What are the daily care methods for lung cancer patients? There are 4 points for daily care methods for lung cancer patients

When a lung cancer patient is diagnosed, it is a huge blow to him. Some people even give up on themselves, indulge in alcohol and sex, or just eat and wait for death, but most people still choose to go to the hospital for treatment. After the operation, we need to take care of the patient. So what is the daily care for lung cancer patients?

1. Diet care:

The first is the dietary care of the patients. We know that the diet of lung cancer patients is very important at all times. A reasonable diet for patients with advanced lung cancer before and after surgery can enhance the patient's tolerance and reduce postoperative complications. The diet during radiotherapy and chemotherapy can alleviate the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and improve the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Even in the most serious stage of the late stage, a reasonable diet can improve the patient's clinical symptoms and alleviate the patient's pain.

2. General care:

Secondly, the daily general care for lung cancer is mainly for patients who can do slight activities. They can be accompanied to walk slowly, stroll, and stretch their muscles and bones, but not excessively. For patients with advanced lung cancer who are in pain due to tumor infiltration, their pain relief needs should be met as much as possible, and they should not be afraid of the addictiveness of narcotic analgesics, so as to improve their quality of life.

3. Comfort care:

For lung cancer patients in the advanced stage, with rapid disease progression, weak constitution, malnutrition and long-term bed rest, the patients' fatigue and discomfort are getting worse day by day. The following measures are taken: Create a comfortable ward environment for patients to increase their psychological comfort. In the layout of the ward, try to meet the hobbies of patients as much as possible, place red roses and green plants that patients like to appreciate in the room; provide appropriate temperature, humidity, light, and regular ventilation; keep the environment quiet, control visits, and reduce any external stimulation to patients.

4. Symptom care:

The nursing care of patients should also be based on their symptoms. If patients with advanced lung cancer cough and have phlegm, they should be encouraged to cough it out by themselves. If they have difficulty expectorating, they can be patted on the back to help expectorate. If necessary, a sputum suction device can be used. When resting and sleeping, pay attention to lying on one side with the head tilted to prevent suffocation by phlegm. If the patient suddenly loses his/her voice, changes his/her complexion, or stops breathing, it is necessary to report to the doctor immediately for emergency rescue. For patients in pain, their pain relief requirements should be met as much as possible. Don't be afraid of the addictiveness of narcotic analgesics to improve their quality of life.

Based on the above nursing points, we found that daily care for lung cancer patients is not only about making them eat well or dress well, but more attention should be paid to the patient's mental state. Family members should communicate with the patients in a timely manner, enlighten them, reshape their hope for life, and increase their self-confidence.
