Postoperative symptoms of lung cancer

summary

Some time ago, it was found that it was lung cancer. Fortunately, it was early. I had a resection operation at the doctor's suggestion. A few days after the operation, I felt obvious discomfort. Now let me talk about the symptoms of lung cancer after the operation.

Postoperative symptoms of lung cancer

* 1: respiratory tract complications: sputum retention, atelectasis, pneumonia, respiratory insufficiency. The incidence rate of elderly patients with chronic weakness, chronic bronchitis and emphysema is high. Because of postoperative wound pain, patients can not do effective cough, sputum retention caused by airway obstruction, atelectasis, respiratory insufficiency.

Second: postoperative hemothorax, empyema and bronchopleural fistula: the incidence rate is very low. Hemothorax after operation is a serious complication, which should be treated urgently. If necessary, it should be cut again in time to stop bleeding. During lung surgery, bronchogenic or intrapulmonary secretions contaminate the chest and cause empyema.

Third: cardiovascular complications: old age and frailty, mediastinal and hilar traction stimulation, hypokalemia, hypoxia and massive hemorrhage are often the causes. The common cardiovascular complications include postoperative hypotension, arrhythmia, pericardial tamponade, heart failure and so on.

matters needing attention

Generally speaking, if the body of patients with lung cancer is weak after surgery, these are normal phenomena. We should pay attention to rest, but we need to be alert to some of the above surgical complications. Once found, we need to take measures as soon as possible.
