Nursing care after lung cancer operation

First: lung cancer patients should often relax the whole body, so that muscle relaxation, block the pain response. Close your eyes and sigh. Then bend your hips and knees and lie down. Relax your abdominal and back muscles and breathe slowly. Inhale slowly or exhale slowly to relieve pain in the quiet environment. Lung cancer patients in daily life, we must maintain a relaxed and happy mood, must not have too much psychological pressure.

Second: lung cancer patients often have different parts of the tumor metastasis, causing different symptoms, should pay attention to observation, give corresponding nursing. Patients with bone metastases often have intestinal obstruction due to abdominal metastasis. We should pay attention to observe whether there are abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms. Due to weakness, fatigue, decreased activity and other reasons, patients often have constipation. Kaisailu or laxative drugs should be given in time. Lung cancer patients need to pay attention to eat more easily digestible food, drink more honey water or boiled water, try to avoid constipation.

Third: the prevention of bedsore is also the focus of nursing for patients with lung cancer. Patients with lung cancer are prone to bedsore, which expands rapidly and is difficult to cure. Therefore, the skin should be kept clean, especially for patients with incontinence, the bed should be kept clean and flat, and the broken skin should be irradiated with baking lamp to keep local dryness. By reducing the local pressure and changing the position on time, the easily pressed parts of the body are padded up with air rings and soft pillows to avoid long-term pressure and bedsore. In such daily life, we must ensure that the living environment is ventilated and clean, and the requirements for mattresses are very high. We should try our best to make it straight, and the pillows, towels and sheets, which are close to the body, must be replaced regularly.
