Management of physiological variables in neuroanaesthesia: maintaining homeostasis during intracranial surgery

Abstract

From the clinical point of view, the recent research has added only little to the knowledge on the management of physiological parameters in neurosurgery. More adequately powered studies focusing in specific problems, and having a meaningful aim relative to outcome, are needed also in neuroanaesthesia.

Cerebral hyperaemia after isoflurane anaesthesia for craniotomy of patients with supratentorial brain tumour

“…The understanding of cerebral haemodynamics during intracranial tumour resection has increased dramatically in the past decades . However, few studies have investigated changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) right after surgery.…”
