Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review

"Each chapter is well organized. It starts with an introductory paragraph as to what is covered in the chapter; headings and subheadings of topics and explanations, plus images and tables; a Conclusion, and a list of References. The physicians and other experts from the United States and Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands and the three editors named below contributed well-researched and up-to-date material to this book to make it a truly unique and outstanding contribution to the study and practice neuroanesthesia." -Nano Khilnani, Biz India

"It is a well-organized, easy-to-read text that is written specifically for the clinician faced with tough neurosurgical cases. The discussions are clinical, yet well supported by physiology, scientific evidence, and neuroradiology. It is a must read for the general anesthesiologist taking care of neurosurgical patients as well as anesthesia residents and neuroanesthesia fellows." --Anesthesiology
