About the specific nursing measures for patients with bladder cancer after surgery

Bladder cancer is a relatively important organ in the human body. Its outer wall is mainly composed of muscles and is located in the lower abdomen. Bladder cancer patients should actively take care of bladder cancer while receiving treatment. The following will introduce relevant nursing measures.

According to the routine postoperative anesthesia, the patient's vital signs should be closely observed. After the patient wakes up, the blood pressure, pulse, and breathing are stable. The patient can be placed in a semi-recumbent position to prevent and detect bleeding and shock at an early stage. This is one of the nursing measures for bladder cancer.

All drainage tubes should be kept unobstructed and properly fixed to prevent displacement and dislocation. Carefully observe the color, nature and amount of drainage fluid. All catheters should be sterile, and drainage bags should be replaced daily. The drainage bag should not be higher than the level of the patient's intubation port to prevent retrograde infection. Record the 24-hour intake and output to determine renal function.

Observe the color of the bladder incision tissue to prevent necrosis. If the dressing is bleeding or soaked, replace it in time or cover it with a sterile gauze pad. Apply oxidative ointment to the skin around the incision to prevent moisture and ulceration. The catheter can be removed 10 days after surgery and a urine collection bag can be placed. Teach the correct way to use it to prevent retrograde infection. This is what you need to pay attention to in the care of bladder cancer.
