Neuro Anesthesia is a specialized branch of anesthesia focused on surgeries involving the brain, spine, and nervous system. Unlike general anesthesia, which is used for various types of surgeries, neuro anesthesia requires precise techniques and monitoring to ensure brain and spinal cord functions are optimally maintained and protected during complex surgeries.
