A study of six common neuroanesthesia cases.
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) provide anesthesia to a wide spectrum of patients, including those undergoing various neurosurgical procedures. While some CRNAs specialize in neuroanesthesia, most are involved on a more episodic basis. Using a case study format, this article reviews the pathophysiology associated with six common neurologic conditions the general practice CRNA may encounter. Important anesthesia considerations for each condition are discussed.
