Pre- and post-operative care for appendicitis

Before surgery, patients with appendicitis should have the skin of the surgical area prepared, and a gastrointestinal decompression tube and a urinary catheter should be left in place before surgery to facilitate operation during surgery. And the operation is usually carried out under general anesthesia or epidural anesthesia, before the operation, we should do a good job of teaching and psychological care to eliminate the patient’s nervousness. Before entering the operating room, atropine sulfate injection and valium injection should be injected to reduce the secretion of glands and eliminate the patient’s nervousness. After the operation, the patient should be instructed to be in a high semi-recumbent position to facilitate the drainage of abdominal fluid to the pelvis and to reduce the effect of toxin absorption on the physiological functions of the body. After the operation, after the anesthesia has disappeared, the patient should be encouraged to leave the bed at an early stage to promote the early recovery of the peristalsis function of the intestinal tract.
