What are the nursing measures for lung infection?

If we want to take care of lung infection in our daily life, we can adopt some psychological care and create a good living environment for patients.

Generally, patients with lung infections should turn over regularly and receive proper assistance in expectoration, so that waste products from the lungs can be better discharged from the body.

Lung infection is mainly caused by pathogenic bacteria, which leads to inflammatory lesions of lung tissue, with clinical manifestations such as cough, sputum, and difficulty breathing. Lung infection in the elderly usually refers to chronic infection caused by pathogenic bacteria in the lower respiratory tract (including bronchi, terminal bronchioles, and respiratory bronchioles), which eventually spreads to the alveolar parenchyma to form lobular lesions and become pneumonia, and even lead to pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.

The nursing measures for lung cancer pulmonary infection are as follows:

1. Regularly turn over and assist in expectoration. Frequent changes of body position or activities can prevent the accumulation of secretions and promote blood circulation. If there are no contraindications, turn over once every 2 hours, and pat the back and cough at the same time. For patients with confusion or coma, suck out the secretions in the mouth and nasal cavity before turning over to prevent aspiration pneumonia, alveolar atrophy and atelectasis caused by accidental aspiration, and ensure the patency of the respiratory tract.

2. Care for patients with fever: Keep patients warm when they have chills; provide physical cooling when the fever is high, and place hot water bottles on the soles of the feet to keep them warm; change clothes and bedding in time when sweating profusely, and keep the skin clean and dry.

3 Psychological care and creation of a good environment encourage patients to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, make them understand the relationship between the disease and intervention care, and actively cooperate with the treatment; a quiet and comfortable environment is conducive to the recovery of the disease, strengthen management, keep the ward clean and tidy, change bedding in time, and keep the air in the ward circulating and fresh.
