What are the nursing care after lung cancer surgery?
After lung cancer surgery, correct daily nursing should be carried out to speed up the recovery of patients' physical function and reduce the possibility of recurrence of lung cancer to some extent. Nursing measures after lung cancer surgery are as follows.

(1) After lung cancer surgery, patients should be forbidden to smoke, so as not to promote recurrence. Patients with pulmonary hypofunction should be instructed to gradually increase their exercise.

(2) Pay attention to the patient's recovery at any time after operation. If there is a recurrence, please go to the hospital for a doctor's consultation immediately to decide whether to have radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

(3) Postoperative lung squamous cell carcinoma is easy to invade the local area, leading to intrathoracic recurrence.

(4) Lung adenocarcinoma or undifferentiated carcinoma is prone to distant metastasis, such as lymph nodes, bones, liver, brain and contralateral lung.

(5) Always pay attention to patients with fever, severe cough, blood in sputum, shortness of breath, chest pain, headache, vision change, liver pain, bone pain, supraclavicular lymph node enlargement, liver area enlargement, etc. If you find the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital in time. At the same time, patients should go to the hospital regularly for chest fluoroscopy and take fresh sputum to check cancer cells.
