Summary
Inadequate sedation and analgesia indicated by intraoperative movements are markers of
inadequate MAC during burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma evacuation especially
when general anesthesia poses high risk for the patients.
Dexmedetomidine, ketamine, propofol intravenous infusion and other agents was used to provide
monitored anesthesia care with variable success if used as solitary agents as each drug has
its limited use.
