Neurosurgical Procedures

05/24/2003 - "pneumoniae are often related to a distant focus of infection or to neurosurgical procedures and, in our experience, they seem to have a good outcome."
08/01/2012 - "Risk factors for neurosurgical site infections after a neurosurgical procedure: a prospective observational study at Hospital Kuala Lumpur."
03/01/2011 - "Of the 18,092 patients who underwent neurosurgical procedures during the study period, 415 patients developed infection. "
07/01/2007 - "The results from this study indicate that the true incidence of PCNSI after neurosurgical procedures may be greatly overestimated in the literature and that, in surgical procedures associated with a high risk of infection, prophylaxis for S. "
07/01/2007 - "In one of the largest neurosurgical studies to have investigated PCNSI, the incidence of infection after neurosurgical procedures was <1%--more than 6 times lower than that reported in recent series of comparable numerical size. "

11/01/2014 - "Important general and neurotrauma-targeted improvements in our trauma service could underlie our findings: A formalised trauma service, damage control resuscitation protocols, structured training, increased helicopter transfer capacity, consultant-based neurosurgical assessment, a doubling of emergency neurosurgical procedures, and improved neurointensive care. "
04/01/2006 - "The novel use of a vacuum-assisted wound closure device was a very useful adjunct in this situation, and may be beneficial in the reconstruction of other patients with large scalp and cranial defects after neurosurgical procedures. "
03/01/1986 - "The purpose of this study was to examine a common neurosurgical procedure (001), craniotomy without trauma, and characterize the cost dynamics of this DRG. "
09/01/2015 - "General surgeons at RDH perform a wide range of emergency neurosurgical procedures primarily for trauma. "
11/01/2014 - "It was found that the initial trauma was most likely sustained at least two weeks before death, whilst a neurosurgical procedure was performed at least one week before death. "

12/01/1994 - "The best treatment of PE is thrombolytic therapy, but the presence of either intracranial neoplasm or recent neurosurgical procedures is considered a major contraindication to this therapy. "
08/01/2014 - "The implementation of duty-hour restrictions correlated with an increased risk of postoperative complications for patients undergoing brain tumor and cerebrovascular neurosurgical procedures. "
03/01/2013 - "Our results suggest that this technology is clinically useful in neurosurgical procedures, particularly for brain tumors close to the brain surface."
01/01/2011 - "Prophylactic AED is not recommended in cases of brain tumor and neurosurgical procedures and if patient is on an AED it can be stopped after 1 week."
10/01/2008 - "Further progress in advanced neurovisualization, robotics, and comprehensive medical information technology has a great potential to increase the safety of the neurosurgical procedures for parenchymal brain tumors in the eloquent brain areas."

02/01/1985 - "It is most feasible to demonstrate the potential efficacy of perioperative antibiotics in clean neurosurgical procedures with the greatest risk of postoperative wound infection. "
03/01/2014 - "The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of betadine irrigation in preventing postoperative wound infection in cranial neurosurgical procedures. "

07/01/1977 - "The recent advent of the multidisciplinary approach to the management of pain, including neurosurgical procedures, new drugs, electrical stimulation and psychosocial intervention, has helped to clarify the indications for, limitations of, and disadvantages of the use of nerve blocks. "
03/01/2006 - "This is the first observational study to compare perioperative pain character and intensity in patients undergoing different types of elective neurosurgical procedures. "
04/01/1994 - "With the support of the Section on Pain, this consensus development process will continue in order to refine the application and study of neurosurgical procedures for pain."
04/01/1994 - "Twenty-two experts in the field attended this 2-day conference to consolidate our understanding of the role of neurosurgical procedures in pain management and to review critically the methodologies for clinical studies. "
12/01/1992 - "In this study, we have reviewed both the early medical writings of various civilizations and the first modern publications, to compile a history of neurosurgical procedures for the relief of pain."
