Summary
Investigators invite you to the research titled "Evaluation of Serum Electrolyte Imbalance in Geriatric Patients Undergoing Brain Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Observational Study" conducted by Specialist Nurse Tülin KURT ALKAN. Before participant decide whether or not to participate in this research, you need to know why and how the research will be conducted. For this reason, it is of great importance to read and understand this form. Take the time to read the information below carefully.
