Precautions before and after operation
Operation is an important medical process. For patients, some precautions should be taken before and after the operation to ensure the smooth operation and postoperative recovery. This article will elaborate on preoperative examination, diet adjustment, medication guidance and rest recovery.
Preoperative examination
Before surgery, doctors usually carry out a series of examinations on patients to assess their condition and surgical risks. These examinations include blood tests, electrocardiogram, X-ray, ultrasound, etc. to determine whether the patient is suitable for surgery. The patient should actively cooperate with the doctor's arrangement and carry out relevant examinations according to the doctor's instructions.
In addition, before the operation, the patient also needs to inform the doctor of his allergy history, medication history, disease history, etc., so as to avoid affecting the operation effect due to personal physical conditions. Doctors will develop personalized operation plans and anesthesia plans based on these information to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
It is worth mentioning that patients should reasonably arrange their own time and travel before the operation, and try to avoid taking a car for a long time, overeating, etc., so as to maintain good physical condition and prepare for the operation.
Diet adjustment
Diet adjustment before operation is one of the most important matters. Generally, the patient should fast 6 to 8 hours before the operation to keep the gastrointestinal tract clear and avoid dyspnea caused by stomach contents entering the trachea during the operation. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid drinking caffeinated drinks before the operation, so as not to increase the discomfort and discomfort during the operation.
Preoperative diet adjustment also includes abstinence and smoking cessation. Alcohol and nicotine will interfere with the role of anesthetics during surgery and increase the risk of surgery. Therefore, the patient should avoid drinking and smoking for a period of time before the operation, so as not to affect the operation and postoperative recovery.
After surgery, patients also need to adjust their diet according to the doctor's advice. Generally, the patient will gradually return to the normal diet after surgery, but it is necessary to avoid excessively irritating food, so as not to stimulate the surgical wound and cause infection or pain.
Medication guidance
Before the operation, the doctor will guide the patient to use drugs reasonably according to the condition and operation needs. The patient should take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, and try to avoid changing the dosage or stopping the medicine, so as not to affect the smooth operation. Especially for drugs used for a long time, such as drugs for chronic diseases, patients should inform doctors in advance so that doctors can adjust the medication plan.
After surgery, doctors usually prescribe some drugs to relieve pain and antibiotics to prevent infection. The patient needs to take the medicine on time and in accordance with the doctor's instructions to ensure the efficacy and safety of the medicine. At the same time, patients should also pay attention not to interact with other drugs during the medication to avoid adverse reactions.
Rest recovery
Rest recovery after surgery is very important. Generally, there will be a certain recovery period after the operation, during which the patient needs to take full rest to avoid excessive activity and strenuous exercise. Rest can not only help the physical recovery, reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, but also improve the patient's self perception and psychological stability.
After the operation, the patient also needs to pay attention to the wound care. According to the doctor's instructions, the dressing should be changed regularly to keep the wound clean and dry, so as to avoid infection and interference with the healing of the surgical wound. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to avoid scratching the wound, contaminating the dirt and other behaviors, so as not to cause wound infection or expand the scope of the wound.
In a word, the matters needing attention before and after the operation include preoperative examination, diet adjustment, medication guidance and rest recovery. The patient should actively cooperate with the doctor's arrangement and guidance to ensure the success of the operation and postoperative recovery.
