Precautions after rib fracture surgery

After rib fracture surgery: 1. The patient’s breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure must be closely observed. If shortness of breath and blood pressure suddenly appear, it is possible that the lungs were damaged during surgery, resulting in a hemopneumothorax, which must be treated immediately and urgently. 2. The degree of dryness of the dressing outside the surgical incision must be observed, and if the dressing is leaking more blood and fluid, it must be replaced and the wound disinfected in a timely manner. If the wound is left with a drainage tube, the degree of patency of the drainage tube and the amount of drainage flow must be observed. 3, the wound must be regularly changed, disinfected and bandaged, and the stitches can be removed about 10 days after surgery. 4, antibiotics should be applied to prevent wound infection. 5, nebulized inhalation can also be used to prevent coughing or coughing caused by the presence of phlegm inside the airway, resulting in fractures or wounds where pain occurs. The pain will appear.
