Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) procedures, headache is a frequent symptom and cause of treatment discontinuation. Herein, we assessed the efficacy of scalp nerve block (SNB) for alleviating headache during MRgFUS procedures. METHODS The effect of SNB on intraprocedural headache was examined by retrospectively comparing 2 patient cohorts at a single institution. During the study period from April 2020 to February 2022, an SNB protocol for all patients with a skull density ratio ≤0.55 was instituted on October 6, 2021. The number of patients with a skull density ratio ≤0.55 was 34 before the protocol and 36 afterward. Headache intensity was evaluated using a numerical rating scale (NRS) after each sonication. To evaluate the effect of SNB on headache intensity, multiple regression analysis was performed per patient and per sonication. In the per-patient analysis, the effect of SNB was evaluated using the maximum NRS, mean NRS, and NRS at the first ultrasound exposure that reached 52.5°C. In the per-sonication analysis, the effect of SNB was evaluated not only for the entire sonication but also for sonications classified into ≤9999 J, 10 000 to 29 999 J, and ≥30 000 J energy doses. RESULTS With SNB, headache alleviation was observed in the NRS after the first sonication that reached 52.5°C in each patient (β = -2.40, 95% CI -4.05 to -0.758, P = .00499), in the NRS when all sonications were evaluated (β = -0.647, 95% CI -1.19 to -0.106, P = .0201), and in the NRS when all sonications were classified into 10 000 to 29 999 J (β = -1.83, 95% CI -3.17 to -0.485, P = .00889). CONCLUSION SNB significantly reduced headache intensity during MRgFUS, especially that caused by sonication with a moderate-energy dose. These findings suggest that scalp nerves play a role in headache mechanisms during MRgFUS.

Abstract
Awake craniotomy (AC) is a neurosurgical procedure that may be used to excise tumors located in eloquent areas of the brain. The techniques and outcomes of AC have been extensively described, but data on patient-reported experiences are not as well known. To determine these, we performed a scoping review of patient-reported intraoperative experiences during awake craniotomy for brain tumor resection. A total of 21 articles describing 534 patients were included in the review. Majority of the studies were performed on adult patients and utilized questionnaires and interviews. Some used additional qualitative methodology such as grounded theory and phenomenology. Most of the evaluation was performed within the first 2 weeks post-operatively. Recollection of the procedure ranged from 0 to 100%, and most memories dealt with the cranial fixation device application, cranial drilling, and intraoperative mapping. All patients reported some degree of pain and discomfort, mainly due to the cranial fixation device and uncomfortable operative position. Most patients were satisfied with their AC experience. They felt that participating in AC gave them a sense of control over their disease and thought that trust in the treatment team and adequate pre-operative preparation were very important. Patients who underwent AC for brain tumor resection had both positive and negative experiences intraoperatively, but overall, majority had a positive perception of and high levels of satisfaction with AC. Successful AC depends not only on a well-conducted intraoperative course, but also on adequate pre-operative information and patient preparation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intraoperative anxiety is the most common psychological response of the patient during awake craniotomy. Psychological stress can trigger patient decline, resulting in failed awake craniotomy and significantly poor outcomes. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for panic attack (PA) during awake craniotomies. METHODS With the local ethics committee approval, we conducted a manual chart review of the medical record of patients who underwent consecutive awake craniotomies between November 1999 and October 2016 at Tokyo Women's Medical University. A total of 405 patients were identified and assigned to 2 groups based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-V criteria: those that met the PA criteria (Group PA) and those that did not (Group non-PA). Patient characteristics and the incidence of the PA specifier were collected. The features of the two groups were statistically compared, and risk factors for PA occurrence were determined by regression analysis. RESULTS Sixteen of 405 patients met the diagnostic criteria of PA. Patients' characteristics were not statistically different between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression showed that intraoperative anxiety (p = 0.0002) and age younger than 39 years (as opposed to age > = 39 years; p = 0.0328) were significantly associated with the occurrence of PA during awake craniotomy. CONCLUSIONS For patients undergoing awake craniotomy, intraoperative anxiety and age younger than 39 years were considered risk factors of PA. As PA often necessitates conversion to general anesthesia, intensive perioperative psychological support and pain management are required to achieve patient satisfaction and the surgical goal of awake craniotomy.

