Abstract

Despite new surgical methods and interventions a considerable number of patients who undergo neurovascular procedures emergently or electively have substantial mortality, morbidity, and disability. Sound knowledge of pathophysiology of cerebral hypoperfusion, reliable and timely information from monitoring devices, and appropriate choice of therapeutic intervention is essential for successful anesthetic management of these patients. The management of perioperative vasospasm and temporary ischemia during aneurysm clipping require an understanding of cerebral vascular pathophysiology and neuroprotective measures.
