Key points of postoperative nursing for cauda equina nerve injury?

When we encounter the pain caused by cauda equina nerve injury, how to carry out correct and effective nursing has always been a problem that everyone needs to seriously study and discuss. Cauda equina nerve injury is a disease that seriously affects people's normal life. If patients can't face and treat as soon as possible, some patients with serious illness may be paralyzed or permanently irreversible. So for the health of more patients with cauda equina nerve injury, I want to share some nursing measures in daily life for your reference.

1. Drink plenty of water. You can eat some fruits that suit your physique, eat more vegetables, and avoid irritants such as coffee, soda and cigarettes. Proper intake of some drupes, dried fruits, seeds and grains every day is still very good for your health. If you are a patient with cauda equina nerve injury who is taking drugs, you should learn to avoid eating. For some heavy dishes, you should know the importance of keeping your mouth shut. Keep a balanced nutrition and a light diet, but that doesn't mean you can't eat meat or other kinds, just don't be too greasy, too fishy and too cold. There is no need to supplement some nutrition.

2. Eat more oats. Oats are rich in crude fiber, which can regulate the emptying speed of stomach, increase satiety, control appetite, promote intestinal peristalsis, and have therapeutic effects on constipation and edema. Oats are also rich in vitamins, such as vitamin b 1, vitamin E, vitamin b2, nicotinic acid and folic acid. It plays a partial auxiliary role in improving the overall condition of nerves. It is a healthy diet suitable for patients with cauda equina syndrome, and also has the functions of regulating blood sugar, improving constipation and controlling weight.

3. Pay attention to the scheme of keeping warm. Patients with cauda equina nerve injury are generally uncomfortable in the cold season, especially in the cold winter, so be sure to keep warm at the lumbar spine, otherwise it will easily lead to aggravation or recurrence. Patients with ponytail syndrome are not better than those with healthy constitution in blood conduction, and their coolness is profound. Severe cases may also cause rheumatic bone diseases such as rheumatism or arthritis. Therefore, patients should know how to keep the back, buttocks, sacrococcygeal and perineum warm in the cold and cool solar terms, so as to greatly reduce the possibility of this discomfort.

4. For patients with cauda equina syndrome who meet the surgical indications, they should know that they need to stay in bed for a long time after operation. Then this kind of patients should not only pay attention to the correct sleeping posture, but also change their posture appropriately to avoid long-term compression of a certain part and malignant complications such as bedsore caused by blood circulation disorder. Bedspreads and clothes should also be washed, aired and changed frequently, so as to avoid skin infections and diseases caused by local dampness caused by lying for a long time. To keep it clean and dry, patients with incontinence and difficulty in defecation need to introduce urine, while patients who have opened bottles should pay more attention to hygiene to avoid infection.
