How should lung cancer patients be best cared for? Lung cancer patients cannot do without three kinds of care measures

For lung cancer patients, although the treatment process is painful, they are under anesthesia during the operation, and the effect is generally good. Therefore, compared with the treatment of lung cancer, postoperative care is the most difficult time. So how should lung cancer patients be cared for? 1. Prevention of bedsores: Especially for patients in the late stage, their nutritional status is particularly poor, and bedsores are prone to occur, which spread rapidly and are difficult to cure. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce local pressure, change body positions on time, and use air rings, soft pillows, etc. to pad the parts of the body that are prone to pressure to avoid long-term pressure. Keep the skin clean, especially for patients with incontinence. Keep the bed clean and flat, and use a baking lamp to irradiate the broken skin to keep the local area dry. 2. Relieve symptoms: Among the symptoms of lung cancer, fever is particularly common. Therefore, the care for lung cancer patients should pay attention to preventing colds to avoid pneumonia; for irritating coughs, cough suppressants can be given; when patients cough continuously at night, they can drink hot water to relieve irritation in the throat; if there is hemoptysis, hemostatic medicine should be given. When coughing up a lot of blood, notify the doctor immediately, and at the same time make the patient's head tilt to one side, clear the blood in the mouth in time to prevent suffocation, and assist the doctor in rescue. 3. Observation and care of the condition: With the worsening of the condition of advanced lung cancer, it is easy to spread and metastasize. At this time, attention should be paid to observation and corresponding care. Bone metastasis should strengthen limb protection. Intestinal obstruction often occurs in abdominal metastasis. It should be observed whether the patient has symptoms such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain. Edema can occur due to malnutrition and low plasma protein. Edema should be reduced by increasing nutrition and raising the affected limb. 4. Psychological care: Patients with lung cancer often experience fear, pessimism and other emotions. We must pay attention to their care and strive to create a warm and harmonious recuperation environment for patients. They should be placed in single wards, speak kindly and sincerely, encourage patients to express their psychological feelings, and guide them in time, and actively introduce information about the improvement of their condition to patients. According to the above introduction to the various aspects of care that lung cancer patients should have, we can know that postoperative care for lung cancer patients plays a very important role. Family members should turn them over frequently to prevent them from getting sores. In addition, they should pay attention to preventing a large number of complications. Once a problem occurs, seek help from a doctor in a timely manner.
