How can lung cancer patients improve lung function after surgery?

Avoidance of risk factors such as pollutants is the primary method of prevention, and the long-term efficacy of lung cancer depends on the type, stage, degree of shift, and overall health of the patient [7]. Most lung cancers are not available, and common methods include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Non-small cell lung cancer is sometimes surgically treated**, while small cell lung cancer (SCLC) usually responds well to chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

In 2012, approximately 1.8 million people worldwide developed new lung cancer and caused 1.6 million deaths [12]. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in men** and the second most common cancer in women after breast cancer. Lung cancer is most commonly diagnosed around the age of 70.

In the United States, overall, patients survive more than 5 years after being diagnosed with lung cancer, while the proportion is lower in developing countries.

Lung cancer patients should increase nutrition after surgery, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and pay attention to keeping warm and not catching a cold. Exercise as your body allows, and gradually improve your lung function.

Start with two things.

2.Enhance nutrition. to repair and improve the function of the lungs. Make the respiratory system more healthy. For example, increasing vitamin E. Vitamin B. Protein. Vitamin A. All are good for the lungs.

Patients who go home after lung surgery need to pay attention to some details of life, such as patients who are not recommended to have lung surgery for a long time in bed rest, which is not conducive to the recovery of the lungs. Patients undergoing lung surgery should be encouraged to be normal and even consciously do some activities after surgery. In addition, after lung surgery, patients still have some damage to the airway due to anesthesia and intubation, so that the ability to discharge phlegm is slightly reduced for a period of time after surgery.

How to improve lung function in patients with pneumonia after surgery? Patients returning home after lung surgery need to be aware to: Some details of life, such as prolonged bed rest are not recommended for patients undergoing lung surgery, which is not conducive to the recovery of the lungs.

Smoke encourages patients undergoing lung surgery to be normal. Even consciously do some exercises, in addition, after lung surgery, patients still have some damage to the airway due to anesthesia intubation, so that the ability to discharge salt for a period of time after surgery. If there is a reduction.

Can do some physical **. For example, patting the back requires the patient to drain the remaining secretions from the respiratory tract.

The problem is this, after lung cancer surgery, to improve lung function, you can practice abdominal breathing, and when you inhale, the diaphragm moves up and down to increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity, squeezing the organs downward, causing the abdomen to distend. The diaphragm may be higher than normal during exhalation. Breathing deeply can exhale carbon dioxide from the base of your lungs and improve lung function.

How to exercise after lung cancer surgery.

Patients after lung cancer surgery are more likely to hope for the recovery of lung function, so what should patients pay attention to after lung cancer surgery? There are two pathways to the recovery of lung function.

First: "Balloon blowing" exercise.

Second: Exercise properly.

Balloon blowing can start from the first postoperative day, first take a deep breath, blow out quickly until the end, such a balloon blowing action can be carried out 200 times, and it is more appropriate to do it from the first day after surgery to two weeks after surgery.

After two weeks after surgery, appropriate exercise can be performed, and patients with lung cancer surgery are encouraged to exercise at a moderate intensity.

For the level of exercise intensity is low, medium and high, you can master the following principles:

Low-impact exercise – Talking and singing while doing exercise can be done at the same time.

Moderate-intensity exercise – only talking and not singing while doing exercise.

High-intensity exercise – Singing and talking while doing exercise is not possible.

How to improve this function, the most important thing is to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and then, well, eating some vitamins is a better lung cancer, it can also use ions and the like, boiling water to drink these can be slowly cured, because many people are cured in this way, in addition to these, they have to eat some vitamin things, and then eat more vegetables and fruits, eat more carrots, etc., that will also be good.

Lung cancer patients mainly carry out respiratory function after surgery, and to discharge sputum in time, they can promote the recovery of cardiopulmonary function as soon as possible by walking, tai chi, etc. But be careful not to catch a cold.

After the operation of lung cancer patients, they should first do some respiratory exercises, you can take a deep breath, slowly exhale the gas in the lungs slowly, exercise 3 times a day, and breathe 20-30 times a time, which is the best effect on lung function.

If you want to exercise after the surgery, you probably need to do some yoga exercises properly, and then you can also walk a little exercise, you must have balanced nutrition, and slowly let the body recover, not do some strenuous exercises, and you can't do exercises for a long time.

First of all, don't exercise vigorously for the first three weeks, you can massage your limbs properly, and after a month, jog for half an hour every morning, and then add ten minutes of running time every week. Run until you jog for an hour and a half every day.

You can exercise your body by running, doing sit-ups, push-ups, planks, and skipping rope.

In fact, you can take a walk after eating or use some sports equipment.

1. Fully analgesic, relieve tension and relax muscles: postoperative patients often restrict breathing due to wound pain and muscle tension throughout the body, breathing fast and shallow, in addition to the application of analgesic drugs, can take a semi-recumbent position, put a pillow under the knees, maintain a comfortable posture, gently move or massage the neck and shoulder blades to eliminate muscle tension, so that the breathing can maintain an appropriate frequency and amplitude. All 15 patients in this group were instilled with epidural anesthesia tube after surgery to infuse analgesics combined with muscle relaxation, and 90% of the patients had 22 28 min of breathing in the first 72 hours.

2. Implement the best training of auxiliary breathing activities: with the patient's expiratory action, the hand compresses the thoracic cage, which can make the inspiratory thorax expand, enhance the inspiratory volume and airflow velocity, and promote the movement of bronchial secretions, and the thoracic cage can also be stiffened due to exercise, thereby promoting the expansion of the residual lungs.

3. Guided breathing: The cases in this group were given breathing guidance after awakening from anesthesia, and deep breathing was carried out 10 20 times every 2 hours, and abdominal breathing was strengthened in the supine position until the chest drainage tube was removed at 48 72 h, which was conducive to lung expansion, improved lung ventilation function, and improved lung compliance.

After the surgery, the doctor will also recommend the patient to blow up the balloon every day to exercise to restore the lung function. Balloon blowing should be done from day one, at least two weeks. When blowing up the balloon, don't blow it up a few times in a row, but blow it up in one breath and try to be as fast as possible.

Follow the doctor's advice, take medicine on time every day, and exercise your lungs in moderation, but don't overdo it, and slowly increase your lung function.

Take a walk, keep exercising, slowly increase the amount of exercise, do lung function exercises, and eat a healthy diet to supplement nutrients.

At present, there are also professional institutions in China to provide professional guidance and suggestions for the postoperative problems of cancer patients, which are of constructive significance for the acceleration of postoperative surgery, the improvement of survival rate, and the improvement of quality of life.

It involves the guidance of the patient's diet, exercise, sleep, nutrition, psychology and other aspects!

Coughing, deep breathing, chest expansion exercises, balloon blowing, breathing machines.

You can eat for therapy, or you can do some simple exercises.

The patient is of advanced age and has signs of declining lung function. Whether it is necessary to re-operate should consider the following two issues: 1. Preoperative pulmonary function test, if the pulmonary ventilation function index is still within the normal range, the breath can be held for more than 30 seconds, and the left upper lung resection can be tolerated; 2. Preoperative CT and bronchoscopy evaluation, whether there is a possibility of complete resection of the lesion in the left upper lung, if the lesion has exceeded this range, or the lymph nodes have metastasized, and the operation is impossible to remove the metastasized lymph nodes, there is no need for surgery, and precise positioning of radiotherapy such as the knife can also shrink the lump.
