Cerebrospinal fluid leak after brain tumor surgery
This project will look at adults having planned supratentorial craniotomy for intracranial tumors to see how often cerebrospinal fluid leaks occur and what complications they cause.
-
Pre-op ultrasound of the IVC and aorta to predict blood pressure drops after anesthesia
We will see if simple pre-op ultrasound measurements of the IVC collapsibility and the caval–aorta index can predict which adults having elective craniotomy will have a drop in blood pressure when general anesthesia is started.
-
Comparing dexmedetomidine and bupivacaine for pain management after brain surgery
This study is testing if adding dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine can help reduce pain better after brain surgery compared to using bupivacaine alone.
-
Improving cranial flap fixation with a bioresorbable adhesive
This study is testing a new glue made from natural materials to see if it safely helps keep skull pieces in place after brain surgery.
-
Observational study on surgical treatments for acute epidural hematoma
This study looks at different surgical treatments for people in China with acute epidural hematoma after a brain injury to see which methods work best.
