Wellbeing of Frontline Health Care Workers After the First SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic Surge at a Neuroscience Centre: A Cross-sectional Survey
Conclusions: Our findings highlight the prevalence of HCW burnout after the first surge of the pandemic, with an increased risk of burnout among nurses and staff from ethnic minority groups. Both nursing and staff from ethnic minority groups were also more fearful for their health. With ongoing pandemic surges, the impact on HCW wellbeing should be continuously assessed to ensure that local strategies to support staff wellbeing are diverse and inclusive.

Postoperative Screening With the Modified National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale After Noncardiac Surgery: A Pilot Study
Background: Perioperative stroke is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, yet there is no validated screening tool. The modified National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (mNIHSS) is validated for use in nonsurgical strokes but is not well-studied in surgical patients. We evaluated perioperative changes in the mNIHSS score in noncardiac, non-neurological surgery patients, feasibility in the perioperative setting, and the relationship between baseline cognitive screening and change in mNIHSS score. Methods: Patients aged 65 years and above presenting for noncardiac, non-neurological surgery were...

Diclofenac Is Superior to Paracetamol in Postoperative Pain Scores and Analgesic Consumption in Supratentorial Craniotomy With No Difference in Platelet and Clot Function: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion: Compared with paracetamol, diclofenac sodium provided more effective postoperative analgesia at 24 hours with no evidence of adverse effects on coagulation profiles in patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial tumors. (Source: Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology)

Intensive Care Admission and Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Cross-sectional Survey of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine
Conclusions: The ICU management of AIS, including therapeutic targets and clinical practice strategies, importantly varies between centers. Our findings may be helpful to define future studies and create a research agenda regarding the ICU therapeutic targets for AIS patients. (Source: Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology)

Safety of Nitrous Oxide Anesthesia in a Selected Group of Patients Undergoing Neurosurgery: An Exploratory Subgroup Analysis of the ENIGMA Trials
In this study, we performed an exploratory pooled analysis of both ENIGMA trials to assess the safety of nitrous oxide in a selected group of patients undergoing neurosurgery. Methods: Data from each ENIGMA trial were collated into a single database. Information regarding patient demographics, comorbidities, medication use, anesthesia, surgical procedure, and postoperative complications was extracted. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted for postoperative complications to assess the risk associated with nitrous oxide. Results: A total of 830 patients were included in our analysis: 417 received nitro...

Inadvertent Burst Suppression During Total Intravenous Anesthesia in 112 Consecutive Patients Undergoing Spinal Instrumentation Surgery: A Retrospective Observational Quality Improvement Project
Conclusions: High rates and prolonged periods of inadvertent burst suppression may be prevalent during spine instrumentation surgery with TIVA. Our findings suggest that usage of electroencephalography alone is incomplete without prompt interpretation and intervention, mandating close communication between neuromonitoring and anesthesia teams. The dose-response relationship between burst suppression, total time spent in maximal burst suppression, and their association with delirium warrants further evaluation.

Optimal Hemodynamic Parameters for Brain-injured Patients in the Clinical Setting: A Narrative Review of the Evidence
Defining optimal hemodynamic targets for brain-injured patients is a challenging undertaking. The physiological interference observed in various intracranial pathologies can have varying effects on cerebral physiology at different time points. This narrative review provides an overview of cerebral autoregulatory physiology and common misconceptions, and examines the physiological considerations and clinical evidence for determining optimal hemodynamic parameters in acutely brain-injured patients with relevance to modern neuroanesthesia and neurocritical care practice.

Brain and Heart Crosstalk During Neurointerventional Procedures: The Role of the Trigeminocardiac Reflex: An Updated Systematic Review
The trigeminocardiac reflex is a well-described brainstem reflex that clinically manifests as bradycardia, hypotension, or apnea. This physiological phenomenon is extensively reported during open neurosurgical procedures, but very few data exist for trigeminocardiac reflex occurrence during neurointerventional procedures. This systematic review aims to provide aggregated information related to the trigeminocardiac reflex during neurointerventional procedures and to improve understanding of the various mechanisms that can incite this unique brain-heart crosstalk.

Under the Helmet: Perioperative Concussion—Review of Current Literature and Targets for Research
Patients with recent concussion experience disruption in neurocellular and neurometabolic function that may persist beyond symptom resolution. Patients may require anesthesia to facilitate diagnostic or surgical procedures following concussion; these procedures may or may not be related to the injury that caused the patient to sustain a concussion. As our knowledge about concussion continues to advance, it is imperative that anesthesiologists remain up to date with current principles. This Focused Review will update readers on the latest concussion literature, discuss the potential impact of concussion on perianesthetic ca...

Perioperative Care of Patients Undergoing Major Complex Spinal Instrumentation Surgery: Clinical Practice Guidelines From the Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care
Evidence-based standardization of the perioperative management of patients undergoing complex spine surgery can improve outcomes such as enhanced patient satisfaction, reduced intensive care and hospital length of stay, and reduced costs. The Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care (SNACC) tasked an expert group to review existing evidence and generate recommendations for the perioperative management of patients undergoing complex spine surgery, defined as surgery on 2 or more thoracic and/or lumbar spine levels. Institutional clinical management protocols can be constructed based on the elements inclu...