Abstract
The anesthesia for awake craniotomy (AC) is a consecrated anesthetic technique that has been perfected over the years. Initially used to map epileptic foci, it later became the standard technique for the removal of glial neoplasms in eloquent brain areas. We present an AC anesthesia technique consisting of three primordial times, called awake-asleep-awake, and their respective particularities, as well as delve into the anesthetic medications used. Its use in patients with low and high-grade gliomas was favorable for the resection of tumors within the functional boundaries of patients, with shorter hospital stay and lower direct costs. The present study aims to systematize the technique based on the experience of the largest philanthropic hospital in Latin America and discusses the most relevant aspects that have consolidated this technique as the most appropriate in the surgery of gliomas in eloquent areas.

Abstract
Awake craniotomy (AC) has gained fantastic popularity over the past years. This approach is no longer the destiny of only highly specialized neurosurgical centers. Technical features of AC are completely developed. However, certain aspects of patients' sensations and their satisfaction are still unclear. The review is devoted to these issues. It was shown that AC is positively evaluated by the vast majority of patients. Many patients would choose this technique for redo surgery. However, there are certain important details that can adversely affect satisfaction of patients. Thus, these features should be considered in AC.

Abstract
Awake craniotomy is a gold standard of care for resection of brain tumors located within or close to the eloquent areas. Both asleep-awake-asleep technique and monitored anesthesia care have been used effectively for awake craniotomy and the choice of optimal anesthetic approach is primarily based on the preferences of the anesthesiologist and surgical team. Propofol, remifentanil, dexmedetomidine, and scalp nerve block provide the reliable conditions for intraoperative brain mapping. Appropriate patient selection, adequate perioperative psychological support, and proper anesthetic management for individual patients in each stage of surgery are crucial for procedural safety, success, and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Awake surgery has become a key treatment of diffuse low-grade gliomas (DLGG) and is divided in three main phases: opening, tumor resection - during which the patient needs to be fully awake - and closure. The anesthetic management of awake neurosurgery is a challenge, and there are currently no guidelines. OBJECTIVE The objective of the survey was to explore differences and commonalities regarding the anesthetic management of awake DLGG surgery within the European Low-Grade Glioma Network (ELGGN) centers. METHODS A form that contained 14 questions about the anesthetic management was sent to 28 centers in May 2015. RESULTS Twenty centers responded. During the opening and closing non-awake periods, 56% of teams chose general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation for at least one period (asleep-awake-asleep, SAS protocol), and 44% monitored anesthesia care including sedation without mechanical ventilation (MAC protocol). In case of SAS, all the teams chose intravenous anesthesia, 82% used laryngeal mask instead of endotracheal intubation during the opening sequence, and 71% during closure. Local and regional anesthesia was practiced by all the teams. The most frequently reported cause of pain was dural and cerebral vessels manipulation (77%). Pain management was mostly based on paracetamol (70%) and remifentanil (55%). CONCLUSION Our survey showed that there was an equivalent proportion of centers using SAS or MAC protocols in the anesthetic management of awake surgery in ELGGN centers. The advantages and disadvantages of each anesthesia protocol were reviewed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The current review reports on current trends in the anesthetic management of awake craniotomy, including preoperative preparation, sedation schemes, pain management, and prevention of intraoperative complications. RECENT FINDINGS Both approaches for anesthesia for awake craniotomy, asleep-awake-asleep and monitored anesthesia care (MAC), have shown equal efficacy for performing intraoperative brain mapping. Choice of the appropriate scheme is currently based mainly on the preferences of the particular anesthesiologist. Dexmedetomidine has demonstrated high efficacy and safety in MAC for awake craniotomy and has become a rational alternative to propofol. Despite the high efficacy of scalp block and opioids, pain remains a common compliant in awake craniotomy. Appropriate surgical tactics can reduce pain and even prevent postoperative neurological complications. Although the efficacy of prophylaxis of intraoperative seizures with anticonvulsants remains doubtful, levetiracetam can be superior to other drugs for this purpose. SUMMARY Following a great deal of progress in anesthetic management, awake craniotomy, which had been a relatively rare approach, is now a commonly performed procedure for neurosurgical intervention. Modern anesthesia techniques can provide for successful brain mapping in almost any patient. Management of awake craniotomy in high-risk patients is a central task for future research.
