How to relieve vomiting blood in liver cancer? Inventory of nursing measures for liver cancer

What should I do if I vomit blood due to liver cancer? The most appropriate nursing method should be selected according to different symptoms, especially when vomiting blood symptoms occur. Next, let's take a look at the daily care of liver cancer and how to care after vomiting blood.

Daily care measures for liver cancer

Balanced diet: Liver cancer patients consume a lot of energy, so it is very important to ensure adequate nutrition supply. The best way to measure whether nutrition is adequate is to measure weight. To maintain a normal weight, you need to maintain a reasonable and balanced diet and eat more vegetables.

Strengthen psychological care: reduce the psychological burden of patients. Specific measures for liver cancer care include informing patients that surgical resection can give patients with early liver cancer a chance of radical cure; comprehensive treatment of liver cancer may transform previously unresectable large liver cancer into one that can be treated surgically, and turn an incurable disease into a curable disease, so that patients can expect to have a longer survival time. When patients are grieving, an open and supportive environment should be provided, respecting the patients, showing sympathy and understanding, and letting family members understand the importance of venting. Discuss and plan measures to care for the patients with family members, allow family members to participate in the care of the patients, and encourage family members to communicate more with the patients. Through various psychological care measures, promote the patient's adaptive response.

Appropriate exercise: Liver cancer patients who can return to work should do so as much as possible (it must be light physical labor). This is because patients are idle at home all day and will always think of themselves as patients, which increases their mental burden and is not conducive to recovery. Appropriate exercise and returning to work with co-workers can help them let go of their mental burden to a certain extent, which is beneficial to their health.

Avoid high fat: Foods that are too high in fat will affect or even aggravate the condition, so controlling fat intake can relieve the patient's symptoms such as abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting; because liver cancer patients have poor appetite, it is necessary to increase the calories of the diet and ensure the easy absorption of food. Patients can eat more foods rich in high-quality protein.

Reduce or effectively relieve pain: For patients with severe pain after liver lobe and partial liver resection, active and effective analgesia should be given. If the patient has a pain pump, teach the patient how to use it and observe the drug effects and side effects. Instruct the patient on how to control pain and distract attention. 48 hours after surgery, if the condition permits, the patient can take a semi-recumbent position to reduce the tension on the incision.

So, what should you do if liver cancer causes vomiting blood?

How to stop bleeding in liver cancer

Endoscopic hemostasis: In general, endoscopic sclerotherapy is used for patients who are ineffective with conservative medical treatment. The hemostasis rate for acute bleeding in patients can reach 95%. Embolization of the blood vessels at the bleeding site is used to achieve the purpose of hemostasis. If the bleeding site of the patient cannot be determined, thrombin can be sprayed under the endoscope to stop the bleeding.

Drug hemostasis: If the bleeding of gastric fundus vein and esophageal bleeding is caused by portal hypertension due to liver cancer, we should find a way to reduce the portal pressure, and the patient can take some hemostatic drugs to stop the bleeding. At the same time, hemostatic agents can also be used to stop the bleeding. Therefore, the care of patients with this disease is relatively strict, and the nursing staff should strictly follow the nursing instructions to care for the patients.
