Craniotomy may be associated with different complications. So, management of patients undergoing craniotomy requires comprehensive care and constant monitoring. Nurses play a vital role in providing care for patients and in minimizing systemic complications & serious neurological consequences that are associated with anesthesia and the surgical procedure (19).
