Study Summary

This randomized clinical trial studies light sedation compared with intubated general anesthesia (a loss of feeling and a complete loss of awareness that feels like a very deep sleep) in reducing complications and length of hospital stay in patients with brain cancer undergoing craniotomy. Craniotomy is an operation in which a piece of the skull is removed so doctors can remove a brain tumor or abnormal brain tissue. Light sedation allows patients to remain awake during their surgery, while intubated general anesthesia puts patients to sleep. Surgery complication rates may be reduced if intubated general anesthesia is avoided. Additionally, patients not receiving intubated general anesthesia tend to recover more quickly after surgery. It is not yet known whether light sedation is better at reducing complications and length of hospital stay compared to intubated general anesthesia.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE Arm I (light sedation)
  • PROCEDURE Arm II (intubated general anesthesia)
