Ang araw ng iyong operasyon

PDF

Isang paglalakad sa mismong araw — mula sa pagdating at pag-check in, hanggang sa pagpupulong sa team at pagpunta sa theatre, hanggang sa paggising at pag-uwi sa bahay sa mismong araw na iyon. Ano ang dapat dalhin, ano ang dapat isuot, at sino ang kailangang maghatid sa iyo pauwi.

Isang kamay na may guwantes na minamarkahan ang operative forearm gamit ang isang skin pen.
Bago ang iyong operasyon, kumpirmado at mamarkahan ng siruhano ang tamang braso — isa sa mga safety check sa araw na iyon. Kieran Hirpara 4.0

Ang pahinang ito ay isinalin ng makina at hindi pa nasusuri ng isang doktor. Ang bersyong Ingles ang siyang opisyal.

Ang araw ng operasyon ay hindi na gaanong nakakalito kapag alam mo na kung paano ito nagaganap. Halos lahat ng surgery sa upper-limb ay day-case surgery, na nangangahulugang darating ka, sasailalim sa iyong operasyon, magpapagaling nang sandali, at uuwi sa bahay sa parehong araw. Ang pahinang ito ay gagabay sa iyo sa araw na iyon mula simula hanggang wakas upang walang anumang maging sorpresa. Ang paghahanda (ready) para sa surgery (paghinto o pagpapatuloy ng mga gamot, pag-aayos ng leave sa trabaho, ang mga panuntunan sa pag-aayuno) ay tinalakay sa mga pahina ng preoperative preparation at anaesthesia and fasting; ang pahinang ito ay tungkol sa mismong araw ng operasyon.

Pagdating at pag-check-in

Bibigyan ka namin ng oras ng pagdating, at karaniwan itong ilang oras bago ang aktwal na nakatakdang pagsisimula ng iyong operasyon. Ang pagitan na ito ay sinasadya at hindi nasayang na oras: pinahihintulutan nito ang nursing team, ang iyong surgeon at ang iyong anaesthetist na makita ka, masuri at maihanda ang lahat, at matiyak na maayos ang daloy ng listahan. Mangyaring pumunta sa oras na ibinigay sa iyo, kahit na ang iyong operasyon ay mamaya pa sa araw na iyon. Pagdating mo, pumunta sa admission area na nakasaad sa iyong email, mag-check in sa desk, kumpirmahin ang iyong mga detalye, at pagkatapos ay ituturo ka patungo sa day-surgery area. Isang nurse ang mag-aayos sa iyo, at magpapalit ka mula sa iyong sariling damit patungo sa hospital gown at magsusuot ng identification wristband na mananatili hanggang sa ikaw ay umuwi. Bago ka pumunta, i-double-check ang oras ng fasting sa iyong surgery details email. Karaniwan itong nangangahulugan na walang kakainin o iinumin mula sa oras na kinalkula mula sa iyong admission time; kung gumagamit ka ng injectable diabetes o weight-loss medicine gaya ng Ozempic, ang fast na iyon ay 24 oras. Pinapanatili ka ng fasting na ligtas sa ilalim ng anaesthetic, at ang pagsunod dito nang tama ay nangangahulugang mas maliit ang posibilidad na maantala o ma-postpone ang iyong operasyon. Ang pahinang anaesthesia and fasting ay nagpapaliwanag ng eksaktong mga oras.

Pagkilala sa iyong team

Maraming tao ang pupunta at bibisita sa iyo bago ang iyong operasyon. Ito ay isa sa mga pinakaligtas na bahagi ng buong araw: sinusuri ng lahat ang mga parehong bagay mula sa bahagyang magkakaibang anggulo upang walang makaligtaan.

  • Ang nursing team ang mag-aayos sa iyo, magsasagawa ng checklist, kukuha ng ilang routine observation, at sasagot sa mga pang-araw-araw na katanungan.
  • Ang iyong surgeon ay bibisita sa iyo, kumpirmasyon kung anong operasyon ang nakaplano at kung saang panig ito, sasagot sa anumang huling mga katanungan, at mamarkahan ang braso gamit ang panulat upang walang anumang duda tungkol sa tamang site. Ang makitang inilalagay ang markang iyon ay nakakapagpanatag; ito ay isang sadyang hakbang para sa kaligtasan, na ginagawa kasama ka, sa bawat pagkakataon.
  • Ang anaesthetist ay tatalakay kung paano ka pananatilihing komportable at tulog o manhid. Depende sa iyong operasyon, maaaring ito ay isang general anaesthetic (ganap kang tulog), isang regional nerve block (manhid ang buong braso; tingnan ang pahina ng shoulder nerve block), isang local anaesthetic para sa mas maliliit na procedure, o kombinasyon ng mga ito. Ito ang pagkakataon upang banggitin ang anumang nasa iyong isipan.

Hihilingin din sa iyo na kumpirmahin ang iyong pangalan, petsa ng kapanganakan, at operasyon nang ilang beses ng iba't ibang tao. Maaari itong magmukhang paulit-ulit; sadyang ganoon ito. Ang pagsusuri at muling pagsusuri ang paraan upang manatiling ligtas ang mga operating list.

Ang paghihintay

Maaaring may paghihintay sa pagitan ng pag-check in at pagpunta sa theatre. Ang mga listahan ay maingat na pinaplano at nagsisikap ang team na mapanatili ang mga ito sa tamang oras, ngunit ang mga operasyon ay paminsan-minsang tumatagal nang kaunti o nagbabago ang pagkakasunod-sunod para sa mabubuting klinikal na dahilan, at maaaring magdulot ito ng pagkaantala. Bihira itong maging senyales na mayroong mali. Magdala ng anuman upang pampalipas-oras: libro, magasin, musika o podcast at headphones, at subukang mag-relax sa halip na magbantay sa oras.

