For example, tight hemodynamic control and cerebral protection techniques during aneurysm clipping or providing moderate sedation during intracranial tumor resection allow patients to cooperate during speech mapping. Anesthesiologists have suggested numerous dosing regimens to meet these goals. This chapter will briefly summarize a few of those designed for aneurysm clipping and awake procedures for tumor resection.
