Neuroanesthesia
During this rotation residents gain
experience in all aspects of neuroanesthesia practice.
Residents have the anesthetize patients having a wide variety of
neurosurgical procedures including craniotomies for supra- and
infratentorial tumors, intracranial vascular surgical procedures for
the treatment of aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations, and
spine surgery. The rotation stresses the pathophysiology of
intracranial disease and surgery with special emphasis placed on
understanding intrancranial elastance and intracranial hypertension
and how they are altered during anesthesia and surgery.
Residents gain experience with various techniques of
neurophysiologic monitoring. |
