Home care for oncological patients
With the development of medical science, more and more treatments are emerging and being applied to clinically, which also provides new treatments and hope for cancer patients. Home-based care after discharge from hospital, as has been said, is a very important stage for the improvement of the quality of life and the continuity of life of patients.
Home-based care in the country today is carried out mainly within the family by families without a medical basis, and home-based care for oncological patients is a process of company with warmth and responsibility. In this process, family members play multiple roles as caregivers and psychological supporters, as well as mentors of rehabilitation training. So what’s home-care about?
This is particularly the case for lung cancer. Adequate nutritional support and a reasonable diet play a significant role in the rehabilitation of patients.
The principle of diet follows the three-thirty-thirty-thirty principles, namely, high protein, high vitamins, high cellulose and low salt, low lipid and low sugar. Ingestion of sufficient proteins to ensure nutrition and to promote increased immunity while preventing constipation and the exacerbation of conditions by increasing abdominal pressure in the toilet.
Rehabilitation training is important for post-pulmonary cancer patients and is carried out in all aspects, including physical training, respiratory training and coughing and coughing, in order to facilitate better rehabilitation of patients.
1. diarrhea + lip breathing
Abdominal breathing method:
Take a recoil or seat and relax all over the body; put a belly button in the right hand and a chest in the left hand; inhale in the inhaled air and spread out to the outer abdomen to the maximum extent possible (the feeling of the abdominal hand lifting up); exhale in the breath to the maximum extent possible (the feeling of abdominal hand falling). 1-2 per day for 5-15 minutes each.
2. Respiration of the lip
The piping method:
Inhalation with the nose; air-shrinks with low-shrimp lips and light-spring out of the gas; air-inhaling and air-out ratios of 1: (2-3), with an average of 1.2.3.4.5.6 silent hours of air-inhalation and an average of 1.2.3.4.5.6 per hour; and three to four daily exercises of 15 to 30 minutes each.
3. Lower limb movement
If the patient needs to be bedridden, he or she has to do more lower limb or passive exercise, do some moving ankles, either on his or her own or with the help of his or her family, and promote the reflow of blood from the lower limb veins and prevent the deep disempowerment of the lower limb.
Active arch bridge movement (bed)
The patient is asked to take up the recoil, with his legs on his knees, his hands on his side, his waist on his back, and lift his head (if this is not possible, the family can help the patient). 30 each, two per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
5. Air pedals (beds)
The patient stayed on top of his body, had his lower knee raised above the air, had to exercise his bike and breathe. 30 each, two per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
6. Upper limb movement
Rotating inside and outside the shoulder joints, spreading the chest, shrugging the shoulders and lifting the hands; climbing the walls; touching the side of the ear, combing the hair with empty hands and stretching the seat. 30 each, two per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
7. Lower limb movement
Sitting next to the bed, standing up and walking on foot. Three times for 15 minutes each, one in the morning, noon and one in the afternoon.
Upon discharge, some patients “take a tube out of the hospital” such as a PICC catheter, urine tube, stomach tube, intestinal tube, etc., and are required to perform home-based care in accordance with the terms of medical care during hospitalization. In case of heat, the patient carrying the PICC catheter should avoid sweating and, in particular, exposure to water vapour in the shower, which increases the risk of infection. The PICC catheters are required to be maintained every seven days, and the maintenance manual is to be maintained at the hospital.
The urea and gastric tubes can be replaced according to the material schedule, with a stomach tube of 10 or 42 days and a urine tube of 7 or 30 days. Retention of the catheters requires local cleaning and cleaning on a daily basis. The retention tube should also be provided with clean care, and the catheters must be washed in a timely manner, so as to avoid congestion and disruption of use.
(b) To communicate with the patient in all forms, to learn about and promptly channel negative emotions, to meet his or her psychological needs, to monitor his or her mental state, to take timely account of his or her psychological changes and to encourage his or her treatment. When the patient ‘ s physical condition permits, outdoor exercise, such as short walk, walk and gardening, can be carried out together to stimulate the patient ‘ s life.
Subject to medical advice and review, the examination items for the review period are determined on an individual basis, and the relevant medical information and home care records of the patient are kept properly. In the event of a deterioration or new symptoms, arrange a review plan in time to avoid delays in treatment.
