Speaker: Lashmi Venkatraghavan, University of Toronto Known knowns and Unknown knowns in neuroscience Learning objectives:
To review important known anatomical and physiological concepts relevance to neuroanesthesia.
To discuss the concepts that was unknowns and now become knowns.
Speaker: Sujoy Banik, University of Western Ontario Problem-based learning: Inverse Expectation : anesthetic management of single-stage carotid endarterectomy and pipeline flow diverter insertion for intracranial aneurysm.
The discussion will cover:
To stent or not to stent? Is stenting better than carotid endarterectomy in a concomitant procedure?
What comes first, the ischemia or the rupture? Should the carotid endarterectomy be done before the flow diversion, or vice versa?
What are the anesthetic challenges and appropriate monitoring for this patient?
