Abstract

This review is a synopsis of selected articles from neuroscience, neuroanesthesia, and neurocritical care from 2023 (January–November 2023). The journals reviewed include anesthesia journals, critical care medicine journals, 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. The summary of important articles will serve to update the knowledge of neuroanesthesiologists and other perioperative physicians who provide care to neurosurgical and neurocritical patients.

Keywords

neurocritical care - neuroanesthesia - craniotomy - stroke
