Core Tip
Core Tip: Lung cancer is a malignant tumor disease with high morbidity and mortality among cancers. Continuous nursing and respiratory exercise nursing is a new nursing model, which can improve the long-term prognosis of patients with lung cancer and improve their life quality. Unfortunately, continuous nursing and respiratory exercise nursing for postoperative lung cancer patients are not widely studied. We collected 80 patients with lung cancer and observed the recovery of pulmonary function and respiratory symptoms after 3 mo of continuous nursing and respiratory exercise nursing. The results found that continuous nursing combined with respiratory exercise nursing could significantly accelerate the recovery of respiratory function, reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications of lung cancer, and improve patients’ treatment compliance after lung cancer surgery.
