Use of Dexmedetomidine as an Adjuvant to Propofol along with Neurophysiological Monitoring of the Seventh Cranial Nerve during Cerebello- Pontine Tumour Excision Surgery [PDF]
Cerebello‑Pontine Angle (CPA) surgeries are very challenging for neurosurgeons as it lies very close to brain stem so various cranial nerves are at risk of damage. Generally, such surgeries require neuromuscular monitoring of various cranial nerves. For
