Archives of Surgery, 1952
NEUROSURGICAL procedures offer relief from intractable pain in many instances when medical and general surgical procedures fail. However, they should not be employed until all medical and physical means have been exhausted. Physical therapy and administration of an analgesic drug usually suffice to relieve pain due to inflammatory lesions such as ...

ANESTHESIA FOR NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1954
Anoxia, swelling of the brain, and excessive bleeding create the greatest dangers to successful neurosurgical procedures. Anoxia starts a vicious cycle by causing increased permeability of the capillaries, which results in loss of fluid into the tissues, and this, in turn, leads to greater degrees of tissue anoxia.

‘Diprifusor’ for neurosurgical procedures

Anaesthesia, 1998
The pharmacokinetic profile of propofol is an advantage in neurosurgery, where the rapid return of cognitive function is essential for an early postoperative assessment of neurological status. Administration of propofol by ‘Diprifusor’ target controlled infusion allows induction of anaesthesia in neurosurgical patients without significant reduction of ...

Immunodepression following neurosurgical procedures

Critical Care Medicine, 1995
To determine the influence of a selective, sterile central nervous system surgery on immune reactivity, particularly whether a decrease of monocytic human leukocyte antigen-DR expression, indicating immunodepression, occurs after neurosurgery and if this measurement is useful for identification of patients with a high risk of infection.Prospective ...
