Explain the nursing methods of laryngeal cancer from multiple aspects

The care of laryngeal cancer should be carried out from multiple aspects. Only in this way can we better help laryngeal cancer patients recover. What are the common nursing methods for laryngeal cancer ? The following is a brief introduction to the common nursing methods for laryngeal cancer.

In general, common laryngeal cancer care methods include:

(1) Observe the bleeding tendency. If the neck blood vessels are found to be slipped or the innominate vein or artery is found to be ruptured and bleeding, the laryngeal cancer caregiver should immediately compress the bleeding point and report to the doctor immediately to actively cooperate with the rescue.

(2) After surgery, it is strictly forbidden to eat or drink anything. Do not swallow saliva. Keep the mouth clean. From the third day after surgery, rinse the mouth frequently with Dobel solution or 1.5% hydrogen peroxide to promote wound healing. Pay attention to whether the wound has exudate and bleeding, pay attention to changes in body temperature, and prevent anastomotic fistula. These are the key points of common laryngeal cancer care.

(3) Nasogastric feeding of mixed milk diet for 7 to 10 days, 4 to 5 times a day, 500 ml each time. After the infusion, 200 to 300 ml of warm water should be injected to maintain adequate water and prevent the stomach tube from being blocked or dislodged. When starting to eat, ask the patient to chew slowly. Patients with partial laryngectomy should first eat viscous semi-liquid food to prevent it from entering the trachea and causing choking.

(4) After neck lymph node dissection, when the drainage is connected to negative pressure suction, maintaining smooth drainage and promoting wound healing are important aspects of laryngeal cancer care.

(5) Training esophageal pronunciation. When nursing laryngeal cancer patients, they should attend esophageal pronunciation training classes after the wound has healed. The patient can swallow a breath and let it flow into the esophagus, then slowly expel it and make a burp sound. Pay attention to the coordination of the abdominal and chest movements, esophageal burping movements, and mouth shape movements to make sounds. Regular training is sufficient to maintain daily life needs.

(6) Before leaving the hospital, patients should be taught how to suction sputum and use cannulas and laryngeal pads. Even patients who have undergone total laryngectomy should wear cannulas to prevent stenosis of the stoma (tracheostomy stoma). Patients should also be advised to prevent constipation, maintain smooth bowel movements, avoid physical labor, prevent colds, avoid catching cold, and come to the hospital for regular checkups. This is also an important nursing method for laryngeal cancer.
