Conditions

Brain Tumor, Seizures (Incl Subtypes)

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between magnesium sulphate administration and levels of S100B protein in serum of patients undergoing supratentorial brain parenchymal resection.

Interventions

DRUGMagnesium Sulfate

At the beginning of the neurosurgery, the subjects are going to receive one 4gr bolus in Sodium Chloride 100 mL, lasting 20 minutes, intravenously. After that, a intravenously perfusion of Magnesium Sulfate 20 gr, in Sodium Chloride 1000 mL, lasting 24 hours, will be started.

OTHERSodium Chloride

At the beginning of the neurosurgery, the subjects are going to receive a bolus of Sodium Chloride 100 mL, lasting 20 minutes, intravenously. After that, a intravenously perfusion of Sodium Chloride 1000 mL, lasting 24 hours, will be started.
