Appendicitis care issues and measures

Appendicitis nursing problems and measures: First of all, we should pay attention to inform patients not to be nervous and relieve their tension, because patients mostly come to the clinic because of abdominal pain, plus for the unfamiliar environment, often appear mental tension and fear, we should communicate more with patients and understand the psychological changes of patients, and even briefly introduce the basic process of surgical operation and the necessity of surgery, so that patients can relax, and we should strive for patients’ cooperation and take the initiative to accept the surgery. After the surgery, the patient should be informed to choose the appropriate position, for example, if the patient is under lumbar anesthesia, he can go to the pillow and lie flat to avoid the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid and cause the patient to have headache; for epidural anesthesia, he can choose to lie flat, at which time the patient’s vital signs should be closely observed until they are stable. After surgery, patients should be allowed to get out of bed as early as possible on the first day to speed up intestinal peristalsis and avoid intestinal adhesions, which can also promote blood circulation and facilitate wound healing, and more attention should be paid to the patient’s incision after surgery because patients with appendicitis usually have problems with the incision. If the patient’s incision becomes red, swollen and painful, it should be treated promptly. In addition, patients should be advised to follow a regular diet, starting with a liquid diet, then transitioning to a semi-liquid diet, and finally to a soft food and a regular diet.
