Increased oxygen administration during awake carotid surgery can reverse neurological deficit following carotid cross-clamping.

We describe the management of two patients undergoing awake carotid surgery who developed signs of cerebral ischaemia following cross-clamping of the internal carotid artery. Administration of oxygen 100% with a close-fitting anaesthetic facemask reversed the neurological deficit, avoiding the need for insertion of an internal carotid artery shunt. Thus, the incidence of shunt insertion, which ...
