Complications in neuroanesthesia
Prabhakar, Hemanshu
Complications in neuroanesthesia - London : Academic Press, 2016 - 1 online resource (xxv, 473 pages):illustrations (some color)
Section I. Complications related to the brain. Brain herniation -- Delayed emergence -- Hydrocephalus -- Normal perfusion pressure breakthrough -- Pneumocephalus -- Seizures -- Brain swelling and tense brain -- Section II. Complications related to spinal cord. Autonomic disturbances -- Pneumorrhachis -- Post-operative paraplegia and quadriplegia -- Spinal shock -- Section III. Complications related to cardiovascular system. Aneurysm / arteriovascular malformation rupture -- Vasospasm -- Electrocardiogram abnormalities -- Hemodynamic instability -- Vascular injuries -- Section IV. Complications related to coagulations. Coagulopathy -- Postoperative hematoma -- Thromboembolism -- Section V. Complications related to respiratory system. Hypercarbia -- Hypoxia -- Neurogenic pulmonary edema -- Section VI. Complications related to airway. Intraoperative increased airway pressure -- Difficult airway - adults -- Difficult airway - pediatrics -- Stridor -- Section VII. Complications related to fluid and electrolyte disturbances. Osmotic demyelination syndromes -- Cerebral salt wasting -- Diabetes insipidus -- Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) -- Section VIII. Postoperative pain. Pain following spine surgery -- Post-craniotomy pain -- Section IX. Miscellaneous. Anaphylaxis -- Hazards of advanced neuromonitoring -- Hypothermia -- Nausea and vomiting -- Peripheral nerve injuries -- Pharmacological complications -- Position related complications -- Postoperative vision loss -- Postoperative cognitive dysfunction -- Trigeminocardiac reflex -- Venous air embolism -- Section X. Clinical scenarios
Complications in Neuroanesthesia focuses on complications that may arise related to neuroanesthesia practice and discusses its various causes. Each complication is written as a separate chapter, and the pathophysiology and mechanisms of each complication, as well as measures for diagnosis, treatment and prevention are discussed. Towards the end of the book, several case scenarios are provided to the readers that challenge readers to diagnose the possible complication for each case. Chapters include brain and spinal cord problems, cardiovascular and hematological problems, and nerve and muscle problems. Written in a standard format, Complications in Neuroanesthesia provides quick and easy access to understanding problems in neuroanesthesia. It provides insight into all possible complications occurring during perioperative management of neurosurgical and neurologic patients. It is useful for trainees, clinicians, and researchers in the fields of neurosurgery, neurocritical care, and neurology by providing an understanding of preventable mishaps that may occur in neurosurgical or neurologic patients.
