Measure
Conventional 1:1 Oxygen/Air Gas Mixture
39 patients received ventilation during the surgery with a 1:1 oxygen / air gas mixture
Pure Oxygen Ventilation
31 patients received controlled ventilation with a conventional 1:1 oxygen / air gas mixture during the approach and tumor removal phases. Once tumor resection was completed and hemostasis started, this group of patients was switched to ventilation with pure oxygen (FiO2 = 100%) until extubation

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: preoperative to postoperative day 3

Changes in Neurological Outcomes from baseline (preoperative evaluation) were documented based on differences (if any) found between both physical examinations: baseline (before surgery) and postoperative day (POD) 3 neurological exam. Results were reported as "improvement" (partial or total recovery of baseline neurological signs/symptoms), "no changes", and "deterioration" (focal or global neurological deterioration) in comparison with baseline neurological examination
