This two-volume book offers a comprehensive guide to anesthetic and critical care management in neurosurgical and neurological patients. This first volume focuses on neuroanesthesia.
The book begins with basic information on neuroanesthesia, extensively discussing the anatomy of the brain and spine, physiology, and relevant pharmacology. Special considerations for pregnant, pediatric, and geriatric patients are covered in separate chapters. Each neurosurgical condition is discussed in a standard format relevant to neurosurgical patients, and each chapter, prepared by experts in the field, includes ample illustrations and flowcharts. Information is also provided on the latest evidence-based approaches, robotic surgery, and gene therapy.
The book offers a valuable resource for all residents, fellows, and trainees in neuroanesthesia and anesthesia; it will also benefit practitioners and consultants.
