Abstract

Deep brain stimulation is an increasingly common treatment for Parkinson’s disease and other disorders. The procedure involves placement of electrodes into appropriate brain locations for clinical testing and connection to an implanted stimulator. This tutorial will review current anaesthetic techniques and recommendations for insertion and management of deep brain stimulators.
