In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The brain is a metabolic active organ with constant energy demands. Brain oxygen supply is secured via cerebral circulation. Brain tumor surgery is commonly associated with the tumor's underlying pathophysiology including brain swelling or edema. During craniotomy for brain tumor resection maintenance of cerebral hemodynamic stability is of paramount importance. Neuroinflammation is also a normal response to trauma, such as in the case of brain tumor surgery. The role of neuroinflammation in postoperative brain function is well documented and the aim is to limit it through an appropriate anesthetic approach. Anesthetic agents used during surgery affect brain homeostasis. The anesthetic agent of choice for neurosurgery should deliver smooth and hemodynamically stable anesthesia, good operating conditions, and allow early neurological assessment. Also, the ideal anesthetic agent should pr
