Heart valve replacement with atrial enlargement how to do?

summary

Heart valve replacement is a kind of operation method that uses artificial valve to replace diseased heart valve under cardiopulmonary bypass. It is suitable for patients with severe valvular disease, failure of valvuloplasty or other surgical procedures. Mitral valve replacement is the most common, followed by aortic valve replacement, and tricuspid valve and pulmonary valve replacement is less. For patients with heart valve disease undergoing valve replacement, it's better to be aware of this clearly. Even if we succeed in valve replacement, what should we do with heart valve replacement and atrial enlargement? Now let me tell you something.

Heart valve replacement with atrial enlargement how to do?

If we have abnormal communication between the prosthetic valve and the patient's own valve ring tissue after the operation. This is most likely caused by postoperative infection or related to the suture technique. If our patients have prosthetic valve thrombosis and thrombosis, it is directly related to improper anticoagulant treatment.

If we have an infection after surgery. We should use sufficient short-term antibiotics in time, and pay attention that the drugs used should not affect the effect of anticoagulants. We should try our best to avoid the use of antipyretic and analgesic drugs, so as to avoid the synergistic effect (excessive) with anticoagulants to induce bleeding. Moreover, before our body fully recovers, if we catch a cold, it will also cause pain.

If we had a heart valve replacement. Special attention should be paid to the prevention of early postoperative arrhythmia. 2. Nursing care of infection. Correct and reasonable use of antibiotics after operation. 3. Anticoagulant nursing. Prothrombin time should be measured in the morning of the third day after operation, and prothrombin time should be maintained at normal value. Otherwise, the postoperative complications will lead to the enlargement of our atrium and cause unnecessary damage and influence to our body.
