Editorial Reviews

I highly recommend this textbook for practicing anesthetists who encounter the opportunity to anesthetize for neurosurgical procedures. The language is easy to understand, the information is generally well organized and easy to follow, and the diagrams add value to the text.

This book covers all important aspects relating to Neuroanesthesia. Fifty contributors from around the world who are experts in their areas of clinical experience provided specialized information in the various chapters. Mainly targeted to neuroanesthesiologists and anesthesiologists in training, this book provides important information on how to manage different neurosurgical, neurological, and neuroradiologic cases. This manual would be very interesting and educational
for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring technologists (IONM) as well as neurodiagnostic technologists being trained in operating room monitoring.
