C
A decreasing level of consciousness indicates a problem with shunt function and should be reported immediately to the neurosurgeon. Peristalsis is depressed during surgery. Hypoactive bowel sounds may be evident after surgery as peristalsis returns to its preoperative function. Congestion in the upper airways may be evident after surgery. Mild incisional pain is a normal finding in the postoperative period.
