Abstract

This review is a synopsis of selected articles from neuroscience, neuroanesthesia, and neurocritical care from 2021 (January–December 2021). The journals reviewed include anesthesia journals, critical care medicine journals, neurology, and neurosurgical journals as well as high-impact medical journals such as the Lancet, Journal of American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine, and Stroke. This summary of important articles will serve to update the knowledge of anesthesiologists and other perioperative physicians who provide care to neurosurgical and neurocritical care patients. In addition, some of the important narrative reviews that are of interest to neuroanesthesiologists are also listed.

Keywords

brain tumor - neuroanesthesia - neurocritical care - stroke
