What should be paid attention to in surgical treatment of lung cancer? Introduction to precautions after lung cancer surgery

In severe cases, lung cancer may affect the lives of patients, so everyone should pay special attention. If there are any problems, timely treatment must be sought. During treatment, you must fully understand the relevant knowledge and pay special attention to some precautions to ensure the effectiveness of the surgery.

What should be paid attention to before lung cancer surgery? There are many things to pay attention to before and after the surgical treatment of the disease. People should follow the preoperative instructions to prepare. Patients with lung cancer need to communicate with the doctor many times before the operation and pay attention to some matters according to the doctor's advice to ensure the smooth progress of the operation. So, what should be paid attention to in the surgical treatment of lung cancer?

1. Preoperative examination results of lung cancer surgery. If complications are found, they should be dealt with in time. Patients with a history of heart disease and obvious abnormalities in electrocardiogram, hypertension, diabetes, and cor pulmonale before surgery should consult with relevant specialist departments and receive standardized treatment. Surgery can be performed after the above conditions are under control.

Second, before lung cancer surgery, the risk factors of related complications must be addressed to prevent and reduce the occurrence of complications. For example, smoking, low lung function, and lung infection are high-risk factors for acute respiratory failure after lung surgery. Therefore, smoking cessation and respiratory function training are emphasized before surgery. Before surgery, nebulizer inhalation and intravenous injection of Mucosolvan are routinely given to reduce sputum. Antibiotics are used to prevent infection starting 3 days before surgery.

Things to note after lung cancer surgery:

1. For patients, maintaining a calm mindset and actively cooperating with surgical treatment will have a positive impact on survival time after surgery.

2. Diet care. The dietary care that needs to be paid attention to after lung cancer surgery is mainly based on the principle of balanced nutrition and improving the patient's immunity. The food should be light, soft, easy to digest and absorb, and able to supplement sufficient nutrition. When choosing and supplementing food, you can start with a liquid diet. When there is no obvious discomfort, you can transition to semi-liquid food and normal food to speed up the patient's recovery. This is a very important care after lung cancer surgery. Correct care can quickly restore the patient's physical strength and help with later treatment.

This is the end of the introduction to what you need to pay attention to during surgical treatment of lung cancer. I hope the above introduction can help more lung cancer patients. In addition, I would like to remind patients that postoperative care measures are very important and play a vital role in the patient's physical recovery. Pay attention to reasonable and effective care of your health to minimize the harm of lung cancer.
