Abstract
Anaesthetic Considerations in Intracranial Neurosurgical Patients
Rapid developments in the practice of neurosurgery pose significant new challenges for the attending anaesthetist. The neuroanaesthesiologist is faced with the task of modification of various anaesthetic techniques depending on the alterations in the neurophysiologic parameters present in the patient. A close cooperation between the anaesthesiologist and the neurosurgeon is mandatory for successful conduct of the procedure. A thorough preoperative preparation of the patient with careful intraoperative monitoring is required.
