How does arrhythmia do after lung cancer operation

summary

Lung disease, if not treated in time, is likely to change into lung cancer, so more attention should be paid to lung disease, however, there are still many patients with lung cancer disease, so we have to treat them through surgery. Let's talk about arrhythmia after lung cancer surgery.

How does arrhythmia do after lung cancer operation

First, after pneumonectomy in elderly patients with lung cancer, it directly leads to the decrease of effective ventilation area, the decrease of ventilation / blood flow ratio, the increase of alveolar and capillary flow, resulting in pulmonary congestion and pulmonary edema, which aggravates the right heart load; in addition, hypoxia and carbon dioxide accumulation increase the release of catecholamine, which enhances the myocardial autonomy, stress and conductivity, and causes arrhythmia.

Second: postoperative pain is also the cause of arrhythmia, which can not be ignored. Pain makes patients anxious, irritable and even afraid. The content of catecholamine and angiotensin in the body increases, which leads to the enhancement of myocardial autonomy and stress, and is prone to arrhythmia. At the same time, insufficient blood volume, high or low blood pressure, hypokalemia caused by respiratory alkalosis can induce arrhythmia.

Third: surgical treatment is the main means of lung cancer treatment, chest surgery trauma, severe pain, patients in fear, anxiety state of mind, so that sympathetic nervous tension increased, release a lot of catecholamines, myocardial self-discipline and stress enhanced, easy to induce arrhythmia.

matters needing attention

Lung cancer is really a serious disease for patients. Cancer itself is very difficult to cure. It is normal for some problems to appear after surgery, and cause arrhythmia. Patients should not be careless. They should go to the hospital for examination, so that the disease can be treated.
