AB  - OBJECTIVE: The postoperative period is critical in neurosurgical patients, where 
      the incidence of postoperative AEs is significantly high. Most of events occurs 
      during recovery phase and has got relation to anaesthetic management. The 
      objective of study was to determine frequency of early AEs in elective 
      neurosurgical patients. METHODS: This cross sectional study was conducted at our 
      tertiary care center. The duration of study was one year, from August 2017-July 
      2018. The data was collected using predesigned proforma. The assessment was done 
      on arrival in recovery room (T1) and then at forty five minutes (T2), 
      twenty-fourth hour (T3) and forty-eighth hour (T4) postoperatively. RESULTS: 
      Total ninety-five patients were included. Overall, five hundred and forty AEs 
      were recorded at T1, T2, T3 and T4. Anaesthesia related events like pain, 
      postoperative sore throat, hoarseness, shivering and hypothermia were the 
      commonest (73%). There was a gradual decline in incidence of these events over 
      period of 48 hours. There was no effect of age, sex, BMI and blood loss on 
      incidence of AEs. CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative pain, PONV and shivering were 
      frequently reported AEs. We did not identify the impact of age, sex, BMI, 
      comorbid or type of surgery in terms of having these events.
