Nursing care for patients after 4cm acoustic neuroma surgery includes condition monitoring, maintaining lateral position, and keeping the airway open.
Postoperative patients of 4cm acoustic neuroma are mostly in coma state, so we should closely monitor the vital signs and notify the doctor in time if there is any abnormality; we should keep the patients lying on the side to prevent aspiration and reduce cerebral edema; because the surgery may damage the swallowing function and unable to expel sputum on their own, we should pay attention to ensure that the patient’s respiratory tract is smooth; the patients may also have the situation of incomplete eyelid closing, so the patients should wrap the eyes with gauze, and avoid contacting with the bright light.
Besides, the daily dietary care of patients after 4cm acoustic neuroma surgery is also very important. Daily diet should be kept light, and no stimulating food should be eaten. The patient should check the temperature of the food before eating to avoid burning the patient’s esophagus.
Proper dietary care is also very important for the recovery of patients after 4cm acoustic neuroma surgery.
