GENERAL ANESTHESIA

Awake brain surgery of 5-year-old child was "very challenging for us": AIIMS doctor

It was a brain tumour in a very small child and it was very challenging for us because generally, we do such cases under general anesthesia, which means fully anesthetic patient. But in this case, we used the technique called Awake Craniotomy (Conscious Sedation technique) surgery or sleep awake sleep technique, informed Prof. Mihir Prakash Pandia, Dept of Anaesthesia, AIIMS, who was involved in this record-breaking surgery.
