This document discusses the effects of anesthetics on cerebral blood flow and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen. It explains that anesthetics generally suppress brain metabolism and appetite, leading to decreased cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure. Specific anesthetics like barbiturates, propofol, volatile agents, and nitrous oxide are discussed in terms of their effects on cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolic rate, intracranial pressure, and other factors. The importance of maintaining proper cerebral perfusion pressure during neuroanesthesia is also emphasized.
