This is a subspecialty of anesthesiology that focuses on patients undergoing neurosurgery (surgery of the brain and/or spinal cord). It is also referred to as neurosurgical anesthesia or neurological anesthesia.
Neuroanesthesia is critical in the management of neurosurgical cases. A neuroanesthesiologist acutely cares for the patient through control of blood blow, blood pressure and energy consumption of the brain and spinal cord.
They have extensive training in brain and spinal cord physiology including metabolism and blood flow dynamics and the changes in the brain and spinal functions due to disease as well as of cerebral edema (swelling in the brain) and intracranial pressure (pressure that occurs within the cranium or skull).
Neurology specialists, neurosurgeons and neuro-anesthesiologists work closely together to provide a strong and comprehensive care to the patient and deliver the best neurocritical services.
The neuroanesthesiologist assists in achieving optimal operating conditions for the neurosurgeon while ensuring the patient remains unconsciousness, has good brain blood flow and oxygen levels and receives the appropriate pain management during and after the procedure.
Sometimes a special mix of anesthesia is tailored to allow for spinal cord or brain monitoring as well as meeting the goals of surgery and anesthesia. In addition, if the neurosurgeon needs to have the patient awake, the neuroanesthesiologist has the expertise to create a special mix of sedatives and monitors to allow the surgery to proceed successfully.
