How to nurse after mitral valve replacement

summary

Although mitral valve replacement has controlled the disease, the postoperative nursing can not be ignored. Good postoperative nursing can reduce the recovery time of patients, but most non-medical staff don't know how to care. Now I'm going to popularize the science of nursing after mitral valve replacement.

How to nurse after mitral valve replacement

First: anticoagulants: 48-72 hours after operation, if there is no bloody exudation in the thoracic or mediastinal drainage tube (if there is tracheotomy, it is necessary to remove the endotracheal intubation), the drainage tube can be removed. At this time, anticoagulants should be taken on time according to the doctor's advice, and the dose depends on prothrombin time (PT) and activity. Every time after taking it, record it in the health care manual, so as to give reference to the doctor when reexamining.

Second: accompany patients to fixed hospital to reexamine prothrombin time and activity to reduce errors. The PT was kept at 18-24 seconds and the activity was about 35%. If the dosage of anticoagulant is changed, Pt and activity should be reexamined after 3 days until it is close to the required index.

Third: the first 6 months after the operation should be 1-2 weeks, after 6 months, it must be 2-3 months, after 1 year, it can be 3 months, and each test must have normal specimens as control.
