مريض بعد استئصال ورم فوق الخيمة (Supratentorial) بالجراحة. ما وضعية الرأس المناسبة غالباً؟

After supratentorial tumour resection, what head position is usually appropriate?

1. Head lowered below heart level
2. Lying directly on the operative site
3. Head of bed raised 30 degrees
4. Completely flat for several days

Answer: C) Head of bed raised 30 degrees. After supratentorial surgery the head is usually raised 30 degrees to aid venous drainage and reduce ICP, following the surgeon’s instructions; some infratentorial procedures differ.
