dc.descriptionThere is a historical and widespread belief that patients have minimal pain post-craniotomy. However, studies show that post-craniotomy analgesia is frequently suboptimal, with pain often not assessed. Besides patient discomfort, uncontrolled post-craniotomy pain can increase the risk of acute complications such as hypertension, agitation and vomiting, delayed recovery, increased length of hospital stay, increased mortality, and healthcare costs. Some of these symptoms can be particularly deleterious in neurosurgical patients as they can mimic, obscure, and increase the risk of neurosurgical complications, like raised intracranial pressure and intracranial haemorrhage.en_US
