Fundamentals of Neuroanesthesia: A Physiologic Approach to Clinical Practice [Hardcover]

Fundamentals of Neuroanesthesia is a comprehensive guide to neuroanesthesia which focuses neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neurosurgical procedures, and then offers practical approaches to the practice of neurosurgical anesthesia.Neurosurgical procedures are becoming more common and are taking place in the operating room and in interventional suites. Procedures that used to be performed only at major academic institutions are also being done in small community hospitals, and anesthesiologists in private practice are being asked to care for these patients. In many cases, treatment options are controversial or rapidly evolving. Close cooperation between the anesthesiologist and neurosurgeon is essential to achieve optimal outcomes and early recognition of any adverse events so appropriate therapy can be implemented. Fundamentals of Neuroanesthesia is a comprehensive guide to neuroanesthesia that discusses neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neurosurgical procedures and offers practical approaches and solutions to administering neuroanesthesia and providing perioperative care for neurosurgical patients. Chapters emphasize clinical management of neurosurgical problems that may be encountered in community practice as well as major academic medical centers. Highlighted key points, figures, algorithms, and management procedures supplement the text. This book is a must-have volume for general anesthesiologists, anesthesiology fellows, and subspecialists.1. Central Nervous System Anatomy2. Therapeutic Control of Brain Volume and Blood Flow3.
