The dangers of lung cancer puncture

What are the dangers of lung cancer puncture? The harm of lung cancer to people's health cannot be underestimated, so we should try to detect lung cancer as early as possible, and not wait until the disease develops to the late stage when it will be more troublesome to treat. When checking lung cancer, a puncture will be performed. Some patients are more worried about the consequences of lung cancer puncture. Today we will give you a detailed introduction to this issue.

What are the dangers of lung cancer puncture?

The expert explained to us: Many tests to check whether a person has lung cancer will require a puncture. Lung cancer puncture is generally safe, but there are still certain risks. During the puncture, you should prevent breathing difficulties and pneumothorax. If the lesion is peripheral, it is relatively safe. If it is central, the risk is relatively higher due to its proximity to the heart and large blood vessels. Pathological examination after lung cancer puncture can determine whether the lesion is benign or malignant. It is conducive to diagnosis. Puncture is an invasive operation. If the condition really needs a puncture to clarify the condition, it can be done. Although there are reports that puncture may cause the spread of cancer cells, the probability is very low. Rest well after the puncture and prevent infection of the wound.

Experts remind everyone to take timely care after the puncture, because kidney puncture will cause certain damage to the patient's body. At this time, the care work after kidney puncture surgery becomes the top priority. Let's listen to the experts introduce several ways to care for patients.

1: Stop bleeding: After puncture, lung cancer patients should press the local wound for several minutes to prevent bleeding, and then be pushed into the ward on a stretcher.

2: Pulse measurement: For lung cancer puncture, as long as good care is done, the patient should lie flat for 20 hours, measure blood pressure and pulse every half an hour, and stop measuring blood pressure after 4 hours when blood pressure is stable. If the patient's blood pressure fluctuates greatly or is low, the blood pressure should be measured until it is stable, and symptomatic treatment should be given. If the condition is stable and there is no visible hematuria, the patient can get up and move around.

3. If the patient develops gross hematuria during the 20-hour bed rest period, the bed rest time should be extended until the gross hematuria disappears.
