This document summarizes key aspects of anaesthesia for elective neurosurgery. It discusses the importance of maintaining optimal cerebral perfusion pressure and oxygenation. While volatile agents remain popular, studies have found propofol and sevoflurane to be suitable options. Propofol may help reduce intracranial pressure and cerebral blood volume compared to other agents. Awake craniotomy techniques are gaining popularity for removal of brain lesions near eloquent areas to allow for neurological monitoring during the procedure. Advances in minimally invasive techniques continue to offer benefits like reduced trauma and faster recovery times.
