Anesthesia for Neurosurgery - Preoperative Considerations for Neurosurgical Procedures
Intracranial compliance
Intracranial compliance may be decreased by intracranial mass lesions (eg, tumor, hematoma, or abscess). Surrounding normal brain tissue may be compressed, leading to blood-brain barrier compromise, cerebral edema, loss of cerebral autoregulation, and local ischemia and inflammation. Signs and symptoms of increased ICP are discussed in Section I.C.2.
