<jats:title>Background</jats:title>
<jats:p>Several meta-analyses comparing the outcome of awake versus asleep deep brain stimulation procedures could not reveal significant differences concerning the postoperative improvement of motor symptoms. Only rarely information on the procedural details is provided for awake operations and how often somnolence and disorientation occurred, which might hamper the reliability of intraoperative clinical testing. The aim of our study was to investigate possible influencing factors on the occurrence of somnolence and disorientation in awake DBS procedures.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Methods</jats:title>
<jats:p>We retrospectively analyzed 122 patients with Parkinson's disease having received implantation of a DBS system at our centre. Correlation analyses were performed for the duration of disease prior to surgery, number of microelectrode trajectories, AC-PC-coordinates of the planned target, UPDRS-scores, intraoperative application of sedative drugs, duration of the surgical procedure, perioperative application of apomorphine, and the preoperative L-DOPA equivalence dosage with the occurrence of intraoperative somnolence and disorientation.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Results</jats:title>
<jats:p>Patients with intraoperative somnolence were significantly older (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic>=0.039). Increased duration of the DBS procedure (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic>=0.020), delayed start of the surgery (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic>=0.049), higher number of MER trajectories (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic>=0.041), and the patients’ % UPDRS improvement (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic>=0.046) also correlated with the incidence of intraoperative somnolence. We identified the main contributing factor to intraoperative somnolence as the use of sedative drugs applied during skin incision and burr hole trepanation (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic>=0.019). Perioperatively applied apomorphine could reduce the occurrence of somnolent phases during the operation (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic>=0.026).</jats:p>

<jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title>
<jats:p>Several influencing factors were found to seemingly increase the risk of intraoperative somnolence and disorientation, while the use of sedative drugs seems to be the main contributing factor. We argue that awake DBS procedures should omit the use of sedatives for best clinical outcome. When reporting on awake DBS surgery these factors should be considered and adjusted for, to permit reliable interpretation and comparison of DBS study results.</jats:p>
