Cardiac Health Disruption - Real Life Case Study Permission has been granted to share this actual doctor's report of a valve replacement surgery. Please, read these three documents. You may not understand all the terminology, but after studying Hinkle and Cheever (2018) you should be able to get the idea of what all took place. What is not in this report is the concern before the surgery of the patient and family. The patient lives in an assisted living facility with his wife of 50 years. His wife suffered a massive stroke seven years ago and requires ongoing assistance with activities of daily living day and night. The patient provides many of these cares but does have the help of nursing assistants that are scheduled for morning and afternoon cares. While hospitalized the patient's daughter is staying with his wife to provide assistance and support for her both physically and emotionally. Following the surgery, the patient is admitted to the Critical Care Unit ventilated and was later weaned, which is normal procedure. All went very well. When the patient was later weaned from the ventilator and coming out of the effects of anesthesia, the patient experienced intense pain, mostly in his side. Refer to Hinkle and Cheever (2018) pages 774-779. You are the nurse coming on after the patient was extubated. You have the surgery report and the report from the last shift related to pain. Based on the surgical report, could you explain to the patient the basis for his pain? What are your top two priorities for the care of this patient? What might the patient's priority be for the shift? Heart Valve Surgery.pdfPreview the document This is a summary of the original Operative Report.
