Anaesthetic aims
1. Maintaining patient cooperation:
Optimal analgesic care.
Adequate sedation and anxiolysis during the different
stages.
Comfortable position.
Nausea, vomiting and seizure prevention.
![Page 16: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Homeostasis:
Safe Airway and adequate ventilation.
Hemodynamic stability.
Normal intracranial pressure.
3. Most important for epilepsy surgery:
Limited interference with electrophysiological recordings.
![Page 17: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Technique
Numerous techniques have evolved along with surgical
indications:– MAC (Monitored Anaesthesia Care)– AAA (Asleep-Awake-Asleep)
![Page 18: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MAC (Monitored Anaesthesia Care)
• According to the ASA, MAC is a specific anaesthetic protocol
that includes careful monitoring and support of vital functions.
• The anaesthetist administers sedatives, analgesics, and
hypnotics, addresses any clinical problems, and provides the
patient with psychological support during diagnostic and
therapeutic procedures.
• The ASA recommends that the provider of MAC must be
prepared and qualified to convert to general anaesthesia, if
necessary.
![Page 19: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
AAA (Asleep-Awake-Asleep)
• AAA anaesthetic approach consists of general anaesthesia
before and after brain mapping.
• In the 1950’s, Penfield described blind nasotracheal intubation
after cortical mapping.
• In same year, Hall & Ingvar, used nasotracheal intubation to
maintain the tracheal tube during craniotomy for intractable
epilepsy.
![Page 20: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• In 1993, Weiss placed a tracheal tube in one nostril at 22 cm in
order to support ventilation during propofol administration
with N2O general anaesthesia.
• In 1998,. Huncke et al gave great force to the AAA technique
for epilepsy surgery by reporting 10 cases, who were intubated
awake using a fibreoptic laryngoscope before & after brain
mapping.
![Page 21: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Intraoperative Monitoring
![Page 22: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Brain mapping
• Originally used for epileptic surgery, is now utilized for tumor
resection.
• More widely used within the last 2 decades.
• Identifies:
– Regions of language representation (dominant cerebral
hemisphere)
– Motor cortex (either hemisphere)
![Page 23: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cont..
• Intra-op mapping helps distinguish between eloquent cortex
and tumor tissue, which facilitates:
– Accessing the tumor from safest transcortical route.
– Aggressive tumor resection while preserving functional
tissue.
![Page 24: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Brain Mapping: Language • Indicated if the surgical site is near language associated
cortical sites or “speech areas”
– Broca’s(expression): posterior/inferior/frontal lobe of dominant
hemisphere.
– Wernicke’s(comprehension): posterior/temporal lobe of
dominant hemisphere.
• Direct electrical stimulation of the cortex during language
tasks while observing for speech hesitation, arrest or
dysnomia.
![Page 25: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Brain Mapping: Motor
• Grid of electrodes placed on brain surface to identify a phase
reversal of SSEPs recorded over the posterior sensory cortex
and precentral motor gyrus.
• Direct electrical stimulation of the cortex to elicit motor
movement.
• MEPs, more recently, used to map and monitor subcortical
motor pathways.
![Page 26: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Depth of Anaesthesia
• Bispectral Index: Measures anaesthetic depth (correlates with
hypnotic component of anaesthesia)
– 40-60 (asleep phase)
– >85 (awake phase)
• Entropy: Another method of assessing anaesthetic depth
commercially developed by Datex-Ohmeda.
– RE (Response Entropy)
– SE (State Entropy)

• Ramsay Sedation Score:
• OAA/S scale:
![Page 29: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Anaesthetic Considerations &
Management
![Page 30: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Preoperative Evaluation
• Patient’s Preparations:
– Obtaining the patient’s confidence & agreement to cooperate
during surgery is key.
– Developing good rapport with pt & their family is crucial.
– Inform pt. of our expectations of them during the awake phase…
and what they can expect from us.... “Commitment, safety,
comfort.”
![Page 31: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Contd..
• Aspects to be considered in Preoperative evaluation:
– Upper airways:
• Prediction of difficult tracheal intubation (physical
confirmation and past intubation)
• Obstructive apnea risk (obesity, sleep apnea,
retrognathia)
– Epilepsy:
• Pharmacotherapy
• Antiepileptic drug serum concentration
• Type & frequency of seizures
![Page 32: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Contd..– Nausea & Vomiting:
• Past anaesthesia
• Kinetosis (Motion Sickness)
– Intracranial pressure estimation:
• Type of lesion
• Radiological & clinical signs
– Hemorrhagic risk:
• Type & localization of lesion
• Therapy (Antiplatelet drugs)
• Medical history
![Page 33: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Contd..
