Recovery after cardiac bypass surgery
author: doctor Bobyleva Т.R. Heart bypass surgery, or aorto-coronary bypass surgery, is being used more and more often. The operation is performed with ischemic heart disease, in the case of a significant blockage of blood vessels that directly feed the heart muscle. The shunt itself is the same vessel, only created especially from natural or synthetic materials, and directed to bypass the clogged vessel. The natural material can be the patient's own vessel - the subcutaneous vein of the leg or the thoracic artery, but only on condition that the vessels have no pathology! The operation is technically quite complicated, conducted under general anesthesia, takes about 4 hours. During the operation, it is necessary to use the device of artificial circulation (AIC), that is, complete disconnection of the heart from work. That is, surgical intervention is serious enough and should not cause the patient frivolous attitude. After the operation, the patient is in the intensive care unit, until the consciousness is completely restored, and then, he is transferred to the ward of the cardiosurgical unit. Work on rehabilitation begins from the very first day of the patient's stay in the general ward. In addition to physical rehabilitation in the form of therapeutic physical exercises, they use dietotherapy, psychotherapy, aroma and phytotherapy, and training in the right way of life. The patient should understand that if he follows the same lifestyle after the operation as he did before it, this will lead to a deplorable outcome. The shunt is the same vessel as all the other vessels of our body, and it clogs up just like its predecessor. The task of the patient in the recovery period is to learn how to behave in a way that never happens. And thus avoid the consequences of shunting the heart .
Diet after heart bypass, which must be adhered to constantly, should exclude cholesterol, from which the plaques form on the vessels. And as it is necessary to exclude products that increase the patient's blood pressure, whether it be spices, tonic drinks, alcohol, salty foods. The level of blood pressure and pulse should be monitored continuously, and in no case should not miss cardiovascular prescribed drugs. Essential role in the formation of a correct lifestyle is played by quitting smoking, reducing the increased body weight. In general, it is most important to follow a diet after cardiac bypass and maintain moderate physical activity. Therapeutic physical training, used for recovery after cardiac bypass surgery, is carried out in several stages. Initially, this is a gentle load, the patient performs exercises in bed, 70% of the time is rest. Further studies in the sitting position, the percentage of rest is reduced to 50. The next stage is started when the doctor allows the patient to walk independently. Thus, only the initial complex of necessary physical education is performed within the walls of the hospital. The next stage will be the stay of the patient in a specialized sanatorium, where the rehabilitation program includes walking, health path, light jogging, swimming, as well as simulators. It is very important to avoid sedentary lifestyle after staying in a sanatorium.
