How to care for postoperative pain in patients with laryngeal cancer

Laryngeal cancer is one of the common cancers in otolaryngology. The range of tumor resection is wide, the operation time is long, the trauma surface is large, and there will be varying degrees of pain after the operation. If the pain is severe, it will affect the patient's physical recovery and increase the patient's psychological burden. Therefore, the patient's family and caregivers should provide necessary care according to the special conditions of laryngeal cancer patients so that the patients can smoothly get through the pain period.

Patients should be given enough care, comforted frequently, spoken to with patience, and in a relaxed and considerate tone to help them relax mentally. Only in this way can patients feel at ease to receive treatment or recover smoothly.

The location, nature and duration of the patient's pain should also be observed, and the cause of the pain should be understood through analysis. The patient should be informed of the cause of the pain and made to understand that the presence of pain is normal. The patient can be told the time when the pain may ease or even disappear in order to reduce his or her fear.

Assist them in meeting various life needs, take care of them to rest in bed, take medication according to the doctor's instructions, communicate with the patient about the pain relief effect, and provide timely feedback to the doctor. Some means can also be used to distract the patient's attention to reduce his excessive attention to pain.

Of course, we need to provide patients with a quiet and comfortable environment so that they do not feel uncomfortable, and at the same time assist them to rest in a comfortable position, so that patients do not pay too much attention to the pain.
