Anaesthesia plays a critical role in the management of neurotrauma, as it ensures optimal conditions for surgical intervention while minimizing risks to the brain and spinal cord. Patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or spinal injuries require precise anaesthetic management to control intracranial pressure, maintain cerebral perfusion, and prevent secondary brain injury.

The use of advanced anaesthetic agents and monitoring techniques has significantly improved outcomes for neurotrauma patients. The challenges in anesthesiology for neurotrauma also involve balancing the sedation levels to prevent brain damage while facilitating recovery. Ongoing research is focused on optimizing anaesthetic protocols for better long-term outcomes in neurotrauma patients.
