Key result
Review outlines the potential impact of recent concussion on perianesthetic care and identifies perioperative knowledge gaps.
Why the study?
Recent concussion causes persistent neurocellular and neurometabolic disruption, requiring anesthesiologists to stay updated on current principles and its perianesthetic impact.
This review highlights the need for anesthesiologists to understand the neurometabolic disruptions of recent concussions when providing perianesthetic care.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May warrant caution in perianesthetic care after recent concussion; leaves open key evidence gaps for prospective studies.
Patients with recent concussion experience disruption in neurocellular and neurometabolic function that may persist beyond symptom resolution. Patients may require anesthesia to facilitate diagnostic or surgical procedures following concussion; these procedures may or may not be related to the injury that caused the patient to sustain a concussion. As our knowledge about concussion continues to advance, it is imperative that anesthesiologists remain up to date with current principles. This Focused Review will update readers on the latest concussion literature, discuss the potential impact of concussion on perianesthetic care, and identify knowledge gaps in our understanding of concussion.
