outcomes and limitations of domestic research in the field of digitalization of the anesthesiology and intensive care services and to identify key trends, knowledge gaps and promising vectors of further development.
Methods and materials. The main keywords and their combinations were used to search for publications in the Russian electronic scientific library eLibrary for the period from 2015 to 2024.
Results. The analysis of publications is intended not only to describe the current state and dynamics of digital technology development in anesthesiology and intensive care in Russia, but also to highlight the most significant scientific and practical foundations, as well as potential bottlenecks and barriers to scaling up successful solutions.
Conclusions. The absence of a comprehensive synthesis of Russian research on the digitalization of anesthesiology and intensive care services limits the ability to develop coordinated development strategies, set priorities for science and technology policy, and inform governmental decision‑making in the field of medical informatics and artificial intelligence technologies in anesthesiology and critical care medicine.
