Review[Intraoperative neuroprotection - influence of the anaesthesiological management].
Perioperative neurofunctional disorders may become clinically apparent as e.g. perioperative stroke (POS) or postoperative cognitive deficit (POCD). Newly diagnosed neuro-functional disorders are associated with worsening of postoperative outcome. Focus of this review article is on the possibilities of the intraoperative anaesthesiological management to favourably influence incidence and severity of neurological complications and to improve postoperative outcome.

Review[Nephroprotection - anaesthetic management of renal transplantation].
Kidney transplantation is a standard surgical procedure. Improvements of immunosuppressive therapy, donor management and surgical technique reduced perioperative complications and improved graft survival. In this review the authors discuss the anaesthetic management of kidney transplantation and nephroprotective strategies: reduction of ischemia-reperfusion injury, maintenance of optimal graft perfusion, avoidance of nephrotoxic agents and effective immunosuppression.

[Perioperative myocardial protection in non-cardiac surgery].
Due to ongoing demographic changes more and more older patients with co-existent cardiac diseases undergo non-cardiac surgery. The risk of postoperative complications, notably myocardial ischemia, is raised in these patients. An accurate preparation before surgery including the risk profile and the management of co-medication is of paramount importance. ⋯ During surgery, tachycardia as well as hypertension and hypotension should be treated consequently. Perioperative myocardial infarction is often asymptomatic and diagnosis can be difficult. Sufficient analgesia is important in postoperative care of patients with co-existing cardiac diseases.
