Nursing measures for pancreatic cancer pain

Pain nursing measures for pancreatic cancer

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

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

3. During pancreaticoduodenectomy, there are many anastomoses during the operation. The properties and amount of exudate in the abdominal drainage tube or drainage strip should be closely observed to observe whether complications such as bile fistula, pancreatic fistula and bleeding occur.

4. For patients who undergo 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. Psychological care: Provide psychological support and enhance confidence in overcoming the disease.

6. Control 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.

7. Chemotherapy care: the same as routine chemotherapy care.
