Perioperative Management of Patients With Seizure Disorders: Part II
Abstract:
Patients with seizure disorders frequently present for anesthetic care, and anesthesiologists must be adequately equipped to manage these patients safely throughout the perioperative period. While Part I of this review focused on seizure diagnosis, classification, and treatment, Part II focuses on perioperative considerations for patients with seizure disorders. A detailed preoperative assessment is imperative as well as an in-depth understanding of the patient's medications and treatment modalities. It is also important to understand how each perioperative medication affects the patient's seizure threshold. Finally, if a perioperative seizure does occur, prompt diagnosis and management is critical. This review aims to provide an overview of these topics for both hospital and office-based settings.
