Signa Vitae (SV) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal whose Latin name means “Signs of Life.” It is dedicated to providing an unbiased and permanent academic communication platform in fields related to the recognition, monitoring, intervention, nursing, and improvement of vital signs.


Topics include but are not limited to:

• Acute conditions requiring immediate intervention to stabilize vital signs (e.g., various sudden-onset acute diseases and acute exacerbations of chronic conditions, such as acute decompensated heart failure, acute exacerbation of COPD, diabetic emergencies, acute kidney injury, acute poisoning, acute abdomen, and others), as well as various traumas and injuries, major public health incidents, and disasters;


• Life-threatening critical states (e.g., septic shock, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, severe trauma, cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, and similar conditions);


• Anesthetic techniques, pharmacological agents, monitoring, perioperative management, and associated complications;


• Pain assessment, therapeutic strategies, underlying mechanisms, and multimodal pain management, with particular emphasis on acute, critical care, and perioperative settings, while also encompassing severe chronic pain that substantially impair patients’ quality of life and functional outcomes.


In addition, submissions of research addressing risk factors, etiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, prognostic assessment, strategies for improving outcomes, and disease management related to these conditions are also encouraged.
