Family members of patients who have had three heart valve surgeries. What have they experienced?
Hello everyone! My mother is 68 years old. Now the aortic valve needs to be replaced, and the mitral valve might be replaced. This is the third operation. Mitral valve)
My mother recovered almost half a year after the first operation, and went back to work at the work unit. Taking into account my mother's situation, the unit arranged for her a relatively relaxed position. Before I retired, although my mother had two minor operations for other reasons, her body was still okay, but my mother had to stop the medication for three days before each minor operation, otherwise the bleeding might not be able to stop after the operation. Happening. Half a year after retirement, I often caught colds, and also experienced fainting and swelling of hands and feet and unable to go to the ground. I have stayed in the local small hospital several times before and after, but all of them are mainly due to rheumatism. My mother was admitted to the hospital again. After being discharged from the hospital on the second day of the Lunar New Year, my father wanted to find out the specific reasons for my mother’s repeated illness. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he went to a major hospital in the capital city for re-examination. The cusp regurgitation occurred, leading to pericardial effusion, which in turn caused edema in the hands and feet, which required surgical treatment. After more than a week of treatment in the Department of Cardiology, he was transferred to the Department of Cardiology to prepare for surgery.Considering that my mother had already undergone a thoracotomy and had a poor physique, for the second operation, she chose the mitral valve replacement biovalve and left thoracic incision. Ten days after the operation, he was discharged from the hospital. In addition to Fahualin, he also prescribed diuretic and cardiotonic drugs. But it was not clear at the time that diuretic and heart strengthening drugs should be taken consistently. My mother stopped diuretic and heart strengthening drugs after she was discharged from the hospital. After a few days, she became unwell and drove urgently on the same day. He was admitted to the provincial capital hospital for treatment, and was discharged again after half a month of treatment in the cardiology department. After that, he took diuretic and cardiotonic drugs in addition to Fahualin every day. Uncomfortable
