How to effectively care for lung cancer patients? Several best care measures for lung cancer patients

For malignant tumor diseases such as lung cancer, if we want to provide care, we need to explain certain treatment factors to patients clinically, because most patients with this disease will be treated with surgery. But what are the specific evaluation factors for a disease like lung cancer, and how do we observe the clinical manifestations of patients? We will summarize it in detail below.

【concept】

Lung cancer originates from the epithelial cells of the bronchial mucosa and its glands, and is also called bronchial lung cancer. Clinical manifestations include dry cough, blood in sputum, chest pain, and severe hemoptysis in the late stage. Different symptoms appear depending on the site of invasion.

【Evaluate】

1. Assessment of the condition

(1) Vital signs

(2) Severity of cough.

(3) Whether there is chest pain.

(4) Check for weight loss, dehydration, and anemia.

(5) Nutritional status.

2. The degree of awareness of lung cancer and the psychological tolerance.

3. Self-care ability.

【Health Guidance】

1. Quit smoking.

2. Patients who have undergone total lung resection should keep warm, prevent colds, reduce fatigue, and engage in appropriate physical exercise.

3. Continue to do exercises that promote recovery of lung function.

4. Patients who have undergone right lung resection should not eat too much at one time and should eat small meals frequently.

5. Patients who undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy after surgery should have a reasonable diet to ensure adequate nutritional intake.

6. Maintain a good attitude and promote recovery.

We have explained so much about the precautions for lung cancer patients above, but what kind of health guidance do we need to give to patients with lung cancer? Because patients with lung cancer are generally depressed, we should let patients actively cooperate with our treatment.
