Craniostenosis: the importance of the anesthesiologist

M Vercauteren et al. Acta Anaesthesiol Belg. 1985 Sep.

Abstract

Based on the experience with 15 patients operated for craniostenosis in our hospital, guidelines were determined for the anesthetic and postoperative management with optimal maintenance of vital parameters. Subgaleal accumulation of blood may cause a spectacular drop of hemoglobin level during the first postoperative days. Since it is better to prevent than to cure, systematic anti-convulsive and antibiotic prophylaxis must be considered.
