What are the nursing methods after lung cancer surgery? 4 nursing methods after lung cancer surgery

Lung cancer is a very common cancer. Although it is cancer, we must actively treat it. Surgery is a very effective method for treating lung cancer. However, we cannot ignore the postoperative care of lung cancer. Let us learn about the postoperative care methods of lung cancer.

The main nursing methods after lung cancer surgery are:

1. Lung cancer patients should resume normal diet within 1-2 days after surgery, starting with a liquid diet. When there is no obvious discomfort, they can then transition to a semi-liquid diet and a normal diet.

2. After lung cancer surgery, the diet should also pay attention to the balance of various nutrients, avoid fishy and greasy food, spicy food, tobacco, alcohol and other irritating foods, so as to facilitate the body's recovery after surgery.

3. Rehabilitation training for lung cancer patients should start as early as possible. Deep breathing exercises should be performed in bed in the early stage. For those with a lot of phlegm, coughing and expectoration exercises should be performed, and limb activities should be carried out to prevent lower limb thrombosis.

4. Starting from the second day after surgery, family members will assist the patient in bending and lifting the upper limbs, and gradually increase the range of motion to prevent muscle stiffness on the affected upper limb and limited limb movement in the future. Postoperative patients should persist in physical exercise for a long time. Walking is a very good way to improve cardiopulmonary function.

Warm reminder: I hope that lung cancer patients and their families can remember the nursing methods mentioned above. This will be of great help to the patient's recovery after surgery. Because there are many complications after lung cancer surgery. So you must not relax, and you must contact the doctor immediately if you find any problems.
