Effect of Vitamin C on Postoperative Pulmonary Complications After Intracranial Tumor Surgery
China86 participantsStarted 2024-06-01
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of perioperative administration of vitamin C on postoperative pulmonary complications, with the aim of providing a safe and effective medication regimen for the prevention and treatment of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing surgery for craniocerebral tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. To determine whether vitamin C can reduce pulmonary complications after surgery for intracranial tumors.
2. Does intraoperative vitamin C improve the prognosis of surgical patients
Researchers will compare vitamin C to a placebo (saline) to see if vitamin C is effective for postoperative lung complications in patients undergoing surgery for cranial tumors.
1. Participants will be intravenously pumped with vitamin C for two hours after induction of anesthesia.
2. Participants will have intraoperative plasma sampling and recording of ventilator parameters, monitor parameters and perioperative data.
3. Participants will be followed up until discharge from the hospital to record symptoms and adverse events, and will be called at six months to check on their prognosis.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
