Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare measured values of serum osmolality in neurosurgical patients receiving Normal Saline vs Ringers Lactate during elective craniotomy for Supratentorial tumors at the end of the surgery.Timepoint: After Induction And At the end of surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Brain Relaxation ScoreTimepoint: at dura opening and at closure;Changes in hemodynamic parametersTimepoint: every 15 min from induction.;Comparison of the following parameters from baseline amongst the groups â?¢ Rise in osmolality from baseline in each group â?¢ Serum electrolytes â?¢ pH â?¢ LactateTimepoint: After Induction And At the end of surgery;MRS at dischargeTimepoint: at discharge;Total Blood loss, Blood and blood products infusion.Timepoint: At the end of Surgery;Total urine outputTimepoint: At the end of Surgery;Total volume of fluid (crystalloids and colloids) used.Timepoint: At the end of Surgery
