How to take care of lung cancer patients after surgery? Surgery is a common treatment method for lung cancer, but because of the trauma of surgery, the patient’s body is relatively weak after surgery, so whether the lung cancer disease can recover as soon as possible depends on whether the nursing work is done properly at this time. Avoiding cold When we have undergone surgery to treat lung cancer, the patient’s resistance is relatively low, so we need to pay attention to prevent the occurrence of cold at this time. Post-operative care for lung cancer patients should pay attention to reducing the chance of catching cold. Don’t reduce clothing too much and don’t go out in the sun for too long, 20 minutes is appropriate. Patients with allergic rhinitis should not put flowers at home, and should not go to the park to enjoy flowers to prevent pollen from stimulating the respiratory tract and causing allergic reactions. Diet Also patients should usually eat a light diet, preferably easily digestible food, for some of the more stimulating foods, we better eat less. As long as the food is light, fresh, nutritious and easy to digest, no or less spicy and stimulating food, no smoking and alcohol is the most basic of postoperative care for lung cancer patients. Patients need to take more rest and pay attention to the protection of respiratory tract. Avoid respiratory tract infection. Patients with lung cancer should pay attention to the maintenance of respiratory tract, pay attention to the change of climate and avoid catching cold as much as possible, and if upper respiratory tract infection occurs, they should seek medical treatment in time to avoid pneumonia. Do not stay in places with dirty air and avoid inhaling second-hand smoke. Stay away from the kitchen Fumes itself is a carcinogen, especially the smell of grease emitted when frying is more harmful. The burning process of kitchen fuels increases the amount of nitrogen oxides, which increases indoor air pollution and can lead to lung lesions, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other diseases. Pay attention to sleeping posture After lung cancer surgery, patients should choose two positions to sleep. One is to lie sideways or flat toward the operation site, which can prevent mediastinal oscillation, especially after total lung resection. The other is semi-recumbent position, because semi-recumbent position can increase the lung volume by 10%-15%, which can increase the mobility of chest and septum muscles, thus increasing the area of gas exchange and improving ventilation. Postoperative care methods for lung cancer patients? The occurrence of lung cancer is something we don’t want to see, but the disease has happened, so we should actively solve it instead of just running away from it, otherwise it will lead to the disease becoming serious and may cause us to lose our lives, so I hope you pay attention to lung cancer and wish you a happy life!
