Clinical dilemmas in neuroanesthesia.
Clinical dilemmas that frequently challenge intraoperative neurosurgical anesthetic management include the use of the sitting position, and the application of monitoring strategies for the detection of venous air embolism. Familiarity with the physiological consequences of anesthetic administration and patient positioning, and the physiological consequences of VAE will enable the anesthetist to choose appropriate alternatives for anesthetic management.
