Abstract

This scoping review addresses the challenges of neuroanesthesiologic research: the population, the methods/treatment/exposure, and the outcome/results. These challenges are put into the context of a future research agenda for peri-/intraoperative anesthetic management, neurocritical care, and applied neurosciences. Finally, the opportunities of adaptive trial design in neuroanesthesiologic research are discussed.
