About this Research Topic
Diseases impacting the central nervous system (CNS) significantly contribute to disability and death. Exploring the mechanisms of neurological diseases and complications is a significant and challenging issue in current research. Anesthetic practices in patients undergoing neurosurgery have evolved into a necessary component of brain science due to the potential cognitive and consciousness-associated risks. Perioperative anesthetic management of neurological complications, which represents a key factor influencing the prognosis of vulnerable groups such as the elderly, should also be examined. With the help of new clinical neuromonitoring devices, validated experimental paradigms, and electrophysiological data analysis methods, the accuracy of perioperative status monitoring of patients has reached unprecedented levels. Such progressive integration of neuromonitoring methods provides adequate observational information for clinical studies.
In recent years, we have witnessed several crucial developments that have deepened our comprehension of CNS disorders, aided in analyzing anesthetic mechanisms, and improved patient prognosis by optimizing anesthetic management. Here, we propose to invite leading experts to review their findings on CNS disorders and anesthesia. Our focus is directed towards neurosurgical disorders encompassing brain tumors, cerebrovascular disorders, craniocerebral trauma, neurological disorders, and subsequent complications. To serve clinical applications, we expect to improve patient regression and survival quality from various perspectives, covering pathogenesis, drug action mechanisms, and perioperative management and monitoring.
We welcome reviews, original research, clinical trials, and translational research on anesthesia, including but not limited to the categories listed below.
• Brain Tumors and Anesthesia;
• Cerebrovascular Diseases and Anesthesia;
• Functional Neurosurgery and Anesthesia;
• Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction;
• Acute and Chronic Disorders of Consciousness;
• Mechanism of General Anesthetics.
