What are the preoperative and postoperative precautions for traumatic brain injury surgery?
Disease description:
I recently underwent surgery for traumatic brain injury. I would like to know what precautions should be taken before and after the surgery.
Preoperative and postoperative注意事项 for craniocerebral injury are as follows:
1. Preoperative:
- Clear the airway to prevent aspiration pneumonia;
- Stabilize blood pressure, maintain a quiet environment, and administer high-dose mannitol to patients with brain herniation to reduce intracranial pressure;
- Perform timely catheterization and preoperative skin preparation;
- Medical staff should comfort the family members, communicate with them, provide counseling, obtain informed consent signatures, and promptly coordinate with relevant departments to ensure adequate personnel, equipment, and blood supply.
2. Postoperative:
- Transfer the patient to the ICU for further analgesia and sedation;
- Maintain patent airway and urinary tract;
- Stabilize blood pressure and support cardiac function.
