Drugs Used for Controlled Hypotension
The aims of controlled hypotension in neurosurgical practice are to decrease blood loss during surgery, to provide a dry surgical field and to diminish the risk of intraoperative aneurysm rupture. The benefits of controlled hypotension must be discussed i

Preface
The science of neuroanesthesia is fascinating and the amounts of experimental and clinical studies are overwhelming. Very early in our carreer as neuroanesthesiologists our memory concerning this field was challenged. Consequently, we initiated this review which also summarizes our clinical studies of the effects of anesthetics upon cerebral blood flow and metabolism. The clinical studies were carried out at the Department of Anesthesiology, Hvidovre Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark and the Department of Neuroanesthesia, Arhus University Hospital, Denmark. Accordingly, we want to thank the chiefs of these departments, Professor Henning Ruben and Erland Hansen, M.D., Hvidovre Hospital and Paul Agerskov, M.D., Arhus University Hospital. However, without the support by the chiefs of the respective neurosurgical departments it was impossible to accomplish the present clinical studies. We are grateful to Torkild Nerholm, M.D., Hvidovre Hospital and Professor Peter Rasmussen and Jens Buhl, M.D., Arhus University Hospital. We are deeply indebted to our collaborators in these clinical studies, both neurosurgeons and anesthesiologists, who have used their spare time and with enthusiasm have participated in the clinical studies. A special thank to the anesthesiologists Marianne Engberg, M
