Symptoms of metastatic lung cancer

summary

Some time ago, I had a rest with my mother at home. During that time, I learned that one of her elders was ill in hospital and wanted me to accompany her to visit. After we got to the hospital, we learned that the old man had lung cancer and had been receiving treatment all the time. Today, let me talk about the treatment of symptoms of lung cancer metastasis.

Symptoms of metastatic lung cancer

* 1: respiratory tract complications may occur after lung cancer surgery, such as retention of sputum, atelectasis, pneumonia and respiratory insufficiency. Especially the elderly, the weak, the chronic bronchitis and emphysema have a higher incidence rate. Because of postoperative wound pain, patients can not do effective cough, sputum retention caused by airway obstruction, atelectasis, respiratory insufficiency.

Second: chest, empyema and bronchopleural flaccidity after operation: hemothorax after operation is a serious complication, which needs emergency treatment, and if necessary, it should be timely re thoracotomy to stop bleeding. During lung surgery, bronchogenic or intrapulmonary secretions contaminate the chest and cause empyema.

Third: cardiovascular complications after lung cancer surgery are also very common, such as old and weak, mediastinal and hilar traction stimulation, hypokalemia, hypoxia and massive hemorrhage. The common cardiovascular complications include postoperative hypotension, arrhythmia, pericardial tamponade, heart failure and so on. For the elderly patients who have heart disease before operation and whose heart function is low, the operation should be strictly controlled.

matters needing attention

Although lung cancer surgery is successful, but complications may occur, so we must closely observe the patients, keep the respiratory tract unobstructed and give sufficient oxygen after surgery, closely observe the changes of blood pressure and pulse, and timely supplement blood volume. After operation, the infusion speed should be slow and balanced to prevent pulmonary edema caused by too fast and excessive infusion.
