The client must be positioned in Semi-Fowler's position with the head elevated at a 30-degree angle.

Supratentorial surgery patients should have the head of the bed raised 30 degrees to improve venous drainage from the head.

  • The client is positioned so that there is no excessive hip or neck flexion, and the head is held in a midline neutral posture.
  • If a big tumour has been removed, the patient should be put on the nonoperative side to prevent cranial contents displacement.
  • The flat or Trendelenburg posture would raise intracranial pressure.
  • A reverse Trendelenburg posture would be ineffective and maybe unpleasant for the client.

To assist venous drainage after a craniotomy, the head of the bed is elevated 30 to 45 degrees (semi-to Fowler's Fowler's position), and the client's head is maintained in a midline, neutral position.

Andrej [43]

A patient who is undergoing intravenous therapy should not perform isometric exercises because it may lead to bleeding and injury at the injection site. During a shower, the patient should protect the injection site and dressing from getting wet by covering it with plastic. Applying pressure with sterile gauze at the injection site if the catheter falls out helps to reduce bleeding. Inflammation and itching at the injection site may be an indication of infection and phlebitis; the patient should report these manifestations immediately.
