After pneumonectomy, what are the precautions?

  In order to help you recover as soon as possible and from the perspective of better health, the following discharge instructions are given to you: 1. Stop smoking and drinking, avoid eating spicy foods, and avoid contact with perfumes, gasoline and other odor stimuli to reduce coughing.  2, into high protein food. After the surgery, the body consumes a lot of energy, coupled with the exudation of inflammatory fibrin in the chest cavity, so it is very easy to cause hypoproteinemia and the immunity is in a depressed state. Therefore, we should eat more high-protein food, such as milk, eggs and soy products, to supplement the consumption of protein and increase the immunity of the body.  3, into high vitamin food. Fresh green vegetables, cereals and fruits are rich in vitamins, and their consumption can supplement folic acid and vitamins. It is reported that vitamin A has certain curative effect on cancer, so carotenoids should be consumed regularly.  4. Eat foods that strengthen the spleen, tonify the kidneys, benefit the lungs, regulate the qi and stop cough and expectoration. Foods with this effect include pear, orange, jujube, white fungus, walnuts and honey, etc.  5, the appropriate amount of water. After lung resection, the lung function decreases, the respiratory frequency increases, and the water loss through the respiratory tract increases due to coughing and spitting. Therefore, you should drink more water, generally more than 1500ml of water per day, in order to make the respiratory mucosa moist, conducive to coughing up phlegm.  6.Improve the living environment to regulate emotions. Such as reasonable arrangement of indoor color; do more outdoor activities to keep a comfortable mood; timely adjustment of indoor temperature and humidity; keep good light and ventilation, etc.  7.Avoid physical exertion in the past six months, and appropriate light physical work in the future according to the recovery situation.
