Zhongshan Eye Hospital Anesthesia - What should be paid attention to after anesthesia surgery?

Anesthesia is an indispensable link in ophthalmic surgery, which can ensure that patients do not feel pain during surgery. However, special care and precautions are also required during the postoperative anesthesia recovery period to ensure the safety and health of patients. Next, we will elaborate on the matters needing attention in postoperative anesthesia from four aspects.

Diet conditioning

After anesthesia surgery, patients need to gradually recover their digestive function and avoid excessive burden on the body. Therefore, diet conditioning is very important during the recovery period.

First of all, on the first day after anesthesia surgery, patients can only eat liquid or semi liquid diet, such as porridge, soup, juice, etc. Gradually transition to hot food and soft food, such as cooked meat, vegetables, etc.

Secondly, patients should avoid eating too much fat, sugar and spicy food, which may stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to indigestion or abdominal distension.

Finally, patients should maintain the regularity and diversity of diet, and take various nutrients in a balanced manner to strengthen the recovery ability of the body.

Rest and activities

After anesthesia surgery, the patient's physical function and immunity may decline, so reasonable rest and appropriate activities are essential for rehabilitation.

First of all, patients after surgery should try to keep enough sleep so that the body has enough time to repair and recover.

Secondly, appropriate mild activities can help promote blood circulation and metabolism, but you must avoid strenuous activities or excessive fatigue, so as not to cause pain or delay recovery.

Finally, patients also need to avoid keeping the same position for a long time, especially sitting or lying down for a long time, so as not to cause muscle atrophy or poor blood circulation.

Wound care

After anesthesia surgery, patients need special care for the wound to prevent infection and promote wound healing.

First of all, patients should keep their wounds clean and dry after surgery. Gently clean the wound with warm boiled water every day, and wrap it with gauze or sterile gauze to avoid water ingress or external pollution.

Secondly, patients should take antibiotics or other drugs on time according to the doctor's advice to prevent wound infection.

Finally, before the wound is completely healed, the patient should avoid touching water, scratching or being exposed to wet and dirty environment.

drug use

After anesthesia surgery, patients may need to use some drugs to relieve pain and prevent infection, but they also need to pay attention to the correct use of drugs.

First of all, patients should take drugs in strict accordance with the dosage and time prescribed by the doctor, and avoid excessive or frequent use to avoid adverse drug reactions.

Secondly, patients should avoid self increasing or decreasing the dosage of drugs or changing other drugs, and should communicate with doctors in a timely manner when necessary.

Finally, the patient needs to know about the common side effects and contraindications of the drug, and should immediately inform the doctor if there is obvious discomfort.

Summary

After anesthesia surgery in Zhongshan Eye Hospital, patients need to pay attention to food conditioning, rest and activities, wound care and drug use. Only by doing so, can patients recover faster and avoid complications.
