    Summary

    Awake craniotomy anesthesia options were compared. While all methods enabled successful brain mapping, xenon and dexmedetomidine sedation offered improved safety and faster recovery compared to propofol.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Anesthesiology

    Context:

    • Awake craniotomy is the gold standard for intraoperative brain language mapping.
    • Anesthetic management is crucial for patient comfort and procedural success.

    Purpose:

    • To compare the safety and efficacy of different anesthetic techniques for awake craniotomy.
    • Evaluate propofol sedation, xenon anesthesia, and dexmedetomidine sedation.

    Summary:

    • 162 awake craniotomies were analyzed across four groups: propofol (with/without airway protection), xenon, and dexmedetomidine.
    • Brain language mapping success rates were similar across groups (90%).
    • Propofol sedation without airway protection had higher respiratory complication rates. Xenon offered rapid awakening, while dexmedetomidine ensured hemodynamic and respiratory stability.

    Impact:

    • Xenon anesthesia and dexmedetomidine sedation represent safer alternatives for awake craniotomy.
    • These findings can guide anesthetic choices to optimize patient outcomes and procedural efficiency.
