Just read Barash or Miller.

Agree that reading the chapter in Barash or Miller are enough, but if you really want to go gunner, then Cottrell would be the gold standard for neuroanesthesia.

Propofol, remi, phenylephrine.

Congratulations, you are a neuroanesthesiologist!

You can send me $300 via PayPal if you want.

You don't need either a textbook or a fellowship for neuroanesthesia. 90+% is ortho with an a-line (actually the ortho patients tend to be older and sicker).

The fact that you are doing it as a CA-1 speaks volumes.

I'm doing it now and they are having us read Cottrell 's Handbook of Neuroanesthesia, which is very digestible.
Most of the chapters can be managed in one night.

aline. position. propofol. labetalol/phenyl, fentanyl. Tadaaa!

The neuro chapters in Morgan and mikhail provide a good introduction

Don't let them move in pins

Farag has two great neuroanesthesia books case based neuroanesthesia 1 and 2. Teaches all of neuroanesthesia with clinical correlates.

Agree with everything said above, +/- Mannitol, depending on the case. IMHO, the biggest pain in the arse with the crani room is turning over and moving everything to the other side of the room when the surgeon changes sides.

I would use more basic books like "The Anesthesia Guide" by Mcgraw hill. Excellent resource for neuranesthesia for residents: goes over how to setup the room, what intraop events to watch out for, basic physiology, and PACU issues. Start there and then go to the textbooks.

Propofol, remi, phenylephrine. Congratulations, you are a neuroanesthesiologist!

Says the CRNA, "Propofol, roc, tube, Congratulations you're equivalent to an anesthesiologist."
