What is the infusion rate after pneumonectomy

summary

How many lung resection is the main operation after lung resection? Let's talk about it.

What is the infusion rate after pneumonectomy

First of all, the speed of intravenous infusion is adjusted according to the patient's age, condition and drug nature. In general, 40-60 drops per minute for adults and 20-40 drops per minute for children. It is necessary to control the dropping speed of intravenous infusion for patients after lung tumor operation, and it is appropriate to not exceed 40 drops per minute.

Secondly, the speed of intravenous infusion should be controlled below 40 drops per minute. Because the lung is an important metabolic organ in the human body, and it is also a filter for venous blood return in the whole body. The blood passing through the lung is 4.2 liters per minute. After the operation of total lung resection, the later conditioning and maintenance is particularly important. The infusion should also be carried out under the guidance of doctors, especially according to their own condition.

Finally, during lung surgery, part of the lobes or one side of the lobes are removed, the filtering area of the lung to the blood is reduced, but the blood discharged from the heart into the lung is not reduced, and the load of the lung is increased. At this time, the infusion speed is accelerated, which further aggravates the blood flow of the lung. The lung can not bear the sharp increase of working load, causing the alveolar wall expansion to increase the filtering area, making the alveolar wall expand The permeability of epithelium and capillaries is increased, which leads to pulmonary edema.

matters needing attention

After pneumonectomy, the later maintenance is particularly critical. After the operation, you should get out of bed as early as possible for activities. You should also pay attention to the exercise of vital capacity at ordinary times, but it needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
