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. If participant want, discuss this information with participant' family and/or relatives. If there are things that participant do not understand and are not clear to participant, or if participant want more information, please ask investigators. For the purpose of the research, questions such as the patient's age, gender, chronic diseases, mechanism of injury, surgical procedure will be asked. Other data include Glaskow Coma Scale score, ASA class, cardiopulmonary resuscitation history, patient's day of stay in intensive care, number of intubated patient days, blood sugar, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, urea, creatinine, serum sodium, serum potassium, serum calcium, serum chloride, serum magnesium, serum phosphorus, albumin value, as well as from participant's file/systemic data such as patient's follow-up it will be taken. According to the course of the interview, it will take about 5 minutes. With the information to be obtained in line with the interviews to be held with participant, "Evaluation of Serum Electrolyte Imbalances in Geriatric Patients Undergoing Brain Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Observational Study" will be attempted. Participation in the research is completely voluntary. If participants want to at any time while the research is ongoing, participants can leave the research provided that participants inform the responsible researcher. Participants answering the questionnaire will be interpreted as giving your consent to participate in the research.

Who is studied

The study group included geriatric patients: with and without surgery. G\*Power software (version 3.1.9.7) was used for power analysis and 60 patients were included in the study. To ensure the relevance of the data, the study included patients within the first 24 hours after trauma and the first 24 hours of hospitalization. Neurological patients with or without neurosurgery, aged 65 years and older, who volunteered to participate were included in the study. Patients with chronic renal failure and heart failure using diuretics were not included in the study.
