Essentials of Neuroanesthesia

Essentials of Neuroanesthesia, Second Edition continues to offer valuable insights into the anesthetic management of neurosurgical and neurologic patients, covering all topics related to neuroanesthesia and providing essential knowledge on the brain and spinal cord. The book includes chapters on anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology, along with specific chapters addressing various neurosurgical and neurological problems and their anesthetic management. This updated edition introduces new chapters on artificial intelligence in neurosciences, the role of simulation in clinical neurosciences, robotic neurosurgery, trigeminal neuralgia, coexisting transplanted organs, brain resuscitation after cardiac arrest, and more.

In addition to the foundational knowledge, the book addresses related issues such as the evidence-based practice of neuroanesthesia, sterilization techniques, biostatistics, and ethical issues. It is a valuable resource for trainees, clinicians, and researchers in the fields of neuroanesthesia, neurocritical care, critical care, neurosurgery, and neurology. The comprehensive coverage and updated content make it an indispensable guide for understanding and managing the complexities of neuroanesthesia.
