How to care for patients with spinal stenosis after operation

summary

My husband checked out spinal canal stenosis some time ago. The doctor said that surgical treatment must be carried out. Now he has just finished the operation and is in the period of recuperation. The nursing after the operation is very important. So I'll introduce the post-operative nursing of spinal canal stenosis.

How to care for patients with spinal stenosis after operation

First, there are many kinds of surgical methods for spinal canal stenosis, and laminectomy is one of the most common surgical treatments. However, laminectomy often destroys the stability of vertebral tissue, resulting in a series of serious complications. It is very important to do a good job of preoperative and postoperative nursing when using surgical methods for treatment.

Second: measure the temperature and pulse of patients with spinal stenosis on time, pay attention to the changes of vital signs, and deal with various complications in time. Attention should be paid to the weight, angle of pelvic traction and whether the bed end is raised. We should pay attention to observe the color and temperature of the skin where the patients with spinal stenosis are prone to bedsore, and do a good job in skin care to avoid suffering from bedsore.

Third: after spinal stenosis surgery, postoperative nursing work is also very important for patients with spinal stenosis. Experts said that the ultimate goal of surgical treatment of vertebral stenosis is to make patients recover their function as soon as possible and to the maximum extent. Correct functional exercise is an important link to ensure the surgical treatment of spinal stenosis. After the operation, the rehabilitation nursing of spinal stenosis should follow the principle of early activity and early out of bed.
