General anaesthesia for neurosurgery.
Anaesthesia for neurosurgery, especially intracranial operations, requires conditions which maintain the perfusion of the brain with blood. This perfusion results from the cerebral perfusion pressure: the difference between the arterial and the intracranial pressures. Anaesthesia must also facilitate surgical access by reducing brain volume and minimizing surgical haemorrhage. Other common prob...
متن کاملAnaesthesia for minimally invasive neurosurgery.
Technological advances in imaging, computing and surgical instrumentation have encouraged the application of minimally invasive surgical techniques to various neurosurgical disorders. This chapter discusses the wide application of neurosurgery and the implications for anaesthesia, focusing on the specific anaesthetic considerations for neuroendoscopy, stereotactic procedures and radiosurgery.
متن کاملThiopentone supplemented anaesthesia for neurosurgery.
A technique of anaesthesia for intracranial surgery involving the use of a thiopentone drip as a supplement to nitrous oxide and oxygen was used in 166 patients who were curarized and artificially ventilated. Maintenance of immobility and unconsciousness during the operation was satisfactory. The degree of recovery at the end of operation was acceptable in that nearly 90 per cent were awake and...
متن کاملFetal blood flow during intrathecal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section.
Fetal aortic and umbilical blood flows were studied in 15 mothers before and during spinal (intrathecal) anaesthesia for elective Caesarean section, using a method combining real-time ultrasonography and a pulsed Doppler technique. Spinal anaesthesia with 0.5% bupivacaine hydrochloride 2.5 ml in 8% glucose monohydrate solution was administered after preloading with 2 litre of lactated Ringer's ...
متن کاملComparison of propofol and etomidate anaesthesia for elective electrical cardioversion.
BACKGROUND Propofol has been previously shown to be superior to etomidate during electrical cardioversion (EC) of atrial tachyarrhythmias. However, literature on this topic is scarce and the optimal anaesthetic technique for EC has not yet been firmly established. AIM To compare anaesthetic management with propofol against a mixture of etomidate and low-dose fentanyl for EC. METHODS One hun...
