Purpose of reviewThe scope of procedures conducted by neurointerventionalists is expanding quickly, with lacking consensus over the best anesthesia modality. Although the procedures involve all age groups, the interventions may be complex and lengthy and may be provided in hospitals currently not yet familiar with the field. Here we review current literature addressing elective outpatient neurointerventional procedures and aim to provide an update on the management of intervention-specific crises, address special patient populations, and provide key learning points for everyday use in the neurointerventional radiology suite. Recent findingsVarious studies have compared the use of different anesthesia modalities and preinterventional and postinterventional care. Monitored anesthesia care is generally recommended for elderly patients, whereas children are preferably treated with general anesthesia. Additional local anesthesia is beneficial for procedures, such as percutaneous kyphoplasty and vascular access.

“…Under normal conditions, CBF is kept within narrow boundaries. A constant blood flow independent of the mean arterial pressure (MAP) is necessary for a consistent supply of O 2 and glucose and elimination of metabolites in brain cells [ 10 ]. CBF is therefore autoregulated at a constant level in response to changes in MAP: a drop in MAP will lead to cerebral vasodilation in order to keep CBF constant, and vice versa.…”

Special Anaesthetic Considerations for Brain Tumour Surgery in Children

Brain tumours are among the most common neoplasm in children. Therefore, paediatric anaesthesiologists face the challenge of neurosurgical interventions in all age groups. To minimize perioperative mortality and morbidity, a comprehensive understanding of age-dependent differences in anatomy and cerebrovascular physiology is a mandatory prerequisite. Advances in subspeciality training in paediatric neurosurgery and paediatric anaesthesia may improve clinical outcomes and advance communication between the teams.

“…Harvey Cushing, the father of modern neurosurgery, left a larger imprint on anesthetic practice by emphasizing the importance of blood pressure monitoring in anesthesia and introducing the anesthesia chart for intraoperative monitoring. 5,6 Mentorship in neuroanesthesia practice, where a faculty/consultant could be a mentor with a resident/fellow as a mentee, presents its unique challenges. The tag of a rather new subspeciality in modern medicine presents an opportunity for anesthesiologists to learn the trade and help spread its wings elsewhere.…”

In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn"-Phil Collins Challenges faced by healthcare professionals in their personal and professional life are aplenty. Facing them effectively requires following the footsteps of and learning from the experiences of role models, seniors, and colleagues, alike. A successful healthcare professional is one who is most likely mentored for such challenges through the various phases of his/her educational path and even further.Various definitions exist for the term "mentor." Simply put, a mentor is a supporting person providing two broad categories of service to another individual (the mentee):(1) career enhancement and (2) psychosocial support. Career enhancement provides the mentee to perform challenging assignments, adequate exposure in the respective fields, and ensures that professional ethical values are imbibed. Psychosocial support, possibly the more important aspect of mentorship, prepares the mentee to perform the tasks of career enhancement by ensuring that the mentor provides a role model, counselor, and friend. This aspect of mentorship enhances the mentee's workethic and productivity.
