Medically Challenging Case: Management of a Venous Air Embolism in a Sitting Craniotomy
Introduction Sitting craniotomies are performed for surgical access to the posterior fossa. This position is advantageous for several reasons. Surgically, the positioning allows for improved access to deep structures within the posterior fossa. The positioning of the head relative to the heart in the sitting position allows for decreased intracranial pressure (ICP) and … [Read more...] about Medically Challenging Case: Management of a Venous Air Embolism in a Sitting Craniotomy
EEG Signature(s): Anesthetic Titration
