Intravenous steroids (4 mg decadron) and preoperative antibiotics (1–2 g cefazolin) are administered. Anticonvulsants are also administered, either the patient’s home regimen or a dilantin load (15 mg/kg) if not previously on anticonvulsants. If elevated intracranial pressure is a concern, mannitol (1 g/kg) can be administered. Finally, a time-out procedure verifying patient characteristics, tumor side, surgical plan, expected blood loss, and details of the proposed mapping strategy is essential.
