Anesthetic Management of Chiari Decompression
View through CrossRef
Chiari malformation is a congenital neurodevelopment abnormality affecting the cerebellum and the brainstem. This chapter looks at the etiology, history, diagnostic criteria, physical exam findings, pathophysiology, and treatment for this disease process from the perspective of an anesthesiologist. The signs and symptoms stemming from Chiari malformations including syringomyelia, respiratory dysfunction, and vasomotor instability will be discussed. Preoperative considerations will be examined as well as ways to optimize these patients prior to surgery. Intraoperative anesthetic goals for patients undergoing Chiari decompression will be presented and postoperative objectives will be examined in detail. The ultimate purpose of this chapter is to review relevant literature and put forth a set of recommendations regarding the anesthetic care of complicated patients undergoing intracranial surgery.
