How to care for advanced colon cancer

Postoperative care for colon cancer is a critical aspect, especially in terms of diet. It should be noted that diet is closely related to the intestines. In the early postoperative period, it is necessary not only to observe the patient's vital signs, but also to understand the precautions. The following is a summary of the key points of care for advanced colon cancer:

1. Comfortable recuperation environment

Late-stage patients need a comfortable and suitable environment for recuperation. Therefore, it is best to place the patient in an environment that is conducive to the patient's recuperation, ensure the patient's safety during the recuperation period, keep the room clean and hygienic, and facilitate the patient's bowel movements. The patient must be informed that it is best to do a small amount of activity before going to bed. Provide the patient with adequate nutrition and try to meet the patient's needs. The diet requires easily digestible food.

2. Observe the changes in the patient's condition

For patients who have multiple bowel movements per day, their condition should be carefully observed. When the patient sleeps more, it is necessary to observe the changes in the patient's breathing rhythm and other symptoms. When the patient is resting, try to put the patient in a semi-lateral position, keep the patient's skin clean, change the bed sheets in time, etc. The patient can also be given pain relief.
