Patients with cervical cancer should take good care of themselves before treatment

Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women and one of the diseases with a very high incidence rate. Understanding the care of cervical cancer can greatly assist the treatment effect of patients. Now, let the experts give us a detailed introduction to the key points of cervical cancer care .

The main points of care for cervical cancer are as follows:

1. Nurses should assist doctors in understanding the patient's condition and family members and inform the patient of relevant precautions to gain understanding and cooperation. Instruct the patient to empty his or her bladder and bowels half an hour before treatment.

2. Measure blood pressure and body temperature. The blood pressure must not be lower than 13.33/9.33 kPa. Do not perform intrauterine radiotherapy if the body temperature is higher than 37.5℃, and do not perform vaginal treatment if the body temperature is higher than 38℃.

3. Change pants before getting on the treatment cart, help the patient onto the bed to prevent falling, take the lithotomy position, spread a drape to disinfect the perineum, and use a vaginal dilator to fully expose the vagina and uterus.

4. Assist the doctor in the operation of the applicator in the vagina, cervix and fornix, pack the applicator with gauze, and then fix it with tape to prevent it from falling off. If there is a lot of pus in the cervical cancer infection, prepare 3 to 4 cotton balls with 3% hydrogen peroxide to scrub.

5. Send the patient to the machine room (treatment room), connect the applicator connector, observe again whether the applicator is fixed, close the door, and start treatment.

6. We can observe the patient's condition during treatment through closed-circuit television, and communicate with the patient directly through the intercom. If the patient feels uncomfortable, he or she can wave or tell us about the discomfort. We will then stop the machine, enter the machine room to correct the patient's discomfort, and then continue treatment outside the machine room.

7. Psychological care: Psychological care often plays a very important role in the treatment of patients. Cervical cancer patients have a more complex psychology, fear, anxiety, fear of pain, fear of being abandoned by their husbands due to long-term pain, and even fear of death. They also have a strong desire to survive and expect to be relieved or alleviated after treatment, or even cured and prolong their life. Therefore, we should take the initiative to care for patients, introduce the treatment situation and the current development of tumors to patients, tell them that tumors are not terrible, and many patients can be cured through treatment, so that they can let go of their ideological burdens, and guide patients to face reality, treat the disease correctly, eliminate patients' fear and anxiety, and enhance their confidence in defeating the disease.

8. After the treatment, push the patient from the treatment room to the preparation room, assist the doctor in removing the applicator and dressing, and observe whether there is bleeding or gauze left in the patient's vagina.

9. If there is bleeding in the vagina, it can be packed with gauze and iodine form, and the patient should be asked to inform the attending physician to remove it within 24 hours.

10. If there is no special reason, the patient will take a short rest after treatment, return to the ward for further observation, and urge the patient to increase nutrition. Aftercare for cervical cancer must establish a good nurse-patient relationship and psychological care, strengthen psychological counseling, enable patients to build confidence in overcoming the disease, actively cooperate with treatment, and ensure smooth treatment.
