Neuroanaesthesia advances patient outcomes by integrating surgical and neurological insights. This review explores current controversies and the role of awake craniotomies in neurosurgical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Neuroanaesthesia is a critical specialty directly impacting patient outcomes.
  • Evolving neurosurgical techniques present new challenges for anesthesiologists, requiring multidisciplinary expertise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current controversies in elective neurosurgical anesthesia.
  • To discuss future perspectives and the role of awake craniotomies.
  • To highlight the importance of anesthetic management in minimally invasive and functional neurosurgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current neuroanaesthesia practices.
  • Discussion of advancements in anesthetic drugs and monitoring.
  • Analysis of controversies in elective neurosurgical anesthesia.

Main Results:

  • Minimally invasive procedures necessitate optimal operative conditions, neurocognitive preservation, and rapid recovery.
  • Awake craniotomies require specialized anesthetic skills for patient management during and after surgery.
  • Despite advances, significant controversies persist regarding best clinical practices in neuroanaesthesia.

Conclusions:

  • Neuroanaesthesia requires a blend of anesthesiology, neurosurgery, and neurology knowledge.
  • Awake craniotomies are increasingly important, emphasizing patient emergence and recovery.
  • Further research is needed to resolve ongoing controversies and optimize patient care in neuroanaesthesia.
