The most important care for pancreatic cancer in life

Pancreatic cancer is the most common disease in many diabetic patients. The occurrence of pancreatic cancer has a huge impact on the pancreas. How to do a good job of nursing for pancreatic cancer ? Let's learn about it from the following article.

(1) Improve the nutritional status of pancreatic cancer patients and reduce postoperative complications. Encourage pancreatic cancer patients to eat more nutritious food and, if necessary, give them gastrointestinal nasogastric feeding or intravenous high nutrition. Those with obvious jaundice need to be given vitamin K1 to improve coagulation function. Due to fat absorption disorders (such as diarrhea and changes in stool properties), fatty foods should be limited. This is one of the nursing methods for pancreatic cancer.

(2) After pancreatic cancer surgery, closely monitor blood pressure, pulse, and respiration to prevent shock and maintain water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.

(3) During pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatic cancer patients have many anastomoses during surgery. 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. This is also a nursing measure for pancreatic cancer.

(4) For patients who undergo pancreatic body and tail resection, the nursing staff for pancreatic cancer should pay attention to whether there is pancreatic fluid leakage (pancreatic fluid is clear, colorless, watery liquid) in the drainage tube placed at the pancreatic section. 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.
