The goals of postoperative management include prevention of secondary brain injury and taking care of the major organ systems till the time patient recovers from the primary insult. Postsurgery, patients may be shifted to a neurosurgical intensive care unit or managed in a neurosurgical ward. As a general rule, all patients should be nursed 30-de… Show more

“…Algunos ejemplos son: Fístulas de líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) postraumáticas o posquirúrgicas en la zona dorsal o lumbar, cuyo reposo absoluto debe hacerse con la cabecera a 0º para evitar el efecto de la gravedad en la perpetuación de la fístula (32,33) . Paciente con hipertensión intracraneal: aunque en la gran mayoría de los procedimientos quirúrgicos intracraneales se hace la recomendación de mantener la cabecera de la cama a 30 grados (34) , en algunas ocasiones la neuromonitorización que está evaluando la relación entre la presión intracraneal, el flujo sanguíneo y la oxigenación cerebral (35) requiere de una posición con la cabecera plana cuando el flujo sanguíneo cerebral se ve comprometido por la elevación de la cabecera.…”
