How to care after radiofrequency ablation of liver cancer? Nursing methods for radiofrequency ablation of liver cancer

Radiofrequency ablation is a good surgical method for treating liver cancer. The RFA electrode needle passes through the tumor to release radio frequency, and the electrode needle generates ion oscillation around the cancer cell tissue. The ion oscillation friction generates heat, which increases the temperature of the tumor tissue to 80-110 degrees, directly causing coagulative necrosis of tumor cells. Postoperative care after completing radiofrequency ablation for liver cancer is also very important.

Everyone knows that having cancer is a very painful thing. Not only does it require chemotherapy but also surgery. Patients have to endure extreme pain. When liver cancer is diagnosed in the early stages, it feels like the sky is falling. If patients are diagnosed with liver cancer, they must not be discouraged. This is not an incurable disease. As long as they actively cooperate with the treatment, maintain a good attitude, and live a healthy life, then complete recovery will not be a problem.

Radiofrequency ablation is a very good surgical method for treating liver cancer. Radiofrequency ablation uses CT and color ultrasound scans, punctures the skin tissue, and uses RFA electrode needles to accurately penetrate tumor cells. The RFA electrode needles generate ion vibrations and friction around the tumor cells to generate heat, causing local high temperatures in the tumor cells, directly ablating cancer cells. Radiofrequency ablation has the advantages of being targeted, minimally invasive, and having few side effects.

How should we care after surgery? After radiofrequency ablation, patients must rest in bed according to the doctor's instructions. The venous puncture site needs to be compressed with a sandbag for 5 hours, and the arterial puncture site needs to be compressed with a sandbag for 9-11 hours. Let the patient rest without moving, and always pay attention to observe whether there are bleeding symptoms. It is recommended to eat liquid food and other easily digestible foods during bed rest; closely observe the heart rate in the early stage after radiofrequency ablation. If there is any discomfort, report it to the doctor in time. If you feel that the attack will recur, but it has not really occurred, don't be nervous and don't need special treatment.

Liver cancer patients must remember to refrain from drinking alcohol and other liver-damaging behaviors after surgery, avoid eating too greasy food, avoid eating raw and cold food, and avoid intestinal infection. After surgery, you can take some dietary therapy: you should eat more white fungus, mushrooms, spinach, carrots, winter melon, turtle, eggs, milk and other ingredients. The processing method can be the same as the usual home consumption method, without special processing. Drinking: It is recommended that patients drink more tea, which is very effective for liver cancer. Common and famous Tieguanyin, Longjing before the rain and other teas are good. Drink more dairy products. Medical research shows that if you use dairy products every day without drinking, such as pure milk and yogurt, the chance of preventing cancer recurrence is as high as 80%. Another important point in postoperative care is to keep your body and mind happy and not get angry. Long-term depression or tension can lead to many complications. Postoperative care for physical and mental happiness is very important.
