Among cancer diseases, pancreatic cancer is a very common one. After suffering from pancreatic cancer, many people also want to be cured as soon as possible. So, how is the nursing work for pancreatic cancer done? Let's learn about it from the following article.

1. Improve the nutritional status of pancreatic cancer patients, reduce postoperative complications, encourage pancreatic cancer 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. Due to fat absorption disorders (such as diarrhea, changes in stool properties), fatty foods should be restricted. This is one of the nursing methods for pancreatic cancer.

2. Pancreatic cancer care requires close observation of blood pressure, pulse, and respiration after surgery to prevent shock and maintain water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.

It is necessary to closely observe the properties and amount of exudate in the abdominal drainage tube or drainage strip, and observe whether there are complications such as bile fistula, pancreatic fistula and bleeding. These are all things that need more attention in the care of pancreatic cancer patients.
