SNACC Neuroanesthesia Classroom – Week 1

GO TO WEEKLY OUTLINE
WEEK 1
WEEK 2
WEEK 3
WEEK 4

During week one, the trainee will acquire foundational knowledge of cerebral anatomy and physiology. The trainee will:

  • Describe the basic anatomy of the brain, including blood supply, venous drainage, and cerebrospinal fluid production and flow.
  • Appreciate the concept of intracerebral pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure.
  • Understand autoregulation and contributing variables including CMRO2/CBF coupling. Appreciate the connection to cerebral ischemia and protection.
  • Understand the anesthetic effects on cerebral blood flow and CMRO2.
