How to care for lung cancer patients after surgery? Two principles should be followed in caring for lung cancer patients

Lung cancer is a respiratory disease that is relatively common in clinical practice. When caring for this disease, we should do a good job of medication care, because not only lung cancer patients, but also many patients with malignant tumors use special drugs, which will cause irreversible consequences once used. This is why we need to do a good job of caring for this disease.

1. Nursing Routine for Lung Cancer: Nursing During Chemotherapy

1. Because most drugs are highly toxic, and lung cancer patients are older and in poor general condition, nursing care should be focused on preventing and reducing the toxic side effects of chemotherapy;

2. Drugs that are effective for lung cancer, such as doxorubicin, are cardiotoxic and require electrocardiogram monitoring to pay attention to signs of left heart failure such as shortness of breath and chest tightness;

3. Cyclophosphamide and cisplatin are nephrotoxic, so patients should be hydrated and their kidneys should be monitored.

2. Routine nursing care for lung cancer: radiotherapy care

1. As the patient's team nurse, you should first understand the patient's basic condition, radiotherapy plan positioning and planning;

2. Eliminate the patient's fear of radiotherapy and explain the possible systemic and local reactions and precautions that may occur during radiotherapy;

3. Keep warm and prevent colds to avoid radiation pneumonia.

If we still have questions about the nursing points and precautions for lung cancer, we can consult experts again. Furthermore, we can also provide symptomatic care according to the patient's specific situation. With the continuous improvement of our medical level, not only lung cancer but also many patients with malignant tumors have greatly improved in treatment effects, which is a very good phenomenon for patients.
