Neuroanaesthesia and neurocritical care
Keyword(s):
This chapter describes the general conduct of anaesthesia for neurosurgery with particular reference to techniques for reducing intracranial pressure, safe positioning, and recognition and management of air embolus. Management for specific common procedures such as shunt surgery, haematomas, traumatic brain injury and pituitary surgery is described. Neurosurgical conditions such as cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations may be managed in neuroradiology and the special considerations for the provision of anaesthesia for these cases are detailed. The principles of management of traumatic brain injury in critical care which aim to reduce secondary brain injury are explained.
