Clinical indicators contributing to I.C.U. length of stay in elective craniotomy patients with brain tumour.
The immediate purposes of this study are (a) to indicate the I. C. U. and hospital length of stay in elective craniotomy patients with brain tumour, and (b) to identify the clinical indicators that contribute to the I. ⋯ C. U. length of stay, and post-op complications. The results of this pilot study, with sample size of 55 patients, could assist us in the nursing profession to develop an appropriate Care Map for craniotomy patients with brain tumour.
