E-CRANIO Trial Study on Elective CRAniotomies: Postoperative Neurointensive Care, Imaging and Outcome
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Elective Craniotomy Patients for Craniotomy and Postoperative Complications. Completed, enrolled 1,969 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.
