1. The principle of eating food should be rich in protein and easy to digest. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid fatty and greasy food. Protect the airway from patency, clear secretions in time, give oxygen regularly, and use a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to give oxygen if conditions permit.

2. For severe vomiting, attention should be paid to the administration of energy mixture and Shengmai injection; for those who are bedridden for a long time, attention should be paid to the care of bedsores; try to avoid coughing, sneezing, and retching, and pay attention to keeping bowel movements unobstructed.

3. During radiotherapy, the patient's condition should be closely monitored and the occurrence of cerebral edema and brain herniation should be guarded. During critical periods, the patient's body position should be adjusted. When there is no shock, the head of the bed can be raised 15-30 degrees. The neck should not be twisted or the chest should not be compressed to facilitate intracranial venous flow.

4. For patients who need postoperative radiotherapy, it is usually performed 2 weeks or 1 month after discharge. Blood counts should be measured regularly during radiotherapy. If you experience symptoms such as general discomfort and poor appetite during radiotherapy, you should communicate with the radiotherapy physician in a timely manner.

5. Take medication on time and avoid stopping medication on your own, especially anti-epileptic drugs. Regular outpatient follow-up should be conducted to understand the course of the disease.

For patients who have undergone cranial bone flap surgery, they should pay attention to local protection after surgery, wear a hat when going out, and try to avoid going to public places to prevent accidents. They can come to the hospital for bone flap repair surgery six months after discharge. The head can be cleaned after the head incision heals well, usually about 4 weeks after surgery.
