How to generally care for bronchial lung cancer? Eight routine nursing measures for bronchial lung cancer

The care of patients with bronchial lung cancer is based on the patient's specific disease. Furthermore, if you want to know how to take good care of patients with bronchial lung cancer, first of all, the patient's diet care, rest care, and then the patient's physical condition care are essential. Furthermore, you need to know some care principles before you can provide corresponding care.

(1) Provide routine care for respiratory diseases.

(ii) Keep the ward quiet, well-ventilated, and with appropriate temperature and humidity. Perform air disinfection and air bacteria culture monitoring regularly.

(III) Rest in bed. Those with chest pain should lie on the affected side (except for those with pneumothorax). Those with severe hemoptysis should lie flat on their back with their head tilted to one side. Those with dyspnea should lie in a semi-recumbent position and receive oxygen.

(IV) Diet care

Those with dysphagia should be given a liquid diet, and attention should be paid to observe whether there is choking or coughing. If necessary, a nasogastric tube should be placed. During chemotherapy, eat small meals frequently, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and give high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin, and easily digestible foods. Avoid smoking and drinking.

(V) Keep the respiratory tract open, instruct patients on how to cough, expectorate and perform deep breathing exercises correctly, and perform nebulization inhalation, patting the back to expectorate and negative pressure suction as prescribed by the doctor when necessary.

(6) Correctly collect various sputum specimens and send them for examination as required.

(VII) Psychological care: alleviating psychological stress, comforting and encouraging patients to actively cope with the disease, and eliminating anxiety and negative psychology.

(8) Prepare rescue items such as endotracheal intubation and tracheotomy.

Although we have given some knowledge above about the care of patients with bronchial lung cancer, if patients with lung cancer undergo surgical treatment, they still need to take good care of their respiratory tract. Although patients with lung cancer can eat after surgical treatment, if they have a lot of sputum, it will cause certain disease infections.
