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.
右美托咪定已被批准用于在重症监护环境中提供镇静作用，在清醒开颅手术期间也会使用，以促进诸如皮质图谱绘制等操作。在此，我们描述了右美托咪定在清醒开颅手术期间作为抢救药物的使用情况，避免转为全身麻醉，从而得以完成皮质图谱绘制。
