Anesthesia for neurosurgery (Part II)
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The central nervous system 40CNS41 deserves special consideration in the perioperative setting for several reasons for an anesthetist An understanding of neuroanatomy is essential because neuro anesthesia continues to develop and evolution of neurosurgical practice is accompanied by new challenges for the anesthetist Basic knowledge and expertise of the neuroanesthetist can directly influence patient outcome With the recent advancement in functional and minimally invasive procedures there is an increased emphasis on the provision of optimal operative conditions preservation of neurocognitive function minimizing interference with electrophysiological monitoring and a rapid highquality recovery So during neuro anesthesia anesthesiologist needs to know physiology of CNS including cerebral metabolism and cerebral blood flow Neuro anesthesia can be challenging because sometimes apparently contradictory demands must be managed for example achieving optimal conditions for neurophysiological monitoring while maintaining sufficient anesthetic depth or maintaining oxygen delivery to neuronal tissue and simultaneously preventing high blood pressures that might induce local bleeding One of the peculiarities of neuro anesthesia has always been that as much importance is attached to wakening the patient as sending them to sleep We have included the anesthesia for neurosurgery in two parts In the first part we had discussed cerebral anatomy physiology and intracranial pressure in the second part we have included anesthesia considerations for surgery for brain tumor aneurysmal surgery temporal lobe surgery trans sphenoidal surgery and traumatic brain injuryKeywords Anesthesia Neurosurgery
