Key result
Review summarizes the definition, etiology, risk factors, and prevention of intraoperative cerebral ischemia.
Why the study?
Cerebral ischemia during surgery is a serious perioperative complication with debilitating clinical sequelae that requires monitoring and prevention since neurological assessment is not possible under anesthesia.
This paper provides a general overview of the definition, etiology, risk factors, and prevention of cerebral ischemia during surgery.
Provides synthesis for perioperative cerebral ischemia management; leaves open need for prospective studies to guide practice.
Cerebral ischemia is the pathophysiological condition in which the oxygenated cerebral blood flow is less than what is needed to meet cerebral metabolic demand. It is one of the most debilitating complications in the perioperative period and has serious clinical sequelae. The monitoring and prevention of intraoperative cerebral ischemia are crucial because an anesthetized patient in the operating room cannot be neurologically assessed. In this paper, we provide an overview of the definition, etiology, risk factors, and prevention of cerebral ischemia during surgery.
