(Continued)Recruitment period Different AC groups? Aim /endpoint 01/2008-11/ 2010 The SAS protocol was feasible and relatively safe, despite one case of pulmonary aspiration (without sequel) and 31.8 of difficult oral intubation respectively 14.8 for laryngeal mask insertion. All patients underwent successful AC, intraoperative mapping, and tumour resection with adequate sedation. Dexmedetomidine in combination with RSNB enables an effective and safe anaesthetic technique for AC. Intraoperative seizures were significantly more frequent in patients with tumours located in the SMA region and a history of seizure. RSNB and local infiltrations in combination with metamizole may provide an effective pain Disitertide site control in AC patients. There was no difference between the groups regarding rate of mortality, or complications. However age was associated with increased length of stay. Maximal extent of HGG tumour resection was associated with prolonged survival rate. Except for the surgery time, they did not find any significant statistical difference between the groups. No patient required sedation, only two-thirds of the patients requested remifentanil with a mean of 96 before the end of tumour resection. Hemodynamic reactions were mainly seen during nerve blockades and neurological testing. This approach was considered as “awake-awake-awaketechnique” To report a novel approach of AC based on cranial nerve block, permanent presence of a contact person, psychological guidance and therapeutic communication. To analyse a single surgeon’s experience and the evolving methodology of awake language and sensorimotor mapping for glioma surgery. AC can be safely performed with few complications and a low failure rate, regardless of ASA, Mallampati score, BMI, smoking, psychiatric history, seizure history, or tumour mass effect. Incidence of seizures was associated with preoperative seizure history and tumour location. There was no statistical difference between the used sedation technique and intraoperative seizures, LMA use, kind of tumour, BMI or AC failures. No To evaluate pre- and postoperative.Ize of AC patients Main findingsStudyStudy designAbdou 2010 [17]CS (prospective, 1 centre)Ali 2009 [18]PS (1 centre)1/2007-11/NoTo compare AC technique with GA for excision of low-grade glioma involving eloquent cortex.Amorim 2008 [19] 5/2004?/2009 2010?011 105 Yes (multi-centre trial) To evaluate pain and discomfort during the awake phase of AC. 44 No To retrospectively evaluate the safety of AC in the first AC cases of one institution.CS (1 centre)2001?NoTo assess the safety and effectiveness of AC in regard to the resection size and postoperative neurological outcome.Andersen 2010 [20]CS (1 centre)PLOS ONE | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0156448 May 26,2013 20 No To describe the experience using a language testing work-up for patients with or at risk for language disturbances undergoing AC. 1/2009-1/2014 374 No To analyse the incidence, risk factors and consequences of intraoperative seizures during AC without ECoG.
