Things to note before lung cancer surgery, very important! 1. Quit smoking and drinking! Quit smoking for at least two weeks! If you smoke before surgery, you will easily get lung infection and be admitted to ICU after surgery, or even endanger your life because the infection cannot be controlled. In the clinical work, we also have to quit smoking for a week on the surgery, this is the minimum line! It is really because the patient took two weeks for preoperative examination, the admitting doctor was too busy or the patient didn’t listen to it and didn’t know that he needed to quit smoking, only to find out that the patient was still smoking when preparing for surgery, and in order to operate as soon as possible, he had to quit smoking for another 1 week, so that almost 1 month before surgery passed. 2. Cough! Learn to cough properly by taking a deep breath and holding it before coughing it out deeply. The benefits of coughing are a reduced chance of lung infection, a shorter hospital stay and less cost, which is no less important than the use of post-operative antibiotics. Post-operative coughing does not cause the surgical incision to split, and some patients tend to use this as an excuse, along with the family’s heartache for the patient, to not cough thus causing the lung infection to worsen! In addition to encouraging the patient to cough up sputum, there is an important method: let the patient take oral analgesics at regular intervals, so that the patient is not in pain to facilitate coughing up sputum! 3.Eating and sleeping You can eat before 12 o’clock on the night before surgery, and sleep before and after surgery is very important, which is conducive to the patient’s rapid recovery. Some patients are either worried about the side effects of analgesics or are afraid to call the doctor in the early morning, resulting in the patient spending the whole night in pain after surgery, which is very detrimental to the patient’s recovery! Of course, unless the patient is not in pain can not use analgesics, and this is a very rare and rare case. 5.Balloon blowing training can be performed before surgery, and balloon blowing after surgery is also beneficial for patients to recover quickly. The most important thing about lung cancer surgery is that the surgery is clean and thorough, whether the surgery is open-heart or thoracoscopic is secondary. As for the cleanliness of the surgery, one way is to look at the pathology report after surgery, but the pathology report may not truly reflect the surgery, for which I won’t expand here, in the end, whether the surgery is thorough or not requires the conscience of the surgeon in charge! 7, the use of chest straps to fix the thorax after surgery can also reduce pain. 8, may be almost half of the patients after surgery wound pain for half a year, I have only touched a patient, surgery wound pain for a full 8 years! She was always worried about whether it was a recurrence of metastasis and was not relieved until 8 years later when there was no more pain. 9, a small number of patients will have cough or dyspnea after surgery, and often the majority of female patients, if you exclude infection and other clear causes, cough, chest tightness need time to recover. 10, after surgery patients down the ward, to the pillow flat position has become obsolete, because this is not conducive to the patient’s breathing, intensify the patient’s fear! Many articles in recent years have also illustrated that patients leaning on the pillow also did not increase the chance of headache as a result. 11. If you have time, go to the doctor’s office more often to “harass” the doctor, although sometimes the doctor will be annoyed, but more communication with the doctor, you will get more information. Because doctors are too busy, sometimes only the crying child has milk to eat! 12, pay attention to the operating table, the doctor’s surgery does not make a difference because of familiar or unfamiliar!
