What should we pay attention to in the care of laryngeal cancer

Speaking of laryngeal cancer, I believe everyone knows something about it. In particular, in clinical practice, laryngeal cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the laryngeal mucosal epithelial tissue. Therefore, when you have laryngeal cancer, nursing work must be done in place. Next, let's learn about the precautions for laryngeal cancer care .

1. After surgery, laryngeal cancer patients should be cared for under general anesthesia, and their blood pressure, pulse, respiration and body temperature should be closely monitored. After awakening from anesthesia and blood pressure is stable, laryngeal cancer patients should change to a semi-recumbent position, and those undergoing laryngectomy should lie flat with their head forward to the side to reduce the tension of the anastomosis. This is one of the things to pay attention to in the care of laryngeal cancer patients.

2. Follow the tracheotomy care and perform aseptic operation techniques. At this time, the care of laryngeal cancer patients should pay attention to preventing wound contamination, keeping the airway of laryngeal cancer patients unobstructed, suctioning tracheal secretions at any time, and maintaining the relative humidity of the room at 50-60%. The care of laryngeal cancer patients should prevent sputum crust from blocking the cannula and causing suffocation of laryngeal cancer patients. For laryngeal cancer patients who have undergone partial laryngectomy, the lace must be tied tightly to prevent the tube from falling off and causing difficulty in breathing for the patient. The tracheal cannula should be cleaned four times a day.

3. The nursing of laryngeal cancer requires observation of bleeding tendency. If the ligation of the neck blood vessels of the patient is found to be slipped or the innominate vein or artery is ruptured and bleeding, the bleeding point should be compressed immediately, and the doctor should be notified immediately to actively cooperate with the rescue.

4. In the care of laryngeal cancer, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that it is strictly forbidden to eat or drink water through the mouth after surgery, and saliva should not be swallowed. Patients with laryngeal cancer should keep their mouths clean at all times. From the third day after surgery, patients with laryngeal cancer should frequently gargle with oxygen water to promote wound healing. Pay attention to whether the wound has exudation and bleeding, pay attention to changes in the body temperature of laryngeal cancer patients, and prevent anastomotic fistula.

The above is a detailed description of the precautions for laryngeal cancer care, and I hope it can be helpful to laryngeal cancer patients. If you have other questions about laryngeal cancer, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
