What is pneumonectomy?

summary

The mortality of total pneumonectomy is significantly higher than that of lobectomy. Therefore, we should make every effort to complete lobectomy through bronchoplasty and / or angioplasty on the premise of complete and complete resection of the lesion, and avoid pneumonectomy. Pneumonectomy is the last choice when other types of surgery cannot be performed. But for lung cancer and traumatic main bronchial rupture, pneumonectomy is the best treatment. Because there are many postoperative complications, the quality of postoperative nursing directly affects the rehabilitation of patients. Let's share my experience with you.

What is pneumonectomy?

First of all, due to the fear of the disease, the patients are prone to anxiety and depression. Therefore, the nursing staff warmly receive the patients when they are admitted to hospital, use comfort language, understand the psychological reaction of the patients, cooperate closely with their families, do a good job in explanation, and calm their emotions.

In addition, some patients are worried about poor prognosis. Nursing staff should pay attention to observation, timely find out patients' psychological problems, patiently listen to patients' complaints, use relevant knowledge to give consideration and necessary health education, and focus on understanding the characteristics and prognosis of the patients.

Finally, we should actively and enthusiastically let patients have a correct understanding of their condition, have a sense of dependence and trust on medical staff, enhance treatment confidence, cooperate with treatment and nursing, and smoothly pass the perioperative period. Maintain emotional stability, establish a correct attitude towards the disease, enhance the confidence to overcome the disease, in order to better accept and cooperate with the treatment.

matters needing attention

In summary, the nursing after pneumonectomy is mainly for psychological treatment. Because after resection, many patients will think that the lack of a part of the body is not complete, leading to a psychological gap and not conducive to recovery, which need our attention.
