We report the superiority of TCI, which is faster intraoperative awakening for AAA epilepsy surgery.
We reveal, for the first time, that TCI provides better hemodynamics along with secure airway management conditions for AAA epilepsy surgery.
We found that the TCI group had the higher bispectral index score value than the MCI group during the awake phase.
Without more occurrences of adverse events, the TCI technique may be a feasible and effective technique and it might be a viable replacement of the MCI technique for AAA epilepsy surgery.
