1. Openly talk to your surgeon
While you are making a decision on the operation, make a checklist of the questions you would like to answer the surgeon. This may include an instruction or need for surgery, recovery time, potential postoperative complications or discomfort, etc. Never be reluctant to ask questions as a patient’s consent, as well as the belief that is most important for any surgeon.
2. Share the full history of the disease
Always inform the surgeon about any previous diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disorders, etc.), allergies (if any), the history of previous surgery and the current drug.
3. Checking to anesthesia
After preliminary investigations (laboratory, as well as visualization), the patient must meet his anesthetist for PAC (check for anesthesia). Once this is cleared, you should look for a preliminary author from a health insurance company (or TPA). Also Read Anesthetic methods for surgical patients with high risk: tips to remember
4. Strictly follow the instructions for previous surgery
Your surgeon or anesthesiologist will give you some previous instructions. For example:
- Fasting instructions (usually not nutrition and liquid 8 hours before surgery).
- Personal adjustments, especially blood flow (stop 3-5 days before surgery) or diabetes medication (usually avoided in the morning surgery).
- Intestinal preparation (if necessary).
- To stop smoking.
Strict maintaining these instructions is crucial for the patient’s safety and to ensure a good result of the operation.
5. Night to surgery
The day before surgery, keep a paper copy (or a soft copy) of all medical documents, TPA approval and personality certificate. Do not forget to put the morning alarm, as patients will usually come in the early hours in the morning. Agree on the attendant who will be with you on the day of surgery, as well as the day after discharge from the hospital. Planning these forward helps to reduce stress and allows you to restore recovery.
6. Post the presence of emotional and mental well -being
Worried naturally. Talk to your surgeon if required, or talk to friends, family members or a person who has survived a similar surgical procedure in the past. A constructive and peaceful mental state can help surgery as well as recovery. Also Read Just had the bypass? Follow the following 18 gold rules for a stronger heart after surgery
