Neurosurgical interventions on the skull base including craniofacial block-resections were fulfilled on 36 patients aged from 16 through 73 years. Preoperative management of the patients was made mainly at the intensive therapy room. It included correction of water-electrolyte, protein metabolism, anemia. The key moments in the anesthetic management of such operations were maintenance of an adequate level of neurovegetative blockade, sufficient level of volemia by means of creating hypervolemic hemodilution, prophylactics of air embolism.
