What should we pay attention to in the postoperative care of gallbladder cancer

Gallbladder cancer is also a very common malignant tumor in our lives. As a patient of the disease, you must understand the treatment knowledge of the disease. Surgical treatment is more common in our lives, but what should be paid attention to in the postoperative care of gallbladder cancer? Let's take a look together.

1. Observation of drainage tubes after surgery. Gallbladder cancer patients will have various drainage tubes placed on their bodies after surgery. They should be properly fixed and kept unobstructed. The drainage bag should be changed every day, and the color, properties and flow of the drainage fluid should be observed and recorded.
2. Observe vital signs. Measure the patient's vital signs according to the anesthesia routine, and then measure the body temperature and pulse every day. Many patients will have trauma reactions after surgery, and the patient's body temperature will rise, generally not exceeding 38°C, and return to normal after 1 to 2 days. If the high fever persists or high fever occurs, check the wound immediately to see if it is infected or causes other complications.
3. Observe the wound. Pay attention to whether the patient's wound has bleeding or exudate, and keep the dressing on the wound clean and dry.
4. Pay attention to nutritional supplements. Maintain a low-fat, low-cholesterol, high-protein diet and avoid animal liver, kidney, fish and fried foods to avoid affecting liver function or causing bile duct stones.
5. Maintain oral hygiene. Maintain oral hygiene to prevent complications. You can let the patient sit up to brush his teeth and use a basin to rinse his mouth, which is also a common way to keep the oral cavity clean.
Although there are many treatments for gallbladder cancer, this disease is not easy to cure, so we should also pay attention to disease prevention. To prevent the disease, we should start with diet. In daily life, we should develop good eating habits and not overeat.
