Where to start preventing and treating liver cancer? Several nursing measures for liver cancer

We must do relevant prevention and treatment work for liver cancer. There are many patients suffering from liver cancer clinically. Liver cancer is a very difficult disease to treat. When encountering liver cancer, we must go to the hospital for timely treatment in the early stages and take timely treatment measures so that we can better prevent and treat this disease.

Where should we start in preventing and treating liver cancer?

Diet care:

Generally, patients should fast for 3 days, and after intestinal peristalsis is restored, they should be given full flow, half flow and normal food. Due to liver dysfunction, loss of appetite and poor nutritional status, nutritional support should be given. When patients can eat, they should be guided to choose some high-calorie, moderate-quality protein, high-vitamin, low-fat, low-sodium and easily digestible foods. The basic principle is to eat small meals frequently, avoid raw, cold and hard foods, and measure the patient's weight regularly to understand the nutritional status.

Respiratory care:

Due to the large surgical trauma, elevated diaphragm, and limited respiratory movement, if the patient has difficulty coughing and expectoration, nebulization inhalation can be given. After each nebulization inhalation, the patient should be turned over in time, tapped on the back, and instructed to press the incision with both hands, take a deep breath and cough. Encourage the patient to cough up the sputum.

Psychological care:

Patients with advanced liver cancer are in great psychological pain, and may be anxious, irritable, or even have suicidal thoughts. When caring for them, we must pay more attention to their psychology and emotions, so that they can build up their confidence in fighting cancer as much as possible. Patients should build up their confidence in defeating the disease, keep their emotions stable, be in a good mood, cooperate with various treatments and care with a positive and optimistic attitude, and recover as soon as possible.

Cleaning care:

Because drainage tubes, retained catheters, malnutrition and excessive sputum can be potential risks of infection, skin care should be strengthened, the whole body should be scrubbed with warm water several times a day, the vagina and perineum should be kept clean, the bed should be kept clean and dry, and the bed sheets and hospital gowns should be changed once a day. Oral care should be strengthened during fasting. Patients and their families should not uncover the gauze at will or touch the incision with their hands to prevent contamination. When replacing each drainage tube, it must be disinfected with a dilute iodine tincture cotton swab, antibiotics should be used reasonably, infection should be prevented and controlled, and physical signs should be closely observed within 5 days after surgery: whether there are bleeding spots, cyanosis and jaundice, observe the exudation and bleeding of the wound, and monitor the patient's urine sugar, urine specific gravity, and urine volume. Reasonably arrange the order of infusion to provide a reliable basis for patient diagnosis and treatment.

Rehabilitation care:

Patients undergoing liver lobectomy should be closely observed for mental confusion, reduced self-care ability, abnormal personality and behavior, and high-protein diets. Carbohydrate-based foods should be given to ensure the balance of water, electrolytes and other nutrients. Bed rest and avoid strenuous exercise. Cleaning the intestines before surgery can reduce the source of blood ammonia and eliminate some factors that may cause hepatic encephalopathy after surgery. Intermittent oxygen should be given for 3-4 days after surgery to protect liver cells. Keep blood oxygen saturation above 95%.

Through the introduction, we learned some common sense about where to start in preventing and treating liver cancer, so that we can take good care measures for liver cancer in our daily lives, so that we can effectively prevent and treat the symptoms of liver cancer in our daily lives and avoid the harm it brings to us.
