“…The prone position is routinely used in neurosurgical practice to facilitate access to posterior neuroanatomical structures. 21 Unintentional tracheal extubation is an uncommon but life-threatening complication for patients in the prone position. 22 It is challenging to perform emergency airway management for accidental extubation in a patient in the prone position, and simulation has helped identify effective airway rescue strategies in this scenario.…”

The brain’s sensitivity to fluctuations in physiological parameters demands precise control of anesthesia during neurosurgery, which, combined with the complex nature of neurosurgical procedures and potential for adverse outcomes, makes neuroanesthesia challenging. Neuroanesthesiologists, as perioperative physicians, work closely with neurosurgeons, neurologists, neurointensivists, and neuroradiologists to provide care for patients with complex neurological diseases, often dealing with life-threatening conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors, cerebral aneurysms, and spinal cord injuries. The use of simulation to practice emergency scenarios may have potential for enhancing competency and skill acquisition amongst neuroanesthesiologists. Simulation models, including high-fidelity manikins, virtual reality, and computer-based simulations, can replicate physiological responses, anatomical structures, and complications associated with neurosurgical procedures. The use of high-fidelity simulation can act as a valuable complement to real-life clinical exposure and training in neuroanesthesia.
