good trunk balance
Cranial surgery pts - what should the nurse do?

cerebral salt wasting (CSW)
Give this one a try later!
excessive excretion of sodium in the urine d/t disorder of the cerebrum that
affects the function of the kidneys.
cause: CNS damage/surgery/tumor/infection/meningitis, closed head injury
s/s: polyuria, wt loss, dehydration, hypovolemia, low CVP, hyponatremia
tx: strict I&O, volume replacement, hypertonic saline, continued at-home
sodium supplementation
hemorrhagic stroke
Give this one a try later!
bleeding into brain tissue or ventricles or subarachnoid space
s/s: similar to ischemic, *severe HA, early/sudden LOC changes, vomiting
tx: monitor VS, LOC, GCS, ICP, placement of EVD (external ventricular
drain), maintain airway, tx vasospasm, HTN, seizures, prevent more bleeding
ischemic stroke
