summary

Some time ago, I had an appendectomy. After the operation, I worried about the nursing work after the operation. Fortunately, I learned the good method of appendectomy nursing. Now let's popularize the nursing after appendectomy.

How to nurse after appendectomy

First, acute appendicitis is the most common acute abdomen in surgery. Clinically, it is characterized by metastatic right lower abdomen pain and fixed tenderness point in the right lower abdomen. The treatment is mainly surgery. The patients with acute appendicitis should be well prepared for emergency operation before operation, encouraged to get out of bed early after operation, and should be closely observed to prevent postoperative complications such as internal bleeding, incision infection and abdominal residual abscess.

Second, we must do a good job in psychological nursing of patients after operation, patiently explain the cause of disease, analyze the condition, eliminate the patients' fear, stabilize the patients' emotions, give them more care, so that the patients can get spiritual and psychological comfort and encouragement, reduce the ideological pressure, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, and relieve the anxiety of the patients' family members, so that they can actively cooperate with the treatment And care.

Third: according to different anesthesia methods, choose the appropriate lying position. When the patient is not awake after general anesthesia, he should take the flat lying position, with his head leaning to one side, so as to facilitate the discharge of secretions and avoid suffocation caused by aspiration. Such as lumbar anesthesia patients should go to pillow supine 8 hours, to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage caused by headache. Patients under epidural anesthesia should lie on their pillow for 6 hours. Simple appendicitis 12 hours after operation.
