Every patient and family is concerned about what they can do ahead of time in order to recover quickly after surgery.
Simply put: exercise!
Specific points: physical exercise + lung function exercise practice how long: preferably more than two weeks how to do.
1, physical exercise.
Stair climbing.
Goal: each time to climb up ten layers, 3 times a day.
First from their actual level, can climb a layer of a layer, can climb five layers climbing five layers; slowly increase the amount of exercise, strive to achieve the above goal within 1 week, and then continue to adhere to climb about a week.
Note: When climbing stairs, you must be accompanied by a family member!
Patients with cardiovascular disease need to consult a physician before exercising at their discretion!
Some patients ask: Is walking okay? A: the intensity of walking, far from the requirements.
2, lung function exercise.
Blowing balloons.
Goal: each group blowing 20 times a day 3 groups when blowing balloons, the requirements are each time with a breath of air to blow as hard as possible, blow this breath to let off the air, and then blow again.
Our purpose is to practice lung capacity, not to big balloons, so do not need several breaths of air to blow the balloon big, so that the balloon blowing big, there is no effect.
Note: Patients who smoke, quit smoking is a must; quit smoking for two weeks will have obvious benefits.
1, most patients and family members often care what supplements they give to patients, in the vain hope that this will speed up the recovery of patients after surgery.
How to evaluate this kind of thinking?
Everyone has had the experience of attending school themselves or their children.
In order to improve the academic performance of our children, we will buy all kinds of reference books and exercise sets for them, and we will let them attend all kinds of tutorials and hire all kinds of tutors. But books have been bought, tutorials have been attended, tutors have been hired, but the child does not read or listen to the lessons, can you expect his academic performance to improve? If you think about it, the times are not decades ago, there is no shortage of reference books, and as long as students are willing to read them, there is no end of study materials.
The situation of patients is similar.
In today’s China, nutritional deficiencies are not mainstream, and patients after gastrointestinal surgery do not eat much; but does the patient have the ability to absorb the nutrients given to him? After the nutrients are absorbed, whether his body will use them to synthesize the proteins his body needs or to synthesize the fat that he doesn’t need depends on the patient’s own hormones; physical exercise before surgery can activate the patient’s own synthesis ability to synthesize the absorbed nutrients into the proteins his body needs to recover, instead of letting the nutrients turn into fat deposits in his body.
Through physical exercise, it is roughly equivalent to turning a child who is not good at learning into a child who is actively good at learning.
2, post-surgical lung complications are the most frequent, and pulmonary function exercise can greatly reduce the incidence or severity of these complications.
