This literature review is devoted to modern condition of pharmacological neuroprotection. Aeuroprotection as a complex method of brain protection and reduction of neurological complications is a relevant trend in practical anesthesia and intensive care. The following data represents frequency of neurological complications in different types of surgery and its main classifications. In the first part of the review potential neuroprotectional abilities of modern anesthesia medications are discussed Mechanisms of neuronal destruction and possible ways of impact on the pathophysiological processes via pharmacological agents are observed. The most promising drugs with neuroprotectional effects are selected. In the second part of the review we are going to examine neuroprotection effects of non-anesthetic drugs.
