Thirty multiple-choice questions are based on videos provided at Expert Consult, many of which focus on ultrasound. Covers the use of ultrasound in guiding needle placement in regional anesthesia.

The increased complexity of spinal surgical procedures in recent years has required more sophisticated anesthetic management of patients undergoing these procedures. Spine surgery anesthesia is now recognized as a distinct sub-specialty, increasingly undertaken by general anesthesiologists as well as neuroanesthesiologists. Anesthesia for Spine Surgery describes the anesthetic management and surgical procedures at every vertebral level in both adult and pediatric patients. The most important related considerations are covered, including: * Postoperative pain management * One lung ventilation during anterior thoracic spine surgery * Intraoperative neuromonitoring * Fluid management Additional chapters review the radiological features of normal and abnormal spines, common complications of spine surgery and ASA closed claims relating to spine surgery anesthesia. Written by highly experienced neuroanesthesiologists and spine surgeons, Anesthesia for Spine Surgery is essential reading for trainee and practising anesthesiologists, neuroanesthesiologists and spine surgeons.

The perioperative neuroscience is a specialty that is continuously evolving. This specialty depends on the integration of neuroanaesthesiology, neurology, neurointensive care, neuroradiology, neurointeventional radiology and neurosurgery. This book provides in-depth information for the most recent evidence-based advances in perioperative neurosciences. It includes research on postoperative cognitive dysfunctions, the effect of anaesthetics on the growing brain, the new theories for the development of cerebral aneurysm and cerebral vasospasm, and many more. A unique feature of the book is the world-renowned authorities in anaesthesiology, neurosurgery, neurointensive care, neurology, and neuroradiology and neurointeventional radiology who helped compile it. Consequently, this book will give the reader a unique opportunity to have in-depth coverage for the most recent advances in this very important specialty.

The anesthetic considerations and procedures involved in the perioperative care of the neurosurgical patient are among the most complex in anesthesiology. The practice of neurosurgery and neuroanesthesiology encompasses a wide range of cases, from major spine surgery, to aneurysm clipping and awake craniotomy. Case Studies in Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care provides a comprehensive view of real-world clinical practice. It contains over 90 case presentations with accompanying focussed discussions, covering the broad range of procedures and monitoring protocols involved in the care of the neurosurgical patient, including preoperative and postoperative care. The book is illustrated throughout with practical algorithms, useful tables and examples of neuroimaging. Written by leading neuroanesthesiologists, neurologists, neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons from the University of Michigan Medical School and the Cleveland Clinic, these clear, concise cases are an excellent way to prepare for specific surgical cases or to aid study for both written and oral board examinations.
