What are the care measures for increased intracranial pressure?

The nursing measures for increased intracranial pressure should start with close observation of the patient’s consciousness, pupils, blood pressure, respiration, pulse and temperature changes to grasp the dynamics of the development of the disease. Patients who are in a position to do so can be monitored for intracranial pressure and treatment can be guided according to the pressure information obtained during monitoring. Patients with frequent vomiting should be suspended from eating to prevent aspiration pneumonia, and patients who cannot eat should be given rehydration fluids. The amount of rehydration should maintain the balanced dimension of the incoming and outgoing fluid volume; too much rehydration can aggravate the increase of intracranial pressure.
