Cardiac Surgery
Our hospital also offers services from the domain of cardiovascular children. In this domain of surgery, the most common are cardiovascular surgery. We can boast of a team that has great experience in working with children. Operations can be performed on children from the newborn age, and so on until the age of majority. Vaše dijete će biti naručeno za predoperativno savjetovanje i testiranje par sedmica prije planirane operacije. Prilikom te posjete bolnici, može se organizovati šetnja i upoznavanje sa odjelom i prostorijama u bolnici. Uobičajeni preoperativni testovi uključuju testiranje krvi i rentgensko slikanje, elektrokardiogram (EKG), ehokardiogram (Ultrazvuk srca) i interventne kardiološke procedure u pedijatrijskoj kardiologiji koje se izvode u općoj anesteziji.
Children are usually admitted to the hospital in the morning, the day before surgery. How long will the operation last and how long your baby will have to be in the hospital depends on the condition of your baby's heart, the type of inborn heart failure, the possible associated anomalies of other organs and the operation of the system. Važno je da Vaše dijete bude što je moguće bolje pripremljeno za operaciju. Tokom dvije sedmice prije planirane operacije, držite Vaše dijete podalje od ljudi koji imaju prehladu ili groznicu. Ako Vaše dijete razvije groznicu, kašalj ili prehladu tokom tog vremena, razgovarajte sa nekim od kardiologa ili članom operativnog tima kako biste odlučili da li bi operacija trebala biti odložena.
It is important that you prepare for the operation and stay at the hospital. Your child's cardiology team will provide you with information to prepare for your child's preoperative preparation, surgery, and hospital stay. Medicinsko osoblje je obučeno i dostupno da odgovori na Vaša pitanja. Posjeta bolnici prije planirane operacije može pomoći Vama i Vašem djetetu da se bolje pripremite za operativni zahvat.
To help your child feel better in the hospital environment, you can bring toys and items that are very fond of your child. You can ask us about the rules of hospital work and about the time when you can visit. Parents and guardians are allowed to stay overnight in the room with their child. We can also help you organize accommodation near the hospital if you are interested.
Talk to your child about staying at the hospital
How to explain and prepare your child depends on your child's age, ability to understand and emotional maturity. Your pediatric cardiologist, cardio surgeon, and other specially trained medical and healthcare workers at the hospital can help you get through the period of preparation for the operation, the operation itself, and the postoperative period. It is important to explain simple, truthful information and answer any questions that are of interest to parents and children.
