How to take care of a meningioma after surgery

After meningioma surgery, it is necessary to carry out position placement, keep the airway open, monitor the condition, wound care and so on. 1. Positioning: general anesthesia patients who are not awake need to take the lying position, with the head tilted to one side, which can prevent vomiting and asphyxia. After the patient regained consciousness, the head of the bed needs to be elevated 15-30 degrees, which can help promote the venous return of the head, and can have the effect of reducing intracranial pressure. 2. Keep the respiratory tract open: to keep the respiratory tract open, help the patient to remove respiratory secretions in time, for patients with sputum, need to be timely suctioning, in addition to regular turning and patting the back every day. 3. Condition monitoring: we need to pay attention to the patient’s pupil, conscious state, vital signs change, if the patient has consciousness disorder or abnormal vital signs, we need to notify the doctor in time for treatment. 4. Wound care: keep the wound clean after surgery, avoid touching water to prevent infection.
