Post Liver Cancer Interventional Surgery Nausea And Vomiting
After a primary liver tumor has been diagnosed through imaging and pathology, and surgical removal of the liver tumor has been performed, patients often require around four to six sessions of interventional infusion chemotherapy. For patients who are not candidates for surgery, interventional infusion chemotherapy can also be an effective alternative treatment option. Following the interventional procedure, some patients may experience symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. These symptoms are commonly attributed to the side effects of chemotherapy drugs.
To manage these side effects, it is recommended that patients receive intravenous medications such as antiemetics and acid suppressants. Drugs like ondansetron and azasetron are commonly used to control nausea and vomiting. In addition, intravenous dexamethasone can be administered to further alleviate these symptoms. With appropriate medical care, these symptoms usually subside gradually.
Patients undergoing chemotherapy should also focus on adequate rest and hydration. Drinking plenty of fluids and frequent urination can help the body eliminate the byproducts of chemotherapy more effectively. This approach can significantly reduce the risk of complications caused by chemotherapy side effects.
Proper post-operative care and timely symptom management are essential for improving patient comfort and recovery after interventional liver cancer treatment.
