Caesarean section nursing diagnosis and measures

Caesarean section is the largest obstetric surgery, because when the expectant mother undergoes a caesarean section, a 10-centimeter incision is made in the lower abdomen to facilitate the complete delivery of the baby. The surgical incision is large and wide, so expectant mothers need to stay in the hospital for a few more days for medical treatment after a caesarean section. So, let’s talk about the cesarean section nursing diagnosis and countermeasures, the complications and complications after cesarean section, and the post-operative nursing diagnosis and countermeasures.

Although cesarean section has become a relatively common surgical procedure nowadays. Because a caesarean section requires making a 10-centimeter incision in the lower abdomen of the expectant mother, cutting open the abdomen and uterus, taking out the fetus, and then suturing the layers of surgery. The surgical incision is very large and wide. At the same time, it is connected to the vagina where bacteria exist, so if the expectant mothers do not receive good medical care after cesarean section, many complications and diseases will occur. Common complications include fever, abnormal uterine bleeding, urinary retention, and intestinal adhesions. The most serious complications include pulmonary embolism and amniotic fluid embolism, which can cause sudden death. Complications of infertility include chronic salpingitis and the resulting ectopic pregnancy, as well as uterine wall abnormalities. Therefore, expectant mothers need to go to the hospital for two more days of care after caesarean section, which is very important for complete recovery.

The nursing diagnosis and countermeasures that expectant mothers need to go to the hospital for after caesarean section are as follows:

First, improving your daily routine after a cesarean section is important for a successful recovery.

The second caesarean section should be followed by intravenous drip within three days to replenish water and correct dehydration.

Third, the key measure to prevent intestinal adhesion, thrombosis and sudden death is for expectant mothers to move as soon as possible after the operation.

Fourth, during cesarean section, the uterus will have more abnormal bleeding, so you should pay attention to the bleeding. If you find that the bleeding exceeds the menstrual volume, you should notify the doctor immediately.

Fifth, if the expectant mother coughs, feels nauseous, or vomits, she should hold both sides of the wound with her hands to prevent the sutures from breaking.

The catheter can be removed on the second day after the sixth operation after the infusion is completed. You need to urinate immediately within 4 hours after pulling it out. If you can't urinate, you should wake up and go to the bathroom to urinate. If it still doesn't get better, tell your doctor until it's cleared up.

Seventh, if the expectant mother's body temperature exceeds 37.4 degrees, she cannot be forced to be hospitalized.

Eighth, be careful about late postpartum bleeding. If the amount of lochia increases significantly after the expectant mother returns home, she should see a doctor immediately.

42 days after the ninth operation, you can have sex after the lochia is completely clean. Use condoms in the early stage, and go to the original hospital for IUD insertion in the middle and late stages to prevent pregnancy again.

Tenth, pay attention to the pain in the wound during menstruation, because endometriosis is very common at the wound site.

Here we recommend to expectant mothers that they must keep the wound dry and clean after caesarean section to prevent redness, swelling and infection of the wound. Do not get the wound wet within 2 weeks after the operation. If the wound becomes swollen, hot, cracked, or has purulent secretions or fever, seek medical attention as soon as possible. I wish all the expectant mothers take care of their health.
