Abstract:
Surgery and anesthesia carry risks of ischemic, hemorrhagic, hypoxic, and metabolic complications, all of which can result in neurologic symptoms and deficits. Patients with underlying cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factors are particularly vulnerable. In this article the authors review the neurologic complications of surgery and anesthesia, with a focus on the role of the neurologic consultant in preoperative evaluation and risk stratification and diagnosis and management of postoperative complications.
