1. Protection of renal function: After surgery, the patient's urine must be closely observed. If hemoglobinuria occurs, the urine should be appropriately alkalinized to avoid cast formation.

2. Gastrointestinal care: After abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery, the color, nature and amount of the gastric tube drainage fluid should be carefully observed to determine whether the gastric tube is unobstructed. If the patient feels abdominal distension and no gastric fluid is discharged, the position of the gastric tube should be checked to see if it is dislocated and timely treatment should be performed.

3. The patient should rest in bed for about 2 weeks, preferably in a semi-recumbent position. If the patient has not taken a bath for a long time during this period, he or she will sweat more or less, which must be wiped off in time to prevent bedsores. Avoid strenuous activities within 3 weeks after surgery, which is conducive to the growth of the inner and outer membranes of the blood vessels.

Any surgery involves certain risks. The key is how to control the risks. This is related to many factors. Patients must be prepared in all aspects.
