1, the diet of the elderly at the early stage of fracture
We should pay attention to correcting water loss and salt loss, and choose a semi-liquid diet with low fat, high vitamins, high sodium, high iron, high moisture, light and digestible, 4~5 meals a day. Slightly injured people with limb fractures can eat normally, eat three meals a day, and drink vitamin AD milk or fortified calcium yogurt in the afternoon.
2. Diet of the elderly with late fracture
Suitable for high protein, high fat, high sugar, high calorie, high vitamin, high calcium, high zinc and high copper diet to promote fracture healing and supplement body consumption.
Family nursing measures for the elderly after fracture
Injuries have brought mental trauma to the elderly. Forcing them to stay in bed and reduce their activities will inhibit their appetite and digestion. Symptoms include abdominal distension, loss of appetite and constipation. Ask patients to drink more water, eat thin and soft food and fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid sticky food, spicy food and gas-producing food. Help * * * abdomen, promote intestinal peristalsis, and help digestion.
A few days after the injury, the patient gradually adapted to bed life, recovered his appetite and enhanced his digestive ability. According to the needs of illness and eating habits, he can be given food with high protein, vitamins and calcium. Apply food according to syndrome differentiation to make up for its deficiency. People with deficiency of both qi and blood should eat more cattle, sheep, eggs and fish; People with spleen deficiency should eat yam and barley porridge, jujube and other supplements. People with yang deficiency should eat walnuts, mutton and so on. People with yin deficiency should eat soft-shelled turtle, tremella and the like; For patients with long-term fracture or spinal cord injury, it is more appropriate to eat bone soup and pig, cattle and sheep spinal cord to replenish marrow and replenish essence, which is conducive to the recovery of injury.
Long-term bed rest causes local tissues to be compressed, blood circulation is blocked, and bedsores are prone to occur. During traction, help replace * * * every two hours, and replace * * * every 3-4 hours at night. At the same time, 50% alcohol is used to treat the compressed part to improve local blood circulation and prevent bedsore.
Nursing care of middle-aged and elderly people after femoral head fracture
Avoid blind exercise. If the patient can't wait after treatment, walking with weight too early may lead to the displacement of the fracture site again and affect the healing. Therefore, we must try the function of no-load exercise step by step under the guidance of a doctor.
Eat a balanced diet and control your weight. Femoral neck fractures mostly occur in middle-aged and elderly people, especially those with long-term lack of exercise, malnutrition and osteoporosis. In order to make the illness recover as soon as possible, we should have a balanced nutrition, drink milk and soybean milk regularly, and supplement calcium and vitamin D appropriately. Avoid drinking alcohol and alcoholic beverages, and choose foods with low fat and cholesterol to avoid weight gain and reduce the burden on bones.
Check the healing regularly. It is recommended to take an X-ray every 3 months; If economic conditions permit, you can also do magnetic resonance or ECT examination to judge the healing situation earlier, and you can use double armpits to help you walk and share your weight.
Observe the condition for a long time. After femoral neck fracture, it is difficult to confirm whether the femoral head is necrotic in a short period of time, and at least observation is needed 1 year. If there are no adverse symptoms after 1 year, the recovery is good. During this period, patients should never exercise excessively. For safety reasons, it is best to observe for more than 3 years.
