New developments in anaesthesia for neurological surgery.
The present review concentrates on the advances that have been made in three areas. First, the cerebrovascular effects of anaesthetic agents used for neurological surgery are considered. Second, recent data relating to the use of remifentanil are reviewed. Finally, two recent papers that have examined the place of anticoagulation in patients undergoing neurological surgery are evaluated.
