Patient's question:
Tonight he and the child played and broke his head and had 2 stitches at the 149 Hospital in Shihezi, Xinjiang.Doctor's answer:
Patients undergoing spinal anesthesia or epidural anesthesia should lie flat without a pillow for 6 hours to prevent cerebrospinal fluid from leaking out through the subarachnoid space needle hole, which may lead to a decrease in cerebrospinal fluid pressure and cause a headache. Patients who have not yet recovered from general anesthesia should lie flat without a pillow, with their head turned to one side. Before children recover from surgery, it is not advisable to use a pillow, as this facilitates breathing.
