Anesthesia is crucial for successful awake craniotomies, enabling surgeons to resect brain tumors effectively. Anesthesia providers play a vital role in patient trust and managing perioperative care during these complex neurological interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Craniotomies are common for intracranial tumor resections.
  • Anesthesia is essential for optimal tumor removal while preserving healthy brain tissue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of anesthesia providers in awake craniotomy.
  • To discuss anesthesia techniques throughout the perioperative continuum for awake craniotomy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anesthesia techniques including preoperative evaluation, regional anesthesia, general anesthesia, and monitored anesthesia.
  • Discussion of the anesthesia provider's role in patient trust and motivation.

Main Results:

  • Awake craniotomy relies heavily on specialized anesthesia management.
