Post Cardiothoracic Care
patients should have to maintain a healthy diet after undergoing a cardiothoracic surgery. At PRK Hospitals we have the best nutritionists who will suggest the patient the best diet that suit their body functioning. Patients underwent this surgery should take at least 6 to 8 weeks rest. Our surgeons suggest daily walking to all the patients and other physical activity can be increased gradually. Immediately after the surgery patients are not advised to lift heavy weights, climbing stairs, take improper diets etc.
What can I expect from my consultation?
During your initial visit, our nurse practitioner and one of our physicians will meet with you and discuss your condition. We will also perform a physical examination and review any and all studies that are available. We will then discuss our findings with you and your family and explore various treatment options.
If you have any questions about your operation, you should contact us.
What can I expect after surgery?
After your surgery is finished, you will be brought to the ICU where you will recover from surgery. Many patients are still asleep when they arrive in the ICU. Generally, most patients spend approximately 24 hours recovering in the ICU after surgery. Once you are stable enough to leave the ICU (usually after 24-48 hours), you will be transferred to the step-down unit, where you will continue your recovery until you are ready for discharge. Keep in mind that every surgery is different, and everyone recovers differently after surgery. Your stay in the ICU or in the hospital may be longer or shorter, depending on your surgical procedure and your recovery.
What type of presurgical testing will I need?
Some patients may need blood tests and a chest x-ray prior to heart surgery. Often this testing can be completed on the day of your initial visit. If you require additional testing, we will arrange it for you. As a mandatory safety protocol, the hospital will provide each patient with a COVID-19 test prior to a procedure.
