Extubation and emergence from anesthesia lead to systemic and cerebral hemodynamic changes that can cause cerebral edema and hemorrhage. The hemodynamic profile on emergence is more favorable if a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is inserted before neurosurgical patients emerge from anesthesia. We aimed to compare the impact of awakening neurosurgery patients after insertion of a ProSeal LMA to replace the endotracheal tube (ETT).
