Postoperative period in neurosurgery


Postoperative period neurosurgeryNeurosurgery
is conducted when it is necessary to prevent, treat or diagnose some disorder that affect nervous system. At this brain, peripheral nerves or spinal cord can be involved.

Postanesthetic state - is the early postoperative period, during which certain effects can be revealed. The duration of negative consequences can be different and can range from a few hours to 2-3 days.

In accordance with figures the biggest number of lethal outcomes connected with neurosurgery refer to the early postoperative period and it is associated with anesthesia. And 10% of deaths related to anesthesia occurs during postanesthesia recovery. The most dangerous in this respect is the first hour after surgery.

In the basis of pathogenesis of postanesthetic state lies total hypoxia of central nervous system, inability to regulate cerebral circulation, reduction of gas exchange speed, metabolic disorders (hypo-or hyperglycemia, disturbance of acid-base and water-electrolyte balance, etc.) that lead to inhibition of aerobic metabolism and functions neurons. This reinforces the inhibition of the nerve centers (when the person long goes out from anesthesia), and then leads to delayed recovery because of possible dysfunction of the respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive and excretory systems.)

Complications after the first hour of anesthesia include hypoxemia and respiratory depression, depression of consciousness, disorders of blood circulation (hypo-and hypertension, myocardial dysfunction, arrhythmia) syndrome of chills and muscle tremors. The problems of the first 24 hours after anesthesia - pain, nausea and vomiting, oliguria and dysuria. In neurosurgical operations postanesthetic condition is complicated and is masked with traumatization of the nerve tissue, which complicates the management of patients in the postoperative period.

Neurosurgery and Parkinson's disease treatment is one of the most complicated sections of medicine. Surgery on brain is not only fantastically complicated in itself. The reason for it is that even the most successful surgery becomes a severe stress for the organism. Rehabilitation period after this surgery becomes really a test on endurance for physical and psychological state of the patient.

In this connection the question arises – how to conduct postoperative period in neurosurgery.

There are different approaches applied here:

  • Some specialists offer drugs, injections and other traditional methods. But every medication brings one effect and can entail some side-effects. How it is possible to fight against the stress of the whole organism?
  • Other experts provide system approach. Rehabilitation therapy was developed as an alternative to traditional one. It is good to avoid potential complications that are more frequent during treatment with drugs only. It is beneficial to apply natural therapies without drugs where herbs can be used, hydrotherapy, massage and some other methods.
  • For fast restoration of patients after complicated neurosurgery, stem cell treatment is conducted in some clinics. The patients can restore his health many times quicker. He feels renewed after unique method of stem cell therapy.
