Abstract
The concept of the use of arterial hypotension as an adjuvant in neuro-surgery was first proposed by Cushing in 1917: he observed that in the locally anaesthetized patient haemorrhage during operation was followed by arterial vasoconstriction and subsequently a dry operating field. This observation was radically different from that of Bayliss (1902) who had noticed that arterial hypotension in animals under general anaesthesia was followed by dilatation of the arteries of the brain.