– Patient cooperation:
• Anxiety
• Pain tolerance
• Neurological deficits
“A visit to the operating room before surgery is a good idea in
order to familiarize the patient with the sounds & equipment in
the operating rooms”.
![Page 34: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Premedication
• There is no general consensus regarding premedication, and
decisions should be made based on the patient’s clinical
condition, the anaesthetist's opinion, and hospital standards.
• Some anaesthetist do not administer any premedication.
![Page 35: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Contd..
• Benzodiazipines (e.g. midazolam)
• Anticholinergic (e.g. glycopyrrolate, atropine)
• Antiemetics– Metoclopramide (10 mg)– Ondansetron (4-8mg)– Droperidol (0.625-2.5mg)– Dexamethasone (4-16 mg)
• Antacids (e.g. ranitidine 150mg)• Opioids (e.g. fentanyl, remifentanil)
![Page 36: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Contd..
• NSAID’s (e.g diclofenac or acetaminophen)
• α- 2 adrenoceptor agonists (e.g. Clonidine, demetomidine)
• Antiepileptics as per the treatment protocol of the patient.
• Any other medications patient is taking for any other systemic
manifestation.
“Most important of all is the thorough explanation of the
PROCEDURE”
![Page 37: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Local Anaesthesia
• Anaesthetic care always includes scalp block.
• A 40 to 60 mL of local anaesthetic volume is used for
infiltration.
• High local anaesthetic volume and well-vascularized areas
may predispose to anaesthetic toxicity.
• The use of adrenaline (5 μg/mL, 1:2,00,000 dilution) both
minimizes acute rises in plasma anaesthetic concentration and
maximizes the duration of the block.
![Page 38: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Contd..
• Clinical vigilance is particularly indicated within 15 minutes
after scalp block.
• With regards to toxicity, ropivacaine and levobupivacaine
appear to be safer than bupivacaine.
• Despite this difference, bupivacaine is the most commonly
used local anesthetic in the literature.
![Page 39: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Nerves Block
1. Auriculotemporal nerve (mandibular branch of trigeminal
nerve): infiltration over zygomatic process and distal temporal
artery.
2. Zygomaticotemporal nerve (zygomatic nerve’s terminal root
that originates from maxillary branch of trigeminal nerve).
3. Supraorbital nerve (root of frontal nerve which originates
from ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve): infiltration from
the nasal root to the midpoint of the eye.
![Page 41: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Contd..
4. Supratrochlear nerve (root of frontal nerve which originates
from ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve): infiltration
together with supraorbital nerve.
5. Greater occipital nerve (posterior ramus of C2): infiltration
about 2.5 cm lateral to the nuchal’s median line, directly
medial to occipital artery.
6. Lesser occipital nerve (anterior branches of C2 and C3):
infiltration 2.5 cm lateral to greater occipital nerve one.

Need for Nerve block????
![Page 43: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Maintanence of Anaesthesia
• Propofol: Widely employed for neurosurgical anesthesia (and
awake craniotomy) due to:
– Easily titratable sedative effect
– Rapid recovery with clear-headedness
– Decreased CMRO2
– Reduced ICP
– Potent anti-convulsant properties
– Antiemetic properties
![Page 44: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Contd..
• Remifentanil: Ultra short-acting opioid, is becoming more popular:
– Rapid onset of action
– Remifentanil has an ester linkage which undergoes rapid hydrolysis
by non-specific tissue and plasma esterases. This means that
accumulation does not occur with remifentanil and its context-
sensitive half life remains at 4 minutes after a 4 hour infusion
– Rapid awakening for neurologic testing
– Smoother hemodynamic profile
![Page 45: Awake craniotomy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/556bd091d8b42a15608b52aa/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• Dexmedetomidine: Alpha-2 adrenoceptor agent.
– Sedative, anxiolytic & analgesic properties.
– Imidazole derivative, greater specificity for the α-2
adrenoceptor.
– Distribution half life of 6minutes, with complete
biotransformation by the liver & very little unchanged
excreted in urine & faeces.
