Congenital heart disease open-chest surgery

Heart disease is a relatively common disease. Late-stage heart disease is mainly caused by heart dysfunction due to excessive stress or staying up late. Therefore, the treatment for heart disease is to relieve the pressure on the heart, breathe more fresh air, and avoid being in a toxic environment. It is very troublesome for congenital heart disease, because congenital heart disease is more difficult to treat, and it is hereditary and needs to be treated through open-chest surgery.

If the patient's congenital heart disease is more serious, then the disease must not be delayed. He should go to the hospital for examination and surgery as soon as possible to relieve the patient's symptoms and improve the condition. Moreover, after completing thoracotomy, patients should also pay attention to care in daily life so that the body can recover as soon as possible and obtain the best treatment effect.

How should open-chest surgery for congenital heart disease be performed?

1. Because the risk of this operation is very high, we should conduct a comprehensive examination before treatment to observe the patient's symptoms, and then choose the appropriate surgical plan based on the specific situation to avoid unexpected situations.

2. After determining the surgical plan, we should anesthetize the patient. Since open-chest surgery involves greater risks and takes a longer time, we should perform general anesthesia. And during anesthesia, we also need to place a urinary catheter in the patient to keep the patient's urination unobstructed.

3. After anesthesia is completed, we will establish extracorporeal circulation to avoid unexpected conditions in the patient's body. During the operation, the doctor must be very careful and cautious to minimize the impact of the operation on the patient's heart to avoid medical accidents. After the treatment is completed, we must suture the wound carefully to allow it to heal as quickly as possible.

4. After the operation is completed, we cannot take it lightly. The patient should be sent to the intensive care unit for observation to avoid accidents. Only after the patient's body has recovered to a certain degree can we complete the discharge procedures for him. But after junior high school, we can't take it lightly. We should pay attention to postoperative care and conduct regular check-ups.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the process of open-chest surgery for congenital heart disease. Since this type of surgery is relatively risky, we must remain cautious during the process to try to avoid medical accidents. After the operation, we must also pay attention to daily care so that the patient's body can recover as soon as possible.
