Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and above who are undergoing elective resection of skull base tumors and have a physical status classified as I to III.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe heart or lung diseases, or those unable to complete preoperative cardiac assessments, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on the high incidence of postoperative complications following skull base tumor resections. It aims to evaluate the occurrence of pulmonary complications and lower extremity venous thrombosis in patients undergoing elective surgery. By utilizing pulmonary ultrasound, the study seeks to identify high-risk patients early and improve perioperative management. Data will be collected on the accuracy of lung ultrasound scores in predicting these complications within a week post-surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved early detection and management of postoperative complications, enhancing patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown success in using pulmonary ultrasound for early detection of complications in surgical patients, indicating a promising approach.
