Observation of nursing effect for patients with primary liver cancer before and after transcatheter arterial embolization

Abstract

To observe and analyze the nursing effect of primary liver cancer before and after transcatheter arterial embolization, 200 patients with advanced primary liver cancer who had been treated in the Second People's Hospital of Huai'an were selected as research subjects. All of them were subjected to transcatheter arterial embolization. During perioperative period, nursing was carried out for patients and they were explained about the method, purpose, results and cautions about the treatment; moreover, psychological nursing intervention, dietary intervention, auxiliary examination were performed. The postoperative puncture site and operative limb situations were observed and recorded for medication guidance. In this study, all patients were well treated. Adverse reactions after treatment mainly included liver area pain, digestive tract reaction, fever, which were relatively mild and effectively improved with timely medical measures with no severe complications being left. Comparison of quality of life score and mental status score before and after nursing showed significant difference. To guarantee a smooth and successful implementation of transcatheter arterial embolization for patients with primary liver cancer, the key is to develop a scientific and comprehensive nursing mode to improve curative effect.