Pagpunta sa theatre at paggising

Kapag turn mo na, ikaw ay lalakad o itutulak papunta sa theatre area. Sisimulan na ang iyong anaesthetic, at ang susunod na mapapansin mo ay ang paggising sa recovery area kasama ang isang nurse sa tabi mo na nag-aalaga sa iyo. Ang iyong operasyon ay tapos na. Maaari kang makaramdam ng pagkaantok, bahagyang ginaw, o tuyong bibig. Ang lahat ng ito ay ganap na normal at panandalian lamang. Kung ikaw ay sumailalim sa nerve block, ang braso ay makakaramdam ng pagbigat at pamamanhid, na siyang eksaktong layunin nito.

Ang mga recovery nurse ay babantayan ka nang maigi, susuriin ang iyong komportable at ang iyong dressing, at magbibigay ng pain relief at anti-sickness medication kung kinakailangan. Kapag ikaw ay gising na nang maayos at settled na, ibabalik ka sa day- surgery area.

Pag-uwi

Dahil ang iyong operasyon ay day-case, uuwi ka na kapag natugunan na ang ilang simpleng kondisyon: gising ka na at stable, kontrolado ang iyong sakit gamit ang mga tableta, humupa na ang anumang pagduduwal, nakakain at nakainom ka na, at kuntento na ang team sa iyong kalagayan. Para sa karamihan, ito ay ilang oras matapos ang operasyon.

Bago ka umalis, tatalakayin ng mga nurse ang iyong dressing, ang iyong pain-relief plan, anumang sling o splint, ang mga bagay na maaari at hindi mo maaaring gawin, at kung kailan dapat bumalik para sa review. Huwag mag-alala sa pag-alala ng lahat ng ito; isusulat ito para maiuwi mo, at bibigyan ka ng numero na tatawagan kung mayroon kang hindi sigurado sa anumang bagay kalaunan.

Pag-aayos ng iyong pag-uwi at ng unang gabi

Ito ang isang bahagi ng pag-oorganisa na dapat mong ayusin nang maaga: hindi mo maaaring imaneho ang iyong sarili pauwi, at hindi ka dapat mag-isa sa unang gabi.

  • Mag-ayos ng isang responsableng matanda na magmamaneho sa iyo pauwi at mananatili kasama mo magdamag. Ang anaesthetic ay nananatili sa iyong system sa natitirang bahagi ng araw; ang iyong pagpapasya, reaksyon, at koordinasyon ay hindi pa bumabalik sa normal kahit na pakiramdam mo ay maayos ka, kaya ang pagmamaneho (at ang pag-iisa) ay hindi ligtas.
  • Sa parehong dahilan, huwag magplano na gumawa ng mahahalagang desisyon, pumirma ng anumang legal na dokumento, uminom ng alak, o gumamit ng makinarya sa natitirang bahagi ng araw.

Ano ang dapat dalhin at isuot

Ang kaunting paghahanda ay nakatutulong para maging mas maayos ang araw:

  • Magsuot ng maluwag, komportable, at bumubukas sa harap na damit: isang button-up o zip top sa halip na masikip na kailangang isuot sa ulo, upang madali itong maisuot sa ibabaw ng dressing, sling o nabendahang braso pagkatapos.
  • Magdala ng listahan ng iyong mga gamot, kasama ang mga dose, at dalhin ang anumang inhaler o mahalagang gamot na maaaring kailanganin mo sa loob ng araw.
  • Dalhin ang anumang walking aid na karaniwan mong ginagamit.
  • Kung may dala kang EpiPen, dalhin ito at ibigay sa nursing staff. Kung gumagamit ka ng insulin, dalhin ito at ang iyong glucose meter.
  • Iwanan ang mga alahas, relo at mahahalagang gamit sa bahay. Ang mga singsing partikular na kailangang tanggalin sa braso na ooperahan, at mas kakaunti ang iyong dalhin, mas kakaunti ang kailangang bantayan.
  • Dalhin ang mga detalye ng iyong appointment at maliit na halaga ng pera o card kung kailangan mong kumuha ng prescription paglabas.

Bago kayo pumunta — tawagan kami kung

Kadalasan, ang araw ay tumatakbo nang eksakto ayon sa plano. Ngunit sa mga araw bago ang iyong operasyon, makipag-ugnayan sa amin sa halip na pumunta na lamang nang hindi sigurado, kung:

  • kayo ay nagkasakit: sipon, ubo, lagnat, pananakit ng tiyan, o anumang palatandaan ng impeksyon (kabilang ang impeksyon sa balat, gasgas o sugat sa braso na ooperahan)
  • kayo ay hindi sigurado tungkol sa inyong mga gamot: kung dapat bang inumin o itigil ang isang bagay, lalo na ang mga blood thinner, gamot sa diabetes o anumang iniinom ninyo sa umaga
  • kayo ay hindi sigurado tungkol sa mga instruksyon sa pag-aayuno (fasting) o aksidenteng kumain o uminom kung kailan hindi dapat
  • may anumang nagbago sa inyong kalusugan mula noong huli kayong nakita

Laging mas mabuting tumawag muna. Mas gusto naming makarinig mula sa inyo at ayusin ito nang maaga kaysa dumating kayong may sakit o hindi handa at magkaroon ng panganib na maipagpaliban ang operasyon. Kapag nag-aalinlangan, tawagan ang mga rooms.

1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or

2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License.

c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.
