It honestly all depends on what the surgery is for and whether it is an elective surgery or if it is for a life and death situation. If is elective, then you want their labs to be WNL if possible, but if it is a life and death situation then lab values tend to go out a window to a point. They can give blood in OR for a low H&H. There really is no difference between lab values for neuro than for general surgery that I am aware of.
