How to take good care of lung cancer patients after surgery? Nursing methods for lung cancer patients after surgery

Cancer is the most serious disease in the world, among which lung cancer is the most common and prevalent. For lung cancer patients, the best treatment is surgery. However, in order to achieve the purpose of surgery and make the condition improve and recover in time, attention should also be paid to post-operative care.

1. Diet adjustment: The patient has been ill for a long time and is weak, and consumes more calories and protein. This can be adjusted by supplementing dietary nutrition and water, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, and other protein-rich foods and vegetables, fruits and other vitamin-rich foods. Patients should avoid eating stimulating foods, absolutely quit smoking and prohibit excessive drinking.

2. Respiratory function exercises: Patients who have undergone resection surgery should undergo respiratory function exercises as soon as possible, do chest expansion exercises, and take deep breaths at the same time. Chest expansion movements can increase ventilation function and improve the effective capacity of the chest cavity and respiratory function.

3. Psychological care: Psychological care should be emphasized in the postoperative health care of lung cancer patients. Cancer patients are prone to pessimism and world-weariness. The patients' friends and relatives should give more encouragement, communicate with the patients, care and comfort the patients at all times, listen to the patients' stories patiently, make the patients feel the warmth of their loved ones, and maintain the hope of survival.

4. Regular follow-up examination: After receiving treatment, patients should go to the hospital for regular follow-up examinations while recuperating at home. Generally, chest X-ray and liver B-ultrasound examinations are performed every other month after surgery. If necessary, patients should take the initiative to go to the hospital for examination.

Experts kindly remind everyone: When caring for lung cancer, especially for some lung cancer patients who have just undergone surgery, you must use reasonable care methods under the advice of professional doctors, and never let the condition worsen due to improper care.
