Prevention of Intra-operative Cerebral Ischemia during Carotid Endarterectomy, Loco-regional versus General Anesthesia
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA), as a prophylactic operation is becoming more popular. It is performed in patients who are at risk of stroke from dislodged atheromatous plaque at the carotid bifurcation. The major concern during CEA is the detection of cerebral hypoperfusion or ischemia during carotid...

| description | Carotid endarterectomy (CEA), as a prophylactic operation is becoming more popular. It is performed in patients who are at risk of stroke from dislodged atheromatous plaque at the carotid bifurcation. The major concern during CEA is the detection of cerebral hypoperfusion or ischemia during carotid cross clamping. Some studies have shown that the introduction of loco-regional anesthesia has lowered the incidence of major complications compared with general anesthesia since ischemia detection is easier in conscious patient. |
