SNACC – How to Handle Neuroanaesthetic Emergencies

andersfeylingLeave a comment

From our quality-focused colleagues at the Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care (SNACC) comes this set of guidelines for management of the most common emergencies encountered in neuroanaesthetic practice. Conceived with the purpose of addressing complex emergent issues in a concise, goal-directed and simplified manner, these cognitive aids are clear-cut and based on… Continue reading SNACC – How to Handle Neuroanaesthetic Emergencies

Adenosine-induced transient asystole for intracranial aneurysm surgery: a retrospective review

andersfeylingLeave a comment

“Adenosine cardiac arrest is a relatively novel method for decompression of intracranial aneurysms to facilitate clip application. With appropriate safety precautions, it is a reasonable alternative method when temporary clipping of proximal vessels is not desirable or not possible” Abstract from the Journal of Neurosurgical Anaesthesiology. 2011: Adenosine-induced transient asystole for intracranial aneurysm surgery: a retrospective… Continue reading Adenosine-induced transient asystole for intracranial aneurysm surgery: a retrospective review
