In recent years, laryngeal cancer has become one of the major diseases that endanger society and people's health, and it has brought great pain and distress to people. So how should patients with laryngeal cancer be cared for?

1. Preoperative care

(1) Psychological care: Provide comfort and explanation to patients and their families, care for and show consideration for patients, meet their reasonable needs, and enable patients to face the surgery in a good psychological state.

(2) If symptoms such as sudden local swelling, extreme difficulty breathing, and a rapid pulse occur, it should be considered that the tumor is necrotic and bleeding and is compressing the trachea. Notify the doctor in time and prepare for treatment immediately.

(3) For patients who require radiotherapy or chemotherapy before surgery, routine radiotherapy and chemotherapy care should be followed.

2. Postoperative care

(1) After the patient wakes up, he/she should be placed in a semi-recumbent position to facilitate breathing and drainage.

(2) Place ice on your neck to prevent bleeding from the incision.

(3) Care should be taken to maintain smooth drainage to prevent flap necrosis; regularly observe and record the properties and volume of the drainage fluid, and notify the doctor promptly if any abnormality is found.

(4) Patients who undergo radiotherapy or chemotherapy after surgery should receive routine care.
