1. Understand the Clinical Presentation and Diagnostic Workup o Review the signs and symptoms of cerebellopontine angle tumors in pediatric patients. o Interpret imaging findings and laboratory results relevant to neurosurgical planning. 2. Analyze Anesthetic Considerations in Pediatric Neurosurgery o Discuss the unique physiological considerations in pediatric patients, including cerebral blood flow (CBF) and metabolic rate. o Evaluate anesthesia plans tailored to posterior fossa surgery, including TIVA, airway management, and positioning. 3. Explore Intraoperative Monitoring and Complication Management o Understand the role of intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) and its anesthetic implications. o Identify and manage complications such as brainstem cardiac reflexes, venous air embolism (VAE), and airway challenges. 4. Review Postoperative Care and PICU Management o Assess postoperative neurological status and monitor for complications such as posterior fossa syndrome and pneumocephalus. o Discuss pain management, fluid balance, and neurocritical care strategies. 5. Apply Evidence-Based Strategies for ICP and CBF Control o Implement techniques to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and reduce intracranial pressure (ICP). o Review fluid and blood management protocols, including transfusion thresholds and use of antifibrinolytics. 6. Reflect on System-Level Challenges and Improvements o Identify resource limitations such as equipment availability and medication access. o Propose improvements in preoperative planning, team coordination, and intraoperative preparedness. 7. Promote Multidisciplinary Collaboration and Learning o Encourage teamwork across anesthesia, neurosurgery, nursing, and PICU teams. o Foster a culture of continuous learning through case-based discussion and morbidity/mortality review.
