Intracranial haemorrhage: therapeutic interventions and anaesthetic management.
نویسنده
چکیده
Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating cause of stroke. Although the total incidence of ICH has remained stable worldwide, the proportion associated with the use of anticoagulant medications is increasing. Innovative interventions developed to improve patient outcomes often require peri-procedure anaesthetic management. This non-systematic review examines the pathophysiology of ICH at a clinical level, reports on novel therapeutic interventions, many of which are currently in clinical trials, and reviews the current published recommendations for the management of patients with ICH.

Pheochromocytoma is rarely seen under the age of 8 years and the anaesthesia for pheochromocytoma surgery is challenging. We present the perioperative management of a 5-year-old boy with intestinal obstruction and two episodes of cerebral haemorrhage who presented for pheochromocytoma resection and enterolysis. Important issues in the management of this patient included choice of vasoactive age...
متن کاملA review of anaesthetic techniques for the surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
THE NON-SURGICAL MORTALITY rate during the first six weeks following the rupture of intracranial aneurysms is approximately 45 per cent to 50 per cent. 1,2,z Of the remainder, about 20 per cent will die of recurrent haemorrhage at a later date. 4 From the standpoint of reducing both the early and delayed mortality rates, as far as the good risk aneurysms are concerned, the results of surgical t...
متن کاملGeneral anaesthesia for neurosurgery.
Anaesthesia for neurosurgery, especially intracranial operations, requires conditions which maintain the perfusion of the brain with blood. This perfusion results from the cerebral perfusion pressure: the difference between the arterial and the intracranial pressures. Anaesthesia must also facilitate surgical access by reducing brain volume and minimizing surgical haemorrhage. Other common prob...
متن کاملAneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and the anaesthetist.
The anaesthetist may be involved at various stages in the management of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Thus, familiarity with epidemiological, pathophysiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic issues is as important as detailed knowledge of the optimal intraoperative anaesthetic management. As the prognosis of SAH remains poor, prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential, because ea...
