HEART & LUNG

心肺：美国心衰护士协会的官方出版物《急性和危重病护理杂志》，介绍了有关急性和危重病患者以及慢性心脏或肺疾病患者护理的技术、进展、调查和观察的原始同行评审文章。该杂志的急症护理文章重点关注住院患者的护理，包括那些在危重和急症护理环境中的患者。因为大多数在急症和重症监护室住院的患者都有慢性病，我们也对慢性危重病、慢性心肺疾病患者的护理、他们的康复和疾病预防感兴趣。《心脏衰竭杂志》的文章集中讨论了该病患者护理的各个方面。受欢迎的手稿与人类寿命中的人口有关。我们有兴趣在各种环境下发表代表广泛科学和临床实践的文章，因为它与我们的目标人群有关。由于卫生保健和卫生科学是全球性的、跨学科的、跨学科的和跨学科的，我们鼓励作者提交反映这些观点的手稿。许多文章也为护士在临床实践中应用研究成果提供了框架。我们出版原始研究、病例报告、评论和观察，这些都是科学和临床实践的前沿。关于护理成本、患者教育和健康政策的讨论与我们的重点有关。特别欢迎设计良好的临床试验报告和系统回顾。

Heart & Lung: The Journal of Acute and Critical Care, the official publication of The American Association of Heart Failure Nurses, presents original, peer-reviewed articles on techniques, advances, investigations, and observations related to the care of patients with acute and critical illness and patients with chronic cardiac or pulmonary disorders.The Journal''s acute care articles focus on the care of hospitalized patients, including those in the critical and acute care settings. Because most patients who are hospitalized in acute and critical care settings have chronic conditions, we are also interested in the chronically critically ill, the care of patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders, their rehabilitation, and disease prevention. The Journal''s heart failure articles focus on all aspects of the care of patients with this condition. Manuscripts that are relevant to populations across the human lifespan are welcome.We are interested in publishing articles representing a broad range of science and clinical practice in a variety of settings as it pertains to our target population. Because health care and the health sciences are global, interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary, we encourage authors to submit manuscripts that reflect these perspectives. Many articles also provide nurses with a framework for applying research results in clinical practice.We publish original research, case reports, reviews, and observations that are on the cutting edge of science and clinical practice. Discussions of costs of care, patient education, and health policy are relevant to our focus. Reports of well-designed clinical trials and systematic reviews are especially welcome.
