✅ Core Topics in Neuroanesthesia

1. Neurophysiology and Anesthesia

• Cerebral autoregulation
• Cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral metabolic rate (CMRO₂)
• Intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP)
• Intracranial pressure (ICP) and Monroe-Kellie hypothesis
• CSF production, circulation, and absorption
• Blood-brain barrier and its anesthetic implications

2. Neuroanesthetic Pharmacology

• Effects of  anesthetics on CBF, CMRO₂, and ICP 
• Opioids and neuroanesthesia
• Neuroprotection strategies
• Local anesthetics in neurosurgery

3. Neuroanesthesia Monitoring

• Invasive vs non-invasive monitoring
• Intracranial pressure monitoring techniques
• Cerebral oximetry (NIRS)
• Transcranial Doppler
• EEG, BIS, and other electrophysiologic monitoring
• Somatosensory and motor evoked potentials (SSEPs/MEPs)
• Jugular venous oximetry
