Περιγραφή
- Reviews the pre-operative and post-operative management
- Discusses the practical concepts of neuroanaethesia
- Facilitates better understanding of the diagnostic aids
- Explores allied specialities such as critical care, neurology and neuroradiology
- Discusses special considerations such as pregnancy, paediatrics and geriatric population, traumatic brain injury, stroke and brain-stem death
This book will provide all the basic details of neuroanaesthesia and how management of different neurosurgical cases may differ. Simple issues such as neurological examination of patient, understanding CT-scan and MRI scans along with anaesthetic management are discussed in simple language, making this book a ready-reckoner. The title provides an insight into all possible aspects of anesthetic management of neurosurgical and commonly encountered neurologic patients. The book also includes chapters related to allied specialities such as critical care, neurology and neuroradiology, making it a complete package.
