Response - NO
Brief Summary   Our study proposes a prospective RCT to compare the effects of ketofol versus propofol based anesthesia on emergence from anesthesia in patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial tumors. 
Additionally, we will also be evaluating the intraoperative hemodynamics and brain bulge in these patients and the time taken for extubation and recovery from anesthesia.
This research will provide valuable information related to an optimal maintenance agent for anesthesia in patients undergoing neurosurgery.
