Abstract: Objective To investigate the current status of anesthesia management of deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation for patients with Parkinson's disease in China, which can provide a reference for optimizing the anesthesia strategy of DBS and improving the prognosis of patients. Methods An online questionnaire was designed utilizing questionnaire‑making software. The questionnaire contained 38 items, including the hospital's name and characteristics, the number of DBS operations, anesthesia methods at different surgical stages, drug selection and airway management, the incidence of postoperative delirium and delayed recovery, etc. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted on the recovered questionnaires. Results A total of 59 questionnaires were collected from 36 tertiary hospitals. At present, the distribution of DBS surgery in our country is uneven. Although many hospitals have performed DBS surgery for more than five years, the number of DBS surgery in different hospitals varies greatly each year. There was also significant diversity in anesthesia management strategies for DBS surgery among medical centers. Conclusions This survey preliminarily reflects the current situation of anesthesia management in DBS surgery in China. Anesthesiologists should understand the characteristics of Parkinson's disease and the particularity of DBS surgery anesthesia management. It is necessary to strengthen the training and academic exchange regarding anesthesia management strategies, promote multicenter collaboration, and develop clinical trials to improve the quality of evidence‑based medicine.
