Download or read book Perioperative Considerations and Positioning for Neurosurgical Procedures written by Adam Arthur and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are relationships that exist between neuroanesthesia, neurosurgical procedures, individual patient pathology and the positioning of a patient for said procedure. A comprehensive examination of these relationships, their association with patient morbidity/mortality and how to approach these issues in an evidence-based manner has yet to become available. Positioning related injuries have been documented as major contributors to neurosurgical/neuroanesthesiology liability. This text examines these relationships. It provides considerations necessary to the correct positioning of a patient for a neurosurgical procedure for each individual patient and their individual pathology. In other words, this text will demonstrate how to construct the necessary surgical posture for the indicated neurosurgical procedure given the individual constraints of the patient within the environment of anesthesia and conforming to existing evidence-based practice guidelines. Sections will address physiological changes inherent in positioning in relation to anesthesia for neurosurgical procedures, assessment of patient for planned procedure, as well as considerations for managing problems associated with these relationships. Additional sections will examine the relationship between neurosurgical positioning and medical malpractice and the biomechanical science between positioning devices and neurosurgical procedures. Neurosurgery and its patient population are in a constant state of change. Providing the necessary considerations for the neurosurgical procedure planned under the anesthesia conditions planned in the position planned, often in the absence of multicase study literary support, without incurring additional morbidity is the goal of this text.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Neurosurgery written by Andrei Fernandes Joaquim and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to provide clinicians and medical students with basic knowledge of the most common neurosurgical disorders. There is a vast array of signs and symptoms that every clinician should recognize as neurosurgical affectations, allowing them to identify when to refer the patient to a neurosurgeon. In this text, the editors intend to bridge the gap between clinical medicine and neurosurgery, making neurosurgical practice understandable to a wider medical public. The book provides a smooth transition from neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neurological examination to neurosurgery, focusing more on the knowledge underlying neurosurgical practice rather than on surgical technique. The core of the book is composed of chapters discussing each of the most important medical conditions that deserve neurosurgical intervention, providing key information on diagnosis, clinical aspects, disease management, surgical procedures and prognosis. Moreover, complementary discussion of the frontiers and advances in neurosurgery are also covered. In this sense, this book has two main goals and intended audiences. First, and primarily, it is intended for clinicians in a wide array of non-surgical medical specialties (such as general practitioners, neurologists, pediatricians, oncologists and others) aiming to give an overview on important characteristics and initial management of the most prevalent disorders treated by neurosurgeons. Second, and to a lesser degree, it is intended to be used as a practical guide for medical students who are initiating their study in neurosurgical sciences. Fundamentals of Neurosurgery – A Guide for Clinicians and Medical Students intends to be a comprehensive guide for all non-neurosurgeons who want to broaden their knowledge of neurosurgery.

The concise and practical style is deliberately chosen for easy use. Comprehensive Neurosurgery is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of disorders which affect the spine, the brain, and the nervous system within the head and cervical canal. Comprehensive Neurosurgery can be broadly categorized into two categories, namely surgical neurosurgery, concerned with the operative treatment of disease, and non-surgical neurosurgery, concerned with the management and rehabilitation of patients with acquired brain insults. Neurosurgery is a surgical specialty that deals with the human nervous system. It is both an operating room procedure and a diagnostic procedure. The procedure of neurosurgery deals with the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Some of the operations of neurosurgery that you can find in this blog are pituitary tumor surgery, brain tumor surgery and the craniotomy procedure. Besides the surgical operations, Comprehensive Neurosurgery also deals with diagnostic procedures like the myelogram, spinal taps, brain biopsy and the EEG test. Each chapter specifically attempts to draw together all up-to-date relevant information and integrate theory and practice for a comprehensive learning in a concise and practical style.
