Can epidural anesthesia needle sit up for 6 hours?

After finishing epidural anesthesia, patients should pay attention to the following points. First of all, patients should lie flat, because epidural surgery will have small puncture holes in the waist, so that the pressure of the spinal cord cavity will increase the chance of leakage of cerebrospinal fluid, which is easy to cause postoperative pain. Therefore, after returning to the ward, the patient should remove the pillow and lie flat for 6-8 hours. Monitor respiration, temperature, and heartbeat closely, and give patients oxygen if necessary. Due to motor nerve block, the patient's gastrointestinal peristalsis function decreases or even paralysis, so after returning to the ward after surgery, fasting is generally required for 12-24 hours. 6 to 12 hours after returning to the ward, get up slowly, do not sit up, sit down for a while and then stand up, get up quickly may lead to dizziness. After epidural anesthesia, patients often need to lie flat for 6-8 hours after returning to the ward to avoid headache as much as possible. In addition, the puncture site should be protected from infection as it enters the epidural space. Patients need light diet, do not enter spicy food, because it involves the recovery of intestinal exhaust function. If after epidural anesthesia, the patient has a sensation, such as a sensation in the leg, a tingling sensation, or other pain or something like that, contact the anesthesiologist as soon as possible, if it needs to be treated as soon as possible
