[Intra- and postoperative anesthesiologic management in cerebral arteriovenous malformations]. / Management anestesiologico intra- e post-operatorio nelle malformazioni artero-venose cerebrali.

ABSTRACT

The authors analyze the anesthetic management of 59 cases of "large" arteriovenous malformation (more than 20 cm3), all completely removed by microsurgical technique. The discussion is focused on immediate pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative pharmacological treatments in order to reduce the hemodynamic effects in the surrounding brain after excision of angiomas.
