Awake Craniotomy in Conscious Sedation: The Role of A2 Agonists. Brain Sci 2024; 14:147. [PMID: 38391722 PMCID: PMC10886693 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci14020147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In Awake Craniotomy (AC), α2-agonists and remifentanil (clonidine and dexmedetomidine) are used in the preoperative phase and throughout the procedure to combine monitored anesthesia care and local anesthesia. The study aims were to specify the key role of α2-agonists administered and to evaluate complication presence/absence in anesthesiologic management. METHODS 42 patients undergoing AC in 3 different centers in the south of Italy (Foggia, San Giovanni Rotondo, and Bari) were recruited. Our protocol involves analgo-sedation by administering Dexmedetomidine and Remifentanil in continuous intravenous infusion, allowing the patient to be sedated and in comfort but contactable and spontaneously breathing. During pre-surgery, the patient is premedicated with intramuscular clonidine (2 µg/kg). In the operating setting, Dexmedetomidine in infusion and Remifentanil in Target Controlled Infusion for effect are started. At the end of the surgical procedure, the infusion of drugs was suspended. RESULTS There were no intraoperative side effects. The mean duration of interventions was 240 ± 62 min. The average quantity of Remifentanil and Dexmedetomidine infused during interventions were 4.2 ± 1.3 mg and 1.0 ± 0.3 mg, respectively. No significant side effects were described in the post-operative phase. A total of 86% of patients and 93% of surgeons were totally satisfied. CONCLUSIONS Synergy between opioid drugs and α2 agonists plays a fundamental role in ensuring procedure success.

Patient perception and satisfaction in awake burr hole trepanation under local anesthesia for evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2024; 236:108085. [PMID: 38134758 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2023.108085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
Evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) will be one of the most common neurosurgical procedures in the future in the increasingly aging societies. Performing cranial surgery on awake patients may place a psychological burden on them. Aim of this study was to evaluate the psychological distress of patients during awake CSDH relief. Patients with awake evacuation of CSDH via burr hole trepanation were included in our monocentric prospective study. Patient perception and satisfaction were measured using standardized surveys 3-5 days and 6 months after surgery. Among other questionnaires, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression and the Impact of Event Scale, were used to quantify patients' stress. A total of 50 patients (mean age 72.9 years (range 51 - 92)) were included. During surgery, 28 patients reported pain (mean 4.1 (SD 3.3)). Postoperatively, 26 patients experienced pain (mean 2.7 (SD 2.6)). Patients' satisfaction with intraoperative communication was reported with a mean of 8.3 (SD 2.1). There was a significant negative correlation between intraoperatively perceived pain and satisfaction with intraoperative communication (p = 0.023). Good intraoperative communication during evacuation of CSDH in awake patients is associated with positive patient perception and correlates with pain reduction.

A Preoperative Scoring System to Predict Function-Based Resection Limitation Due to Insufficient Participation During Awake Surgery. Neurosurgery 2023; 93:678-690. [PMID: 37018385 DOI: 10.1227/neu.0000000000002477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Failure in achieving a function-based resection related to the insufficient patient's participation is a drawback of awake surgery. OBJECTIVE To assess preoperative parameters predicting the risk of patient insufficient intraoperative cooperation leading to the arrest of the awake resection. METHODS Observational, retrospective, multicentric cohort analysis enrolling 384 (experimental dataset) and 100 (external validation dataset) awake surgeries. RESULTS In the experimental data set, an insufficient intraoperative cooperation occurred in 20/384 patients (5.2%), leading to awake surgery failure in 3/384 patients (ie, no resection, 0.8%), and precluded the achievement of the function-based resection in 17/384 patients (ie, resection limitation, 4.4%). The insufficient intraoperative cooperation significantly reduced the resection rates (55.0% vs 94.0%, P < .001) and precluded a supratotal resection (0% vs 11.3%, P = .017). Seventy years or older, uncontrolled epileptic seizures, previous oncological treatment, hyperperfusion on MRI, and mass effect on midline were independent predictors of insufficient cooperation during awake surgery ( P < .05). An Awake Surgery Insufficient Cooperation score was then assessed: 96.9% of patients (n = 343/354) with a score ≤2 presented a good intraoperative cooperation, while only 70.0% of patients (n = 21/30) with a score >2 presented a good intraoperative cooperation. In the experimental data set, similar date were found: 98.9% of patients (n = 98/99) with a score ≤2 presented a good cooperation, while 0% of patients (n = 0/1) with a score >2 presented a good cooperation. CONCLUSION Function-based resection under awake conditions can be safely performed with a low rate of insufficient patient intraoperative cooperation. The risk can be assessed preoperatively by a careful patient selection.

Neurosurgery 2023; 92:225-240. [PMID: 36580643 DOI: 10.1227/neu.0000000000002224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Awake craniotomy (AC) enables real-time monitoring of cortical and subcortical functions when lesions are in eloquent brain areas. AC patients are exposed to various preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative stressors, which might affect their mental health. OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review to better understand stress, anxiety, and depression in AC patients. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched from January 1, 2000, to April 20, 2022, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline. RESULTS Four hundred forty-seven records were identified that fit our inclusion and exclusion criteria for screening. Overall, 24 articles consisting of 1450 patients from 13 countries were included. Sixteen studies (66.7%) were prospective, whereas 8 articles (33.3%) were retrospective. Studies evaluated stress, anxiety, and depression during different phases of AC. Twenty-two studies (91.7%) were conducted on adults, and 2 studies were on pediatrics (8.3 %). Glioma was the most common AC treatment with 615 patients (42.4%). Awake-awake-awake and asleep-awake-asleep were the most common protocols, each used in 4 studies, respectively (16.7%). Anxiety was the most common psychological outcome evaluated in 19 studies (79.2%). The visual analog scale and self-developed questionnaire by the authors (each n = 5, 20.8%) were the most frequently tools used. Twenty-three studies (95.8%) concluded that AC does not increase stress, anxiety, and/or depression in AC patients. One study (4.2%) identified younger age associated with panic attack. CONCLUSION In experienced hands, AC does not cause an increase in stress, anxiety, and depression; however, the psychiatric impact of AC should not be underestimated.
