title: [Aspects of general anesthesia in cerebral angiography].
abstract: The need for continuous control of the parameters that may influence cerebral homeostasis has made it advisable to use general anaesthesia for cerebral angiography. A combination of propanidide and neuroleptanalgesia, with controlled ventilation, was employed in a group of 66 patients with various cerebral diseases. The stability of narcosis and the absence of significant changes in the cardiocirculatory and respiratory parameters prevented alterations in cerebral flow and intracranial pressure during the examination. Prompt reawakening enabled the patient's neurological state at the end of the examination to be immediately evaluated. In addition, the angiograms were of better quality.
