Nursing measures for liver cancer

1. Balanced diet: Liver cancer patients consume a lot of energy, so they must be guaranteed to have enough nutrition. The simplest way to measure the nutritional status of patients is whether they can maintain their weight. To maintain a normal weight, the best way is to maintain a balanced diet, requiring patients to eat more fresh vegetables, and half of them should be green leafy vegetables.

2. Fat and protein: A high-fat diet can affect and aggravate the condition, while a low-fat diet can alleviate symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension in liver cancer patients. Liver cancer patients have poor appetite and eat less. If they do not have a balanced diet, they must increase the calories of their diet and eat crude fat that is easy to digest and absorb. Liver cancer patients should eat more foods rich in plant protein, especially high-quality plant protein.

3. Vitamins: Vitamins A, C, E, K, etc. have certain auxiliary anti-tumor effects. Vitamin C is mainly found in fresh vegetables and fruits. Carotene can be converted into vitamin A after entering the human body, so liver cancer patients should eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C.

4. Inorganic salts: minerals. Nutritionists divide inorganic salts into two categories: macroelements, such as calcium, sodium, potassium, etc.; trace elements, such as selenium, zinc, iodine, etc. Scientists have found that minerals such as selenium and iron have anti-cancer effects.

5. Liver cancer patients often have symptoms of indigestion such as loss of appetite, nausea, and abdominal distension, so they should eat easily digestible food.

6. Most patients with advanced liver cancer are in a state of systemic failure and have difficulty eating. They should focus on strengthening their body and eat easily digestible foods.

Liver cancer patients should avoid excessive emotional fluctuations after surgery, and should be calm and cheerful. At the same time, pay attention to rest. It is best not to choose strenuous exercise for health care. You can choose other relatively good exercise methods, such as Bitu Tai Chi, which are very effective for nursing and health care after liver cancer surgery.

Pay attention to complications after liver cancer surgery

After treatment, patients may have some complications, and family members must pay attention to monitoring. Avoid some adverse symptoms. If they occur, you must ask the doctor to treat them in time. If the body temperature is too high, give alcohol baths and ice compresses in time, and give drugs to cool down if necessary. Pay attention to keeping warm, prevent cold, and replenish water in time to avoid excessive cooling and collapse. To prevent infection, antibiotics can be used before and after surgery. When the pain in the right upper abdomen is severe, analgesics should be used. Pay close attention to whether there is difficulty breathing, coughing, cyanosis, respiratory rate, heart rate, and heart rhythm changes, and treat them in time if abnormal.
