[Boosting the innovation transformation of clinical medicine based on core technology in anesthesiology]

The core technologies proposed in surgery have boosted the innovation transformation and disciplinary development. However, the core technologies in anesthesiology remain undefined both domestically and internationally. Through collaborative discussions among Chinese anesthesiologists, the core technologies of anesthesiology can be succinctly summarized as Relief of pain, Regulation of life, Resuscitation, and Restoration of organ function, and collectively referred to as the 4R technologies. Their primary components include: (1) Technology for sedation, analgesia and muscle relaxation; (2) Technology for the monitoring and regulation of life; (3) Technology for resuscitation and restoration of organ function; (4) Technology for diagnosis and therapy for acute and chronic pain, as well as functional regulation. Up to now, there is still a significant gap between the current situation of anesthesiology and the requirements of core technologic content. Exclusive innovation transformation can remodel the new future of anesthesiology.
