summary

Recently, I feel uncomfortable, especially when I go to the toilet. I don't know what's wrong. I went to the hospital to have an examination. It turned out that it was urinary calculi. I had an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The treatment is still very good. Now let me talk about extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy care.

How to care for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy

The first: nursing measures after lithotripsy, appropriate bed rest within 6 hours after lithotripsy, drinking more water after 6 hours, more exercise to promote the discharge of stones, appropriate application of anti-inflammatory, diuretic, antispasmodic drugs, oral stone drugs, such as Shenshitong, Paishi granules. Some patients with postoperative colic caused by lithotripsy discharge can be given 654-2, atropine, pethidine analgesia.

Second: Observation of urine, including color and gravel sediment. The appearance of gross hematuria after treatment is almost inevitable and can be stopped automatically. In nursing care, attention should be paid to the color and disappearance time of hematuria, encourage patients to drink more water, intravenous infusion if necessary, so as to increase blood volume and achieve the purpose of internal flushing by urinating more. For patients with catheter, the color and quantity of urine in the urine bag and the number of stones discharged should be observed.

Third: according to the different position of the stone, the corresponding activities are used to promote the stone removal, such as jumping, changing posture, massage, handstand slap, etc., so as to facilitate the stone removal as soon as possible. Observe the condition of removing calculus closely, ask the patient to urinate in a clean spittoon every time, pay attention to whether there are gravel particles, keep samples, determine the nature, collect and send stones for composition analysis, so as to determine the further treatment plan and guide the diet.

matters needing attention

For patients with lithiasis, in addition to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, postoperative nursing is particularly important. The key of nursing is not to let the disease relapse again, so that the stone can be eradicated. Therefore, patients should pay more attention and drink more water.
