How to take care of thyroidectomy

Post-thyroidectomy nursing matters mainly include closely monitoring the patient’s vital signs, observing the incision and drainage tube. 1. Closely observe the patient’s vital signs, including temperature, respiration, heart rate and blood pressure. 2. Observe the swelling of the incision, if the incision suddenly swells within a short time, it suggests that postoperative bleeding has occurred, and the medical staff should be informed in time to actively deal with it. 3. Avoid pulling, folding, twisting and pressure on the drainage tube, keep the drainage smooth, generally the drainage fluid is light red, and the drainage flow should not be too much. If abnormalities are found in the nursing process, the patient needs to inform the doctor in time for treatment.
