What are the nursing measures for hypertension in ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common tumors of the female reproductive organs, and its incidence rate ranks third after cervical cancer and uterine body cancer. However, deaths due to ovarian cancer account for the first place among all types of gynecological tumors, posing a serious threat to women's lives. So what are the nursing measures for hypertension in ovarian cancer?

(1) Improve the nutritional status of patients and reduce postoperative complications: Encourage patients to eat more nutritious food and give them gastrointestinal nasogastric feeding or intravenous high nutrition when necessary. Those with obvious jaundice need to be given vitamin K1 to improve coagulation function. Fatty foods should be limited due to fat absorption disorders (such as diarrhea and changes in stool properties).

(2) Closely monitor blood pressure, pulse, and respiration after surgery to prevent shock and maintain water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.

(3) During pancreaticoduodenectomy, when there are many anastomoses during the operation, the nature and amount of exudate in the abdominal drainage tube or drainage strip should be closely observed to see if there are any complications such as bile fistula, pancreatic fistula, and bleeding.

(4) For patients undergoing pancreatic body and tail resection, pay attention to whether there is pancreatic fluid leakage in the drainage tube placed at the pancreatic section (pancreatic fluid is clear, colorless, watery liquid). If pancreatic fistula is suspected, the drainage tube should be immediately connected to continuous negative pressure suction, and the skin around the pancreatic fistula should be protected with zinc oxide paste.

(5) Nursing measures for pancreatic cancer should also pay attention to psychological care: provide psychological support and enhance confidence in overcoming the disease.

(6) Control of secondary diabetes: Monitor blood sugar, urine sugar, and ketone bodies in the early postoperative period. Record urine volume and specific gravity. Administer insulin as directed by the doctor.
