Abstract

Patients with recent concussion experience disruption in neurocellular and neurometabolic function that may persist beyond symptom resolution. Patients may require anesthesia to facilitate diagnostic or surgical procedures following concussion; these procedures may or may not be related to the injury that caused the patient to sustain a concussion. As our knowledge about concussion continues to advance, it is imperative that anesthesiologists remain up to date with current principles. This Focused Review will update readers on the latest concussion literature, discuss the potential impact of concussion on perianesthetic care, and identify knowledge gaps in our understanding of concussion.
