General care: According to the general anesthesia postoperative care routine, the patient should lie flat without a pillow before waking up, with the head tilted to one side, keep the airway open, continue ECG monitoring and low-flow oxygen inhalation, strengthen the monitoring of the patient's cardiopulmonary function, and assist and encourage the patient to take deep breaths, cough, and expectorate after waking up from anesthesia to prevent lung infection. After the vital signs are stable, guide the patient to turn over in bed and observe the skin of the compressed parts of the body to prevent the occurrence of pressure sores. Observe the recovery of intestinal peristalsis, whether there is abdominal distension or colic, keep the wound dressing clean and dry, observe whether there is bleeding and exudate, guide the patient to flex and extend both lower limbs, but avoid excessive activity to avoid sudden bleeding. Care of wound drainage tube: Wound drainage tube needs to be left in place after surgery. The drainage tube should be kept unobstructed and properly fixed to prevent falling off. The drainage volume should be recorded in detail, and the color and property changes of the drainage fluid should be observed. Observe whether there is urine leakage, keep the wound dressing and skin clean and dry to prevent infection. Avoid strenuous exercise in bed or getting out of bed to avoid twisting and compression of the drainage tube and urinary catheter, keep the drainage unobstructed, and extend the retention time of the drainage tube.
