Deep brain stimulation under general anaesthesia for Parkinson's disease: A retrospective evaluation of perioperative events and anaesthetic management after switching away from conscious sedation
Patients with Parkinson's disease who are refractory to standard drug therapy may benefit from the implantation of deep-brain stimulating electrodes. In this report, imaging-guided electrode implantation under general anaesthesia was associated with fewer adverse perioperative events as well as shorter procedure times, compared to implantation guided by intraoperative electrode recording and stimulation under conscious sedation. Since imaging- and stimulation-guided implantation confers equal long-term benefits to motor function, the results from the current study suggest that general anaesthesia and imaging-guided implantation represent an overall quality improvement for these patients.
