Beach Chair Position Anaesthesia

Anesthetic agents have distinct effects on cerebral hemodynamics and metabolism, 14,15 which may have implications for beach chair positioning.

Beach chair position anaesthesia. A relative decrease in rsco2 of more than 20% occurred in 80% of patients when the beach chair position was adopted. This technique has recently been associated with hypotensive episodes and consequent severe neurologic dysfunction, including brain stem infarction from cerebral hypoperfusion and visual loss. Agents with greater preservation of cerebral blood flow (cbf) to cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (cmr o 2) ratio may allow for greater tolerance of cerebral hypoperfusion.cerebral oxygenation appears better preserved in the beach chair position with.
