Nursing of children with elevated platelets

The child's platelet count was elevated and he showed symptoms of anemia. The parents were extremely anxious. They felt sorry for their children and were confused as to why their children had this disease. As people's living standards continue to improve, children's illnesses have been effectively treated, but caring for children after discharge requires parents to spend a lot of energy. So how do we provide good care for children with elevated platelets?

It is very important to do a good job of nursing for children with high platelets. Here are some points for you:

1. The patient's living environment should be kept clean: The care of thrombocythemia should maintain fresh air, sufficient sunlight, appropriate temperature and humidity, strictly implement the disinfection and isolation system as required, and minimize contact with visitors to prevent cross-infection. The room is disinfected with ultraviolet light 1-2 times a day, air bacteriological monitoring is carried out regularly, and bedding is disinfected regularly. Patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy and immunotherapy should be placed under protective isolation. Provide patients with patient and meticulous psychological support, care for them, and relieve their anxiety.

2. Dietary care: This should be done according to the doctor’s orders. If the necessary food intake cannot be guaranteed, the doctor and nutritionist should be informed in time so that timely adjustments can be made. Nowadays, many children like to eat puffed foods, and parents will often satisfy their children's requirements. During illness, children should be stopped from eating such foods to avoid aggravating the condition. After the child recovers, parents should also warn him to eat less or no such foods. In daily life, children should eat more food that is easy to digest and absorb.

3. Home care: The floor where patients with thrombocythemia enter and exit should be non-slip, and handrails should be installed in corridors and bathrooms. Patients with severe anemia should change their position slowly to prevent sudden fainting. Children, the elderly, and critically ill patients should have bed guards at the bedside, and those who are restless can use restraint belts as prescribed by the doctor.
