Oxford University Press Oxford Textbook of Neuroscience and Anaesthesiology

This comprehensive Oxford textbook explores the critical intersection of anaesthesiology and neuroscience, covering both the theoretical foundations and practical applications essential for perioperative care of neurologically compromised patients. The text examines how anaesthetic agents and analgesic interventions work at the neurological level, providing insight into the mechanisms underlying everyday clinical practice. It addresses emerging challenges in the field, including anaesthetic neurotoxicity, perioperative delirium, and postoperative cognitive dysfunction, whilst considering how the perioperative period impacts brain function and outcomes. Designed for medical practitioners and anaesthesia specialists, this Oxford University Press textbook integrates current research with clinical relevance, making it an authoritative reference for understanding the complex relationship between anaesthesiology and neuroscience in modern practice.
