**Appendicitis is generally mainly surgically removed, but everyone should pay attention to the fact that the care after appendicitis surgery is very important, because just after the operation, the wound is easy to infect, and careful care is required at this time, so what are the care methods after appendicitis? Let's take a look.

Postoperative care of appendicitis:

1. Postoperative care for appendicitis includes, according to different anesthesia methods, choose the appropriate lying position, such as spinal anesthesia patients should lie flat for 6 12 hours to prevent headache caused by cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

Continuous epidural anesthesia allows the patient to lie flat on a low pillow.

2.Observing vital signs, measuring blood pressure and pulse every hour, three times in a row until stable, is the main care measure after appendicitis surgery.

If the pulse rate is elevated or blood pressure is low, bleeding is considered and the wound should be observed and necessary measures should be taken.

3.12 hours after resection for single appendicitis, or after resection for gangrenous or perforated appendicitis, if a drain is placed, it should be switched to a semi-recumbent or low position, and then moved to a semi-recumbent position after blood pressure has stabilized to facilitate drainage and prevent inflammatory exudate from entering the abdominal cavity.

4. Diet is one of the postoperative care of appendicitis: fasting on the day of surgery, liquid intake on the first day after surgery, soft food on the second day, and normal eating on the third and fourth days.

As long as the above methods are simply cared for after the surgery, the wound will heal quickly, and everyone will no longer suffer from appendicitis.

If the patient is under epidural anesthesia after appendicitis surgery, the patient should be instructed to lie flat for 6 hours before getting out of bed. If the patient is under general anesthesia, take care to tilt the patient's head to one side to avoid aspiration. In addition, the patient's vital signs, abdominal symptoms, and signs should be monitored at all times.

If the patient has an abdominal drain, keep a note of the patient's drainage volume and color. The day after appendicitis surgery, the patient should be instructed to get out of bed as soon as possible, which is conducive to the recovery of the patient's gastrointestinal function. In addition, patients should be encouraged to eat small meals frequently, and the patient should be given a liquid diet at the beginning, if the patient does not have fever, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and other discomforts after eating the liquid diet, the patient can gradually transition to a semi-liquid diet, and then transition to a normal diet.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the patient's wound healing, generally speaking, if the patient's wound is red, swollen, hot, and painful, it is necessary to treat it in time so that the patient can recover well. Patients with appendicitis should mainly eat light and easy-to-digest food after surgery, and usually eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and mineral elements, which can be conducive to the recovery of the patient's condition. After appendicitis surgery, it is necessary to get out of bed as soon as possible, mainly to promote intestinal peristalsis, restore intestinal function, exhaust gas as soon as possible, and eat as soon as possible.

Getting out of bed early can also prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities. In terms of dietary care, the patient can take a small amount of water after passing gas and gradually transition to the diet. Nursing care after appendicitis surgery is particularly important, and the quality of care can also directly affect the speed of recovery of the patient.

It is advisable to get out of bed early, move early, and eat early, which will reduce the complications of appendicitis, such as intestinal adhesions, intestinal obstruction, and the most common complication of appendicitis is incision infection.

Pay attention to your diet and take rest.
