Question

Answer 1

Umm try again but this time use the English language.

Answer 2

This should be prescribed by your cardiologist! I was told no work, no sex, no strenuous activity and many more! It all goes by age and other factors so no one here can accurately answer your question! As for the statement someone answered that multiple catherizations cause many more problems is simply ludicrous! I had two three weeks apart and have had a total of six without any problems due to following my cardiologist instructions. I did have one that leaked but they sand bagged it over night and the next day it was fine. A little extra soreness for a few weeks until the blood absorbed but nothing major!

Answer 3

Nursing care includes:

Keeping the patient flat for the amount of time prescribed by Dr.

Checking the site of the catherization for swelling, bruising, bleeding and documenting any change, notifying the dr of excessive changes beyond the expected.

Checking for swelling in the foot, knee of the same side as the procedure

Checking all the pulses from the knee to the pedal (foot) pulses

Checking for color, warmth, and capillary refill on the procedure side

Checking and recording vital signs, noting significant changes, every 15 minutes post op for 1 hour, then ever 1/2 hour for 1 hour, then hourly until they get up. (part of this is recovery room procedures)

Once you have passed the prescribed time for being flat, you must resume activity slowly and do nothing in excess.

Discharge instructions includes all prescriptions given by the dr.

No hot baths, hot tubs, etc

Showering OK

No aspirin, and resume Coumadin therapy as prescribed by dr.

Instructions to patient on wound care and wound checking.

Answer 4

Hi. Usually after a catheterization you feel pretty good, especially if they put in a stent. The doctor will give you an anticoagulant to prevent any clots from forming fro a month or two.

Answer 5

You should increase activity a little at a time, eat healthy food choices, most people don't do as well with the 2nd or 3rd heart cath
