SANCHEZ-TORRES, Claudia; MENDOZA-POPOCA, Cecilia Úrsula; SUAREZ-MORALES, Mario  and  RODRIGUEZ-REYES, Joel. Airway approach in the neurosurgical patient. Rev. mex. anestesiol. [online]. 2021, vol.44, n.4, pp.272-276.  Epub Oct 11, 2021. ISSN 0484-7903.  https://doi.org/10.35366/100872.

The approach to the airway in the neurosurgical patient presents great challenges due to the complex scenario we face; we must consider the patient’s own characteristics, the co-morbidities present and the neurological pathology for which it is going to be intervened. Knowing the neurological pathology and the implications or repercussions that this may have over the management of the airway will help decision making and manage the challenges and scenarios that could arise during the anesthetic surgical event.

Keywords : Craniotomy; awake craniotomy; spinal trauma; airway.
