PRICE Survey Of Extubation Following Infratentorial Craniotomy

Completed

• Conditions: Infratentorial Neoplasms
• Interventions: Other: Survey

• Registration Number: NCT05192733
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois

Brief Summary

The PRICE study primarily aims to identify predictors of early extubation following elective infratentorial craniotomy in adults. It also aims to (i) measure the rate of early extubation in different clinical settings; and (ii) study how the decision to extubate early is made and communicated in clinical practice. The first phase of the study (PRICE1) is a brief online survey addressed to physicians in charge of neurosurgical patients (neuroanesthesiologists, neurosurgeons, neurocritical care specialists) in multiple countries.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Clinical Setting	Survey	We will compare responses across the following clinical settings: 1. Cities 2. Countries 3. Number of cases per year
Clinical Specialty	Survey	We will compare responses across the following clinical specialties : 1. Neuroanesthesiologists 2. Neurosurgeons 3. Neurocritical care specialists NB: Some participants may have a double clinical specialty.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Prevalence of early extubation	3 months	Percentage of patients being extubated early, as estimated by responders. Early extubation is defined as extubation at the end of surgery, in the operating room, prior to discharge to recovery or intensive care.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Personnel perceived to make the decision to extubate early	3 months	Participants to the survey can select 1 or several of the following options: Anesthesiologist Neurosurgeon Neurocritical care physician
Inventory of perceived main predictors of early extubation	3 months	Participants to the survey can select up to 3 of the following options: Survey options are: Patient's level of consciousness Evidence of brainstem dysfunction Patient's physical status prior to surgery History or suspicion of difficult airway Preoperative imaging Duration of surgery Course of surgery Time of day when surgery ends Other (to be completed by responder)
