What are the nursing methods for glioma

For glioma patients, good care is not only beneficial to the treatment of the disease, but also can help patients recover better to a great extent. So what are the care methods for glioma? What should we pay attention to in daily care? This is a question that many patients are concerned about. Let's discuss it with the editor below.

1. Build confidence in the recovery period and have a correct understanding of the disease. Avoid changes in the disease caused by mental factors. Provide enthusiastic care and counseling for patients, do a good job in psychological rehabilitation, eliminate patients' refusal to treat and despair, increase their confidence in overcoming the disease, and transform the negative psychological state into a positive and proactive treatment state, thereby enhancing immune function.

2. The principle of eating food should be rich in protein and easily digestible. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid fatty and greasy foods. Protect the airway from being blocked, clear secretions in time, give oxygen regularly, and use a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to give oxygen if conditions permit.

3. For severe vomiting, attention should be paid to the administration of energy mixture and Shengmai injection; for those who are bedridden for a long time, attention should be paid to the care of bedsores; try to avoid coughing, sneezing, and retching, and pay attention to keeping bowel movements unobstructed.

4. During radiotherapy, the patient's condition should be closely monitored and the occurrence of cerebral edema and brain herniation should be guarded. During critical periods, the patient's body position should be adjusted. When there is no shock, the head of the bed can be raised 15-30 degrees. The neck should not be twisted or the chest should not be compressed to facilitate intracranial venous flow.

5. For patients who need postoperative radiotherapy, it is usually performed 2 weeks or 1 month after discharge. Blood counts should be measured regularly during radiotherapy. If you experience symptoms such as general discomfort and poor appetite during radiotherapy, you should communicate with the radiotherapy physician in a timely manner.
