General treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment can be considered for edema after meningioma surgery, and the specific treatment plan should be formulated in combination with the situation of edema.
1. General treatment: closely monitor the patient’s pupil size, light reflex and changes of vital signs such as respiration, heart rate and blood pressure; pay attention to the patient’s nursing care and actively prevent complications such as decubitus ulcers and lung infections.
2. Drug treatment: If the patient has obvious cerebral edema and clinical signs of increased intracranial pressure, consider giving dehydrating drugs to reduce intracranial pressure and prevent cerebral herniation, commonly used drugs include mannitol, glycerol fructose, etc., which should be used reasonably according to the doctor’s instructions.
3. Surgical treatment: if the brain edema is serious and there is already a tendency of brain hernia formation such as midline displacement, then decompression surgery with debridement can be considered.
The specific treatment plan of post-surgical edema of meningioma should be analyzed by the doctor in combination with the actual situation of the patient, and the treatment should be standardized according to the doctor’s instruction.
