Advances in the field of neuroscience are enhancing outcomes for pediatric neurosurgical patients. Innovative diagnostic tools that include ventriculoscopy for hydrocephalus; long-term monitoring with subdural and epidural electrodes for seizures; and intraoperative computer-assisted, three-dimensional imaging for tumors are currently aiding neurosurgeons. These advances in the care of pediatric patients require the perioperative nurse to reevaluate and expand the nurse's role to optimize patient outcomes.
神经科学领域的进展正在改善小儿神经外科患者的治疗效果。创新的诊断工具，包括用于脑积水的脑室镜检查；用于癫痫的硬膜下和硬膜外电极长期监测；以及用于肿瘤的术中计算机辅助三维成像，目前正在帮助神经外科医生。小儿患者护理方面的这些进展要求围手术期护士重新评估并扩大护士的角色，以优化患者治疗效果。
