How to care for ovarian cancer after chemotherapy and infection

Chemotherapy for ovarian cancer is also one of the main treatments. Many patients have reached an advanced stage and are no longer suitable for surgical treatment. At this time, the main treatments are radiotherapy and chemotherapy. When ovarian cancer patients receive chemotherapy drugs, they not only have a killing effect on cancer cells, but also have a certain killing effect on the normal growth cells of the human body. This damage to normal cells and normal tissues of the human body is called the toxic side effect of chemotherapy drugs.
. The side effects of chemotherapy often make patients unbearable and refuse chemotherapy. Due to damage to the blood, liver, and kidneys, chemotherapy can be carried out as scheduled. However, oncologists will use various means to reduce the toxic side effects of chemotherapy to a level that patients can tolerate. The toxic side effects of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer are often short-lived and can often recover quickly after stopping the drug, but they can also cause serious consequences if not handled properly.
. Prevention and care of infection after chemotherapy for ovarian cancer
. Nursing measures
Ward disinfection and ultraviolet irradiation disinfection twice a day, each time
The floor, walls, bedside tables, and water dispensers etc., wipe and disinfect with
disinfectant
times a day.
During protective isolation and chemotherapy, a single ward is arranged, visits are strictly prohibited, and protective isolation is implemented to prevent cross-infection.
The prevention and care of infection at the injection site strictly adhere to aseptic operation techniques. Use two iodophor cotton swabs to disinfect the injection site several times before injecting.
Before infusing chemotherapy drugs, Use a syringe to draw physiological saline
, then connect it to a disposable scalp needle, and then puncture it. After ensuring that the puncture is successful, connect the prepared chemotherapy liquid. To prevent chemotherapy drugs from penetrating into the subcutaneous tissue due to unsuccessful puncture, causing subcutaneous tissue necrosis or infection. Frequently change the injection site to protect blood vessels and prevent the occurrence of phlebitis.
Oral Care Rinse your mouth with:
chlorhexidine solution before and after each meal. For those with oral ulcers, apply calcium tetrahydrofolate or gentian violet locally. For those with fungal infection, apply nystatin topically.
Prevention and care of respiratory infections Open windows regularly for ventilation every day to keep indoor air fresh. The temperature of the air conditioner should not be set too low in summer to avoid catching cold
In winter, keep warm to prevent colds
Once a respiratory infection occurs, add physiological saline and corresponding antibiotics to an atomized inhaler for atomized inhalation. Turn over and pat the patient's back regularly,
~ times/
times, and pat the patient's back every time
~ to promote the discharge of sputum.
For the prevention and care of digestive tract infections, provide a high-protein, high-vitamin, easy-to-digest diet, avoid eating high-cholesterol foods, and avoid raw, cold, hard, spicy and other irritating foods
It is harmful to the intestinal tract infection that has already occurred Infected patients should immediately use intravenous drip or oral administration of corresponding antibiotics, and add the antibiotics to physiological saline for retention enema.
Warm water bath for high fever care: rub it into the armpits, popliteal fossa, groin and other places rich in blood vessels. The stay time should be slightly longer to help dissipate heat
Place an ice pack on the head to reduce the metabolic rate of brain cells. Reduce its oxygen consumption, improve the tolerance of brain cells to hypoxia, and slow down or stop the progression of damage
Nutrition and water supplement: During high fever, gastrointestinal peristalsis slows down and the production of digestive juices And secretion is reduced, which affects digestion and absorption. On the other hand, catabolism is enhanced, protein, fat and carbohydrates are consumed in large quantities, and at the same time, water is lost in large quantities. Therefore, nutrition and water should be replenished in time, a liquid or semi-liquid diet should be given according to the condition, and plenty of water should be consumed to facilitate the elimination of toxins.
Psychological care brings great pain to patients due to the emergence of symptoms such as pain, fever, ascites, and various side effects caused by chemotherapy drugs. In addition, patients are worried about the effect of treatment, and expensive medical expenses have brought great pain to patients. Heavy financial pressure, these inescapable worries always plague them. Therefore, psychological care is particularly important. At work, we actively communicate with patients to understand their mental state in a timely manner and provide corresponding guidance, comfort and encouragement. Recommended reading
What are the nursing methods for patients with ovarian cancer
. Ovarian cancer is one of the common tumors of female [banned words] organs. Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among all types of gynecological tumors, posing a serious threat to women's lives. Its five-year survival rate is only
~
. According to epidemiological statistics, ovarian cancer is more likely to occur in women with ovarian insufficiency, such as those with delayed menarche, early menopause, dysmenorrhea, singleness, infertility, frequent induced abortions, and those with a family history. Since the ovaries are located deep in the pelvic cavity, there may be no or mild symptoms in the early stages of the disease, manifested as a mass in the uterine appendage, accompanied by unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms, such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and weight loss
As the condition progresses As the disease progresses, different symptoms may appear, mainly in the lower abdominal distension, abdominal distension and intra-abdominal masses, pain or irregular uterine bleeding, etc.
. Because ovarian cancer is asymptomatic in its early clinical stages, it is very difficult to identify its tissue type and benign and malignant. During laparotomy, only 4% of ovarian cancer tumors are found to be limited to the ovary, and most of them have spread to the uterus. Lateral adnexa, greater omentum and various pelvic organs, so ovarian cancer is indeed a big problem in diagnosis and treatment.
. Over the years, experts have invested a lot of energy in clinical research on ovarian cancer, trying to find high-efficiency and low-toxic anti-ovarian cancer drugs. Ginseng is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine that has been studied much since ancient times. Modern medical research shows that ginseng has various biological activities such as anti-tumor and anti-radiation. Its main active ingredient is ginsenosides. So far, more than a few saponins have been isolated from ginseng and their structures have been determined. By comparing the anti-tumor effects of various ginsenosides, it was found that ginsenoside Rh
has the strongest ability to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. , is the main anti-cancer active ingredient in ginseng saponins. Ginsenoside Rh
is effective against a variety of tumors by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and inducing cancer cell differentiation and apoptosis, and also provides a new weapon for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
. Zhu Junrong, Sun Jianguo and others studied the effect of ginsenoside Rh
on the proliferation and apoptosis of estrogen-dependent human ovarian cancer cells
. The results showed that
the growth of cells was inhibited after the action of Rh
in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. The half inhibitory concentration was/
Optical microscopy showed that
the cells were inhibited by Rh
After the action, there were obvious morphological changes of apoptosis
Flow cytometry test confirmed that Rh
can induce
apoptosis within a certain concentration range and block the cell cycle in
period, and increase
expression. It shows that Rh can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis, and is effective against ovarian cancer.
. Ginsenoside Rh
also has good safety. Gao Feng and others from Jilin Ginseng Research Institute have confirmed through experiments that ginsenoside Rh
has an effect on the nervous system and respiratory system of normal mice and dogs. , no significant impact on the cardiovascular system, which is significantly different from other anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs.
. Because of the high efficiency and low toxicity of ginsenoside Rh
, it can kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells. It can also activate the function of immune cells, thereby exerting the body's own immune system to eliminate cancer cells. , more conducive to patient recovery.
. Ginsenoside RH
