Effects of Single Dose of Dexamethasone on Perioperative Blood Glucose Levels in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Supratentorial Tumors - An Observational Study.

Introduction: Dexamethasone is commonly administered in intracranial tumors to reduce the cerebral edema. Its administration may be associated with hyperglycemia. The primary objective of this study was to study the magnitude of rise in blood sugar levels following the administration of a single 10 mg dose of dexamethasone.

Our Experience with Management and Outcome of Isolated Traumatic Brain Injury Patients Admitted in Intensive Care Unit.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability throughout the world. Commonly used predictors of outcome both individually or in combination include age, Glasgow Coma Scale score, pupillary reactivity, early hypoxia, and hypotension. Most of the studies previously done to examine risk factors for mortality in severe TBI were done in the setting of polytrauma.
