Liver cancer has always been feared by people. Many people will panic when they have liver cancer and try all kinds of treatments. In fact, this will not only cause considerable mental pressure on the patient, but also have a negative impact on the improvement of the disease. How should liver cancer patients be cared for? Let's take a look!

Liver cancer care methods

1. Active treatment is the key

Birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of human life. If a family member finds out that their child has cancer, they should not panic or cry. Instead, they should actively consult and check with multiple hospitals for advanced liver cancer. Once diagnosed, they should immediately seek treatment. According to the condition, the patient's physical condition and the family's financial situation, they should choose the best treatment plan to reduce the patient's pain and prolong the patient's life.

2. Discharge guidance increases "stamina"

After discharge, patients should take medicine on time according to the doctor's instructions, have regular checkups, and receive regular radiotherapy and chemotherapy. If there are any problems, call the lymphoma treatment center at any time or go to the hospital for examination in time. And prevent patients from catching colds, getting angry, and having mood swings. Try to meet the various needs of patients, strengthen nutrition, improve immunity, improve the quality of life, and prolong the life of patients. Let patients spend their lives happily. The family is his (her) greatest strong support and guarantee, so family care work cannot be ignored.

3. Pain care

Many patients with liver cancer experience liver pain, which makes them unable to sleep or eat. What should they do? In the late stage of liver cancer, tumor tissue necrosis can cause pain in the tumor area. While strengthening the observation of the patient's condition, nurses should also do a good job of comforting the patient. When the pain is intolerable, closely observe the location, nature, and degree of the pain to distinguish it from pain caused by other complications, and relieve the pain according to the doctor's orders when necessary.

4. Psychological care

Generally, patients with diseases are in a bad mood, let alone patients with liver cancer. Patients with liver cancer are blocked from upgrading and their mood will be even worse. In the late stage of liver cancer, patients know that they are in the last stage of their lives and cannot accept the reality that they will lose their relatives and friends and leave the world forever. In addition to the adverse reactions during the diagnosis and treatment process and the unbearable cancer pain, they often show great depression, anxiety, irregular life, lack of concentration, loss of appetite and fatigue. Therefore, nurses should try their best to keep patients hopeful, accept treatment, insist on living, provide psychological care, control pain, and improve the quality of patients' last stage of life.

5. Basic nursing

In daily life, patients with liver cancer need to be given relevant care to avoid the deterioration of their disease. Patients with advanced liver cancer have weak constitutions, so basic care should be strengthened. For example, patients who have been bedridden for a long time should be frequently turned over, and their sitting and lying positions should be changed to prevent complications such as bedsores. Oral care should be done for patients with bleeding to keep their airways open and prevent vomitus from being inhaled into the trachea and causing suffocation and death. For patients with severe cancer pain, in addition to timely symptomatic treatment, family members should also give patients spiritual comfort to eliminate their fears. At the same time, they should closely observe the patient's vital signs to detect critical lesions in a timely manner and take effective treatment measures in a timely manner.

6. Diet care

Diet is also very important. Medicine and food have the same origin. We also need to work hard on diet, especially in the late stage of liver cancer. We should pay attention to the color, aroma and taste of food to improve the appetite of patients with late stage liver cancer. Give non-irritating and easily digestible food, the temperature should be appropriate, and the eating speed should be slow. Patients with late stage liver cancer can eat some Zhongshu porridge, such as Astragalus porridge, Codonopsis pilosula, and red dates porridge, which can nourish the spleen and replenish qi. Do not lie flat for half an hour after a meal. Patients with late stage liver cancer are forbidden to eat greasy or fried food. Those who vomit can be given antiemetics, and total intravenous nutritional support can be given when necessary. Patients with late stage liver cancer should limit or fast protein when blood ammonia is high. The heat source of patients with late stage liver cancer is mainly carbohydrates, and fruits and vegetables can be selected.

Since liver cancer is closely related to people's lives, careful care must be provided after the treatment is completed. Because the recurrence rate of this disease is extremely high, inadequate care may lead to the disease reoccurring. In order to effectively prevent the occurrence of various malicious incidents, it is necessary to understand these contents.
