Case Studies in Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care cover

This book offers a detailed examination of neuroanesthesia through over 90 case studies, aiding preparation for real-life clinical situations and board examinations.

Caring for patients with neurologic diseases in both the operating room and intensive care unit presents numerous challenges. Case Studies in Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care serves as an invaluable resource for physicians, offering guidance on managing a diverse array of clinical situations. This book is particularly beneficial for those preparing for written and oral board examinations, as it delves into the intricate anesthetic considerations and procedures that are essential for the perioperative care of neurosurgical patients.

The complexities of neurosurgery and neuroanesthesiology are well-documented within the pages of Case Studies in Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care. Covering a wide spectrum of cases—from significant spine surgeries to aneurysm clipping and awake craniotomies—this comprehensive text provides a real-world perspective on clinical practice. With over 90 case presentations, each accompanied by focused discussions, the book thoroughly addresses the various procedures and monitoring protocols necessary for effective care of neurosurgical patients, including both preoperative and postoperative considerations.

Illustrated with practical algorithms, useful tables, and examples of neuroimaging, the book is authored by leading experts from the University of Michigan Medical School and the Cleveland Clinic. Their clear and concise case studies not only prepare readers for specific surgical scenarios but also serve as an excellent study aid for board examinations, making Case Studies in Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care a must-have for professionals in the field.

'This textbook is very useful for teaching … we would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anaesthetic trainees and all clinicians involved in neuroanaesthesia or intensive care. It complements traditional neuroanaesthesia textbooks and would be an excellent portable book to dip in and out of during a busy clinical day.' British Journal of Anesthesia
