Patients Undergoing Craniotomy for Brain Surgery Clinical Trial
Aim of this prospective observational study -in patients undergoing craniotomy for supra or infratentorial surgery as elective or emergency procedure- is to test the hypothesis that severe intraoperative hyperglycemia (BGC ≥180mg/dl) is associated with an increased incidence of infections within the first postoperative week (pneumonia, blood stream, urinary, surgical site/wound and cerebral infections)(NCT01923571).
