Intraoperative neuromonitoring is standard in complex cases. We use somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) and motor evoked potentials (MEPs) to track spinal cord and brain pathway function in real time. Often, the signals from electrodes placed along the scalp and limbs tell us something is changing before the surgeon can visually detect it.
In awake craniotomy procedures, where patients are partially conscious to help map eloquent brain areas, neuroanesthesia becomes even more nuanced. Keeping someone comfortable, cooperative, and neurologically assessable simultaneously is a skill that develops over years of practice.
For emergency cases, acute stroke with large vessel occlusion, traumatic brain injury with raised intracranial pressure, the anesthesia approach shifts entirely. Speed, pressure management, and neuroprotection become simultaneous priorities. Our experienced specialists offer the safest neurosurgical anesthesia in Navi Mumbai at UMC Hospitals.
