What is it about?

Use of Mayfield skull clamp during craniotomies; results in a sharp and intense noxious stimulus which results in a severe hemodynamic pressor response. Many strategies have been reported to blunt this undesirable pressor effect. This prospective, double blind, and randomized study is the first to evaluate the effect of MgSo4 on attenuation of hemodynamic pressor activity after head clamp application during craniotomies.

Why is it important?

But this prospective, double blind, and randomized study is the first to evaluate the effect of MgSo4 on attenuation of hemodynamic pressor activity after head clamp application during craniotomies.

Perspectives

I hope this article makes what people might think is a boring, slightly abstract area like health economics and measuring things like health, kind of interesting and maybe even exciting. Because the way we spend money on health and social care is not just a problem for politicians, managers and researchers to worry about - it is an issue that touches every single human being on this planet in one way or another. More than anything else, and if nothing else, I hope you find this article thought-provoking.
