Neuroanaesthesia has changed beyond all recognition since the advent of neurosurgery as a specialty (Fig. 1). Whilst the changes that have occurred in the last decade have been less dramatic, the period has nonetheless seen a steady evolution of anaesthetic techniques in the operating theatre, radiology suite and the neurocritical care setting. Many of these changes stem from our greater understanding of the science underlying cerebral physiology and pathophysiology and from the development of new anaesthetic agents. Others reflect the ever-accelerating pace of change in neurosurgical practice. Inevitably, a degree of parochialism will creep into this personal view of recent developments and for this I apologise. However, I hope the following description will largely reflect the changes in practice that have occurred in neuroanaesthesia throughout the United Kingdom.Conduct of anaesthesia The ultimate aim of anaesthesia for neurosurgery is to provide optimal intracranial operating conditions whilst maintaining an appropriate cerebral perfusion pressure and cerebral oxygenation. Our anaesthetic techniques and the pharmacological agents used are all directed towards satisfying these ambitions.
