Abstract

Objective: To summarize the nursing experience of a patient with
postoperative intrathoracic hemorrhage after thoracoscopic-assisted
resection of the right upper mediastinal tumor through the original incision.
Methods: Summarize the main points of nursing care of postoperative
intrathoracic hemorrhage after thoracoscopic mediastinal surgery, including
observation and nursing when internal hemorrhage occurs after operation,
respiratory management, activity management and pain management
measures. Result: After careful care, the patient recovered and discharged
smoothly. Conclusion: It is particularly important to observe the overall
observation and take timely corresponding nursing measures for patients
with intrathoracic hemorrhage after thoracoscopic mediastinal surgery.
