How to take good care of liver cancer patients after surgery 4 nursing measures for liver cancer

For liver cancer patients, postoperative care is very important, because they consume too much energy during surgery and their bodies are extremely weak, so we must take good care of patients after liver cancer surgery. So, what should we pay attention to in order to help postoperative liver cancer patients take good care?

Nursing for liver cancer

1. Rehabilitation: Medical staff and family members of liver cancer patients should closely observe the state of consciousness, whether there is mental confusion, whether the self-care ability is reduced, whether the personality and behavior are abnormal, and prohibit the high-protein diet. Give carbohydrate-based food to ensure the balance of water, electrolytes and other nutrients. Rest in bed and avoid strenuous exercise. Intermittent oxygen is given for 3-4 days after surgery to protect liver cells.

2. Diet: Dietary care after liver cancer surgery generally requires fasting for 3 days. After intestinal peristalsis is restored, full flow, half flow and normal food are given gradually. Nutritional support should be given to patients with liver dysfunction, loss of appetite and poor nutritional status caused by the disease. When patients can eat, guide them to choose some high-calorie, appropriate amount of high-quality protein, high-vitamin, low-fat, low-sodium, and easily digestible foods. Eat small meals frequently as the basic principle, avoid raw, cold and hard foods, and measure the patient's weight regularly to understand the nutritional status.

3 Cleaning: Strengthen skin care after liver cancer surgery, scrub the whole body with warm water several times a day, keep the cervix and perineum clean, keep the bed clean and dry, and change the bed sheets and hospital gowns once a day. Strengthen oral hygiene care during fasting. Patients and their families should not open the gauze at will or touch the incision with their hands to prevent contamination.

4. Respiratory tract: Due to the large trauma of liver cancer surgery, the diaphragm is elevated, and respiratory movement is limited. If the patient has difficulty coughing and expectorating, 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.
