Abstract:P atients undergoing intracranial surgery are at risk for cerebral ischemia. Therefore, the aim of neuro-anaesthetics is to provide adequate cerebral perfusion during surgery [1]. In patients with increased intracranial pressure (ICP), due to cerebral tumors it is accepted that volatile anaesthetic agents are effective in the protection of cerebral ischemia that may develop due to decrease in systolic arterial pressure (SAP) [2]. Isoflurane's cerebral protection mechanisms include reduction of cerebral metabol… Show more
