EARLY RECOVERY AFTER BRAIN SURGERY

Completed
Conditions
Malignant neoplasm of brain, unspecified,
Registration Number
CTRI/2018/04/013247
Lead Sponsor
AIIMS Bhubaneswar
Brief Summary

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols have already being established in the field of gastro- enterology and and urological surgeries. Though ERAS guidelines for neurosurgery exist ,no study has been conducted so far to evaluate the implementation of ERAS protocols to neurosurgeries. Here we attempt to implement ERAS protocols  starting from preoperative councelling , carbohydrate preloading , preemptive analgesia , scalp block and scalp infiltration , near zero fluid balance , temperature and glycemic monitoring ,restricted intra and postoperative use of opiods and encouraging removal of unwanted drains and cathethers to 31 cases of supratentorial space occupying lesions posted for elective craniotomies and compare with 31 matched controls done under conventional protocols. The comparison will be made on the basis of length of duration of stay in the ICU , post operative pain scores , post operative glycemic status and overall length of stay in hospital .This will be a prospective cohort study and will give an insight as to the efficacy of ERAS programs with neurosurgery.
