Syringomyelia care

After syringomyelia surgery, care is required, and the nursing measures are as follows: 1. You cannot eat before you wake up from anesthesia, that is, temporarily avoid drinking and eating within 24h after surgery, so as to avoid nausea, vomiting or choking and mis-aspiration caused by patients who have not fully awakened from anesthesia. After the surgery, the patient usually needs to stay in bed for 12-24 hours, and after the patient wakes up from anesthesia, the patient can move around on the ground or moderate bed activities, which should be decided according to the patient’s pain tolerance and the degree of minimally invasive surgery. 2. Generally, there is no need to wear a drainage tube, but in a very small number of patients who cannot urinate after surgery, a catheter should be placed if necessary, and the escort should pay attention to recording the urine volume of the drainage tube and Observe the nature of the urine color of the drainage tube, such as the presence of bleeding or changes in pus urine. For patients who do not want to insert a urinary catheter can use hot water for external application to the lower abdomen, but must wait until the patient’s sensation is completely restored before local hot compresses can be applied, otherwise it may cause skin scalding changes.3. Pay attention to observe whether the gauze wrapped around the wound has blood or oozing, if there is oozing promptly ask the doctor to change the medication.
