The book addresses important translational topics including neuroanesthetics, pharmacogenomics, neuroprotection and neurotoxicity. In addition, it covers special considerations for topics such as stroke, traumatic brain injury and pain, as well as for specific patient populations like geriatric and pediatric.
- Addresses translational developments in pharmacogemonics, brain protection and neurotoxicity
- Discusses ethical concerns relevant to clinical research in perioperative neuroscience
- Collates insights from international experts in translating research to practice
