Cerebral Hemodynamics and Oxygenation During Brain Tumour Resection: A Comparative Study Between Normal Saline Versus Plasma-Lyte A

of O2, surgical field flooded with saline. Central line (rt subclavian) was inserted and around 20 cc air was aspirated. Associated hypotension was managed with IV fluid boluses, vasopressor and ionotrops and shifted to neurosurgery ICU. Conclusion: Risk of venous air embolism during craniotomy requires high index of suspicion even in supine position though the incidence is very less.
