Dietary adjustment In general, when congenital heart disease patients return home after surgery, there are no special contraindications to their diet, except that they should pay attention to supplementary nutrition, reasonable matching and easy digestion, and there is no need to restrict salt. For patients with complex deformities, low heart function and persistent congestive heart failure after surgery, salt intake should be controlled to 2 grams to 4 grams per day. Family members should educate the patient to eat less and more, not to overeat, and not to overeat, and try to control snacks and beverages so as not to increase the burden on the heart. (1) The patient’s housing should be sunny, clean, warm and comfortable, windows should be opened regularly for ventilation, beds should be kept clean and comfortable, and patients should change clothes regularly to prevent skin infections. (2) Patients can take a bath or shower after the incision scabs fall off on their own, but do not use irritating soap and do not rub the skin at the incision with force. If the incision is found to be red, swollen, swollen and painful or there is running water and fever, go to the hospital as soon as possible to check whether there is incision infection. (3) Pay attention to keep warm, prevent colds, and reduce activities in public places to prevent infection with diseases. (4) For children, parents should correct overprotective and coddling parent-child behavior as soon as possible, help children gradually shift from the role of patients to the role of normal people, increase their self-confidence, encourage more contact with peers, establish normal interpersonal relationships through play, eliminate inferiority and loneliness, and reduce children’s excessive dependence on family members. Parents should use more encouragement in education methods, let their children do more things within their ability, improve their children’s independent living and social adaptability, and make their children live in a cheerful and happy mood. (5) Most congenital heart disease patients after surgery, if the deformity correction is satisfactory, recovery is good, to the age of marriage can be married to lead a normal sex life. However, we should pay attention to the fact that it must be after the complete recovery of physical strength and heart function, and the consent of the doctor should be obtained before marriage. (6) Most female patients can get pregnant and have children after marriage, but whether a few female patients with complex congenital heart disease can have children or not depends on the specific situation, if the postoperative heart function is not very good, do not get pregnant, so as not to increase the burden on the heart. The use of medication care The recovery of heart function after congenital heart disease surgery is better generally does not require the use of cardiac and diuretic agents. Patients with complex malformations, severe pulmonary hypertension or poor cardiac function should use cardiac stimulants, diuretics or vasodilators as prescribed by the doctor. Before discharge from the hospital, you should ask the name of the drug taken; the dose, the time of taking the drug, the possible side effects and the treatment method, and not to take the drug indiscriminately to avoid danger. After the medication prescribed by the doctor is finished, you should go to the hospital for a review to find out whether you need to continue taking it, and you should not decide on your own. Special care To strengthen the cultivation of correct posture, within 1 year of discharge, try to lie in a flat position, not side-lying, so as not to affect the normal healing of the sternum. Family members should pay attention to correct the patient’s incorrect posture, especially after the operation of unclosed arterial catheter. Because the operation of unclosed arterial catheter is performed by using the left posterior lateral incision, the incision is long, the patient is afraid to move the left arm after the operation, afraid of pain, and loves to walk with a slanted body, with the left shoulder low and the right shoulder high. Family members should encourage the patient to move the left arm more often and walk in an upright posture. Functional exercise (1)In general, the activities of congenital heart disease patients back home after surgery should avoid excessive play, especially for those pediatric patients who cannot self-regulate, parents must arrange the amount of activities according to his specific condition, and must not leave it alone, so as not to over-activate and increase the burden on the heart. (2) Patients with preoperative cardiac function of more than three levels, severe enlargement of the heart and severe arterial hypertension need a long time to recover, so do not rush to activities after discharge, and increase the amount of activities appropriately with the recovery of the condition, avoid strenuous physical activities, and the amount of activities should not appear to be fatigue. (3) Chest expansion exercises should be practiced to prevent pectus excavatum. It is sometimes difficult to avoid in small children, but do not panic, because the sternal healing process is affected by the heartbeat to form, and will improve significantly with age and the development of the chest muscle. Post-operative review Patients should have the contact information with the operating hospital before they go home, write down the contact number, detailed address, contact name, etc., and put it in an obvious and not easy to lose location at home after they go home, so that they can get in touch in time if something happens. The patient should be reviewed at the hospital 3 to 6 months after surgery.
