Blood Viscosity and Outcomes After Elective Brain Surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective observational study at a single tertiary center exploring if intraoperative blood viscosity and related blood parameters are associated with cerebral oxygenation and postoperative outcomes after elective intracranial craniotomy. Adult patients undergoing elective brain surgery will have intraoperative viscosity and hematologic measures collected, along with monitoring of cerebral oxygenation, to identify potential links with complications. The goal is to improve understanding of perioperative blood flow and identify risk markers for adverse outcomes. Findings may inform perioperative management and future research in neurosurgical patients.
