Central Nervous System Monitoring in Anesthesia and Intensive Care (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1994)

The book is based on papers presented at the recently held international meeting on central-nervous-system monitoring in Hamburg, Germany. Experts inthe fields of neurophysiology, experimental and clincial anesthesia and intensive care discussed the state of the art in noninvasive central-nervous-system monitoring. Starting with the principles of CNS monitoring in humans, the topics covered include pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic interactions, the usefulness of spontaneous and evoked brain electrical activity as an overall-control for afferent systems andfor the assessment of analgesic drug treatment, perioperative anesthesiological monitoring, and intraoperative awareness. Recently developed specific EEG and EP indices such as spectral edge frequency, median frequency, auditory and somatosensory evoked responses for the assessment of depth of anesthesia are evaluated for intraoperative monitoring. The surgical and anesthesiological perspective in intraoperativemonitoring during vascular surgery are presented, as is the state of theart in the monitoring of afferent central-nervous-system pathways by monitoring transcranial motor evoked potentials. Bispectral EEG analysis forthe assessment of anesthetic adequacy represents the future trend in intraoperative monitoring. In addition to neurophysiological methods, assessment of jugular bulb venous oxygen saturation and transcranial Doppler sonography may give additional information for the interpretation of brain fuction. In the field of intensive care, topics in multimodal long-term monitoring of brain function are presented. The application of an expert system supporting the diagnosis of brain death is also included.
