Is it painful after liver transplantation
First, in recent years, the diseases treated by orthotopic liver transplantation have been expanding. So far, according to incomplete statistics, liver transplantation has been successfully used in the treatment of more than 60 liver diseases. According to the nature of the disease, it can be divided into end-stage cirrhosis, liver malignant diseases, congenital metabolic diseases and acute or subacute liver failure.
Second: after liver transplantation, patients will have pain in the wound after the disappearance of anesthesia, which will bring many effects to patients, such as increasing pain, causing insomnia, limited activity, slow recovery of local organ function, retention of urine fat, etc.; some patients are reluctant to expectorate due to chest or abdominal wound pain, and are also prone to atelectasis or lung infection.
Third, effective postoperative analgesia can reduce postoperative complications. The traditional method is injection or oral administration of analgesics, but the dosage is too large, and the analgesic effect is unstable. The systemic examination before liver transplantation is mainly to evaluate the function of heart, lung, kidney and other important organs, mental state, nutritional status and infectious diseases. Specifically, it can be divided into three categories: routine examination, special examination and individualized examination.
matters needing attention
After liver transplantation, there are many things we should pay attention to. Careful observation and nursing can better relieve the pain of patients. I hope that I can help you.
