Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers Neuroanesthesiology: Case Companion
Book SynopsisNeuroanaesthesiology is a subspecialty area of anaesthesiology that deals with the complex relationships of anaesthetic medications, neurosurgical procedures, and the critical care issues that surround the management of these patients. This book is a comprehensive guide to neuroanaesthesiology for trainees in anaesthesia, neurosurgery and neurology. Divided into four sections, the text begins with in depth discussion on applied anatomy and physiology. Section two covers neuropathology, and section three examines case management detailing a multitude of different surgical procedures. The final section presents a selection of appendices. Reflecting the New York-based author’s extensive experience in the field, the book is designed to be a practical manual, teaching aid, and source of case discussions. The text is bulleted and concise, explaining key concepts with the help of line diagrams, numerical data, and tables. The layout of the content provides space for personal annotations to assist learning and interesting vignettes about neurosciences further enhance reading.Table of ContentsSECTION 1: Applied Anatomy and Physiology Chapter 1: Cell Biology of the Nervous System Chapter 2: Blood–Brain Barrier Chapter 3: Applied Anatomy of the Central Nervous System Chapter 4: Spinal Cord Anatomy Chapter 5: Visual Pathway Chapter 6: Auditory Pathway Chapter 7: Cerebral Circulation: Anatomy Chapter 8: Cerebral Blood Flow Regulation Chapter 9: Brain Metabolism and Flow Metabolism Coupling Chapter 10: Cerebrospinal Fluid Formation and Circulation Chapter 11: Hypothalamus—Pituitary Axis Chapter 12: Electrophysiological Monitoring Chapter 13: Neurological Monitoring and Imaging Chapter 14: Positioning during Neurosurgery Chapter 15: Anesthetic Neuroprotection and Neurotoxicity SECTION 2: Neuropathology for Anesthesiologists Chapter 16: Raised Intracranial Pressure and CSF Drainage Procedures Chapter 17: Hydrocephalus in Children Chapter 18: Atherosclerotic Cerebrovascular Disease Chapter 19: Brain Tumor Pathology Chapter 20: Brain Edema and Herniation Chapter 21: Cerebral Aneurysms Chapter 22: Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Cerebral Vasospasm Chapter 23: Pathophysiology of Arteriovenous Malformations Chapter 24: Surgical Treatment of Chronic Pain Chapter 25: Developmental Abnormalities of Spine and Scoliosis Chapter 26: Pathophysiology of Spinal Cord Injury Chapter 27: Movement Disorders Chapter 28: Seizure Types and Treatment Chapter 29: Venous Air Embolism Chapter 30: Traumatic Brain Injury Chapter 31: Targeted Temperature Management.

Springer Acid-Base Regulation and Body Temperature
Book SynopsisDuring the last 20 years two groups of investigators have concerned themselves with the problem of acid-base regulation at various body temperatures. Each group, in professional isolation, pursued a separate path. Surgeons and anesthe tists developed techniques and tools for hypothermic cardio-pulmonary by-pass operations and based their rationale for acid-base management on in vitro models of blood behavior. Physiologists and biochemists, on the other hand, endeavored to understand acid-base regulation in living organisms naturally subjected to changes in body temperature. Only in the last decade has there been an increasing awareness that each group could benefit from the other's experiences. With this goal in mind members of both groups were invited to present their views and observations in the hope of arriving at a better understanding of acid-base management during hypothermia and gaining a greater insight into the factors which control acid-base regulation during normothermia. This led to the presen tation of the present volume with the aim of providing the clinician with a survey of present theories and the resulting strategies for management of the hypother mic patient. Acknowledgment The editors express their great appreciation to Miss Augusta Dustan for her dedicated effort in the preparation and editing of the manuscripts. Contributors Heinz Becker, M. D.

Springer Kinetics and Dynamics of Intravenous Anesthetics
Book SynopsisMany drugs used in current anesthetic practice are administered intravenously. An appreciation of their kinetics and dynamics is of great assistance in determining the most appropriate drug to use, and optimal dosage regimens for any given patient. This book is specially oriented to the requirements of anesthesiologists. It will enable the student of those subjects to gain enough knowledge to make these subjects usable in daily anesthetic practice. As such it is intermediate in difficulty between mathematically oriented texts, and those which only offer a very qualitative understanding of these subjects. Practical applications and examples of the uses to which kinetic and dynamic principles can be put in daily practice are emphasized and illustrated. Basic principles and techniques with which the reader can perform kinetic and dynamic calculations are explained simply and demonstrated in detail using examples derived from clinical practice. Two appendices provide kinetic and dynamic data on the most commonly used anesthetic drugs. The last chapters use the principles discussed in the first chapters to show how variations of normal physiology and disease affect drug kinetics and dynamics. This is especially valuable to the clinician as it enables clinically useful, albeit qualitative, predictions to be made of the direction of any change of kinetic and dynamic parameters of drugs due to these factors.

This second volume focuses on neurocritical care. The book begins with basic information on the principles of neurocritical care. Management of various neurological problems such as myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, epilepsy, stroke and many more are discussed in detail. Subsequent sections address nursing care, physiotherapy and psychological care, issues related to brain death and organ donation, and common complications observed in neurological patients during their ICS stays. Each complication is discussed in detail, guiding readers in their clinical practice. In turn, the book’s closing chapters cover e.g. the role of hypothermia and evidence-based practice. The book offers a valuable resource for all residents, fellows and trainees in the fields of neurointensive care and critical care; it will also benefit intensivists and neurocritical care experts. Trade Review“The book is well written. It will serve not only as an invaluable resource for intensivists and NCC physicians but also for residents, fellows, and trainees. Anesthesiologists who are not specifically trained in neuroanesthesia or neurointensive care will also find this book helpful and worth purchasing.” (Meilin Lu and Liang He, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 129 (6), December, 2019)Table of ContentsSection I - Fundamentals of neurocritical care.- Section II - Pharmacological considerations.- Section III - Critical care management.- Section IV - Neuromonitoring.- Section V - Systemic care.- Section VI - Supportive care.- Section VII - Pain management.- Section VIII - Ethical considerations.- Section IX - Near misses in critical care.- Section X - Recent advances.
