Postoperative nursing guidance: Liu Li, Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital
Postoperative care is very critical and can effectively promote the recovery of patients. The following is the guidance of Dr. Liu Li from Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital on postoperative care.
Wound care
Postoperative eye wounds need special care to prevent infection and complications. First of all, on the first day after the operation, the patient needs to rest and do not engage in strenuous activities to reduce the friction and rupture of the wound. At the same time, it is necessary to use disinfectant to clean the wound in time according to the doctor's advice to keep the wound dry and clean.
Three to four days after the operation, the wound began to scab. At this time, the patient should avoid using warm water or high-temperature objects to stimulate the wound, and pay attention not to scratch or rub the wound. In addition, if the wound has abnormal redness, swelling, increased exudation, fever and other symptoms, seek medical advice in a timely manner.
Note: Postoperative wound care is critical. If wound infection occurs, it may affect the surgical results. Therefore, patients must strictly follow the doctor's instructions for care.
Medication guidance
Postoperative patients often need to use drugs to prevent infection and relieve pain. First of all, patients need to use antibiotic eyedrops or oral drugs prescribed by doctors on time and in quantity to prevent wound infection. At the same time, anti-inflammatory drugs should also be used according to the doctor's instructions to reduce eye pain and eliminate inflammation.
When using eye drops, patients need to pay attention to the method of medication. First, wash their hands, use disinfectant to clean their eyes, and then take an appropriate amount of eye drops into the eye socket to avoid direct contact with the eye. At the same time, you should close your eyes for a moment after taking medicine, so that the liquid medicine can be evenly distributed around the eyes. In case of allergic reaction or other uncomfortable symptoms, seek medical treatment immediately.
Diet conditioning
Postoperative diet is very important for recovery, and patients need to pay attention to the following points. First, avoid eating spicy and irritating food to avoid eye irritation and inflammation. Secondly, increase the intake of vitamin C and vitamin E, which is helpful for wound healing and tissue repair. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain a good diet structure, intake enough protein and trace elements, and supplement the nutrients needed by the body.
In addition, it is also necessary to avoid drinking and smoking after surgery, which will affect the recovery and health of the eyes. At the same time, patients should pay attention to adjusting the diet structure and eating habits appropriately according to the doctor's suggestions to improve the effect of rehabilitation.
Postoperative rehabilitation training
After surgery, some patients also need some simple rehabilitation training to help the eye muscles recover. According to the doctor's suggestion, the patient can moderately carry out eye massage, eye closure activities and eye movement exercises.
During rehabilitation training, patients should pay attention to correct posture and movement to avoid overexertion or discomfort during the process. At the same time, we should insist on a certain number of training every day, and gradually increase the training intensity to promote the recovery and function improvement of eye muscles.
Summary
Wound care, medication guidance, diet conditioning and postoperative rehabilitation training can better promote postoperative recovery and rehabilitation of patients. Patients need to follow the doctor's guidance, use drugs on time, pay attention to wound care, eat a balanced diet, and actively participate in rehabilitation training to obtain better postoperative results.
