eCRANIO Trial Study on Elective CRAniotomies: Postoperative Neurointensive Care, Imaging and Outcome

NCT01987648 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1969

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Regarding the postoperative care strategies following elective craniotomy procedures there is little evidence. Many neurosurgical departments prefer these patients to remain intubated and sedated for many hours postoperatively to minimize hemodynamic and respiratory distress in fear of early postoperative complications such as rebleeding or seizures. In this prospective observational study the investigators aim to show that early tracheal extubation following elective brain surgery is feasible and safe.
