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.
