To the surgeon, this situation is typi fi ed by an operative fi eld that is rapidly fi lling with blood, often with the ultimate source of hemorrhage not readily identi fi ed. Coupled with the sudden and unexpected nature of the event, an IAR can create great stress for the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. In a survey of neurovascular surgeons, IAR was identi fi ed as one of the major technical challenges to aneurysm clipping. 1 Despite the advancement of endovascular techniques, microsurgical clipping performed via a craniotomy remains indicated for a variety of reasons, such as for patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with mass effect, cranial nerve palsies due to compression by the aneurysm, wide-necked bifurcation or irre-gularly-shaped aneurysms, and ones that have failed endovascular treatment. 2 As microsurgical clipping becomes reserved for more complex indications, the risk of IAR is likely to remain signi fi cant. In the event of IAR, the anesthesiologist plays a critical role, not only in providing adequate resuscitation but also in facilitating the surgeon ’ s visualization and treatment of the bleeding aneurysm. This narrative review focuses on anesthesia techniques that can aid the surgeon in the management of ruptured aneurysms, namely induced hypotension with either adenosine or rapid ventricular pacing (RVP). In addition to the incidence and risk factors for IAR, this review speci fi cally aims to present the management of IAR from the surgeon ’ s","PeriodicalId":46852,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL ANESTHESIOLOGY CLINICS","volume":"61 3","pages":"64-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10074401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This enables them to personalize interventions by understanding the patient-speci fi c pathophysiology that can translate insights from cognitive neuroscience into targeted therapies for various disorders. 2 Neurostimulators can be intracranial [deep brain stimulation (DBS)], neuraxial [spinal cord stimulation (SCS), sacral nerve stimulators], or peripheral (vagal nerve trigeminal nerve or other peripheral nerve stimulation). The number of patients using neurostimulators is growing rapidly, making it imperative for anesthesiologists to understand these devices and their potential interactions with other medical equipment. 3 The literature on perioperative management of patients with neurostimulators is scarce, and most of the information comes from case reports and manufacturer recommendations. In this review, we provide an overview of various neurostimulators, general considerations, and recommendations regarding the perioperative management of these patients for speci fi c surgeries.","PeriodicalId":46852,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL ANESTHESIOLOGY CLINICS","volume":"61 3","pages":"13-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10429526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both surgery and anesthesia increases the risk of neurological sequelae due to ischemia, hemorrhage, hypoxia, or metabolic disorder (Table 1). The impact can be devastating, leading to morbidity, increased length of stay, impaired quality of life, and mortality. During anesthesia, there is no standard monitoring for the neurological system compared with other organs (eg, electrocardiograph and blood pressure for the cardiovascular system, pulse oximetry, and capnography for the respiratory system). When patients present with neurological signs and symptoms perioperatively, early assessment and imaging is needed to facilitate prompt diagnosis and management. This article will provide an overview of common neurological complications in the perioperative period. To cover details of all neurological emergencies will be beyond the scope of this article. We will focus on common emergencies in general surgery with a brief discussion of neurological complications in specific surgical populations. The common presentation of these complications will be explored, followed by the diagnosis and management of these pathologies.","PeriodicalId":46852,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL ANESTHESIOLOGY CLINICS","volume":"61 3","pages":"53-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10429524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
