  • Title: Dexmedetomidine as rescue drug during awake craniotomy for cortical motor mapping and tumor resection.
    Author: Moore TA, Markert JM, Knowlton RC.
    Journal: Anesth Analg; 2006 May; 102(5):1556-8. PubMed ID: 16632841.
    Abstract:
    Dexmedetomidine, approved for providing sedation in the critical care environment, is also used during awake craniotomies to facilitate procedures such as cortical mapping. Herein, we describe the use of dexmedetomidine as a rescue drug during awake craniotomy avoiding conversion to general anesthesia, thus allowing completion of cortical mapping.
