Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery is a procedure that uses a healthy blood vessel taken from another part of your body to redirect blood flow around a blocked artery to your heart. The purpose of bypass surgery is to improve blood flow and heart function, reduce risk of dying from heart disease, and relieve chest pain. Depending on what kind of heart disease you have, the risks of heart surgery is different for everyone. The good news is that most patients benefit from bypass surgery and the survival rate is high. If you or a loved one is anticipating heart surgery in upcoming months, A-1 Home Care in Long Beach will help you maximize your recovery time after hospital discharge.
Before and After Surgery
To best prepare for your surgery, A-1 Home Care provides home care services before, during and after coronary bypass surgery. Prior to surgery, you or your elderly loved one may have a lot of questions. If you have a caregiver, certified nurse aide, or companion already picked out by A-1 Home Care, you can bring the caregiver with you on your doctor visits to discuss cardiac rehabilitation care after the surgery. Constant communication is key for recovery. Anyone who is involved in your surgery after-care – family members or caregivers – should be in the know about your medication, expectations after surgery, and best after-care practices. Enabling your elderly loved one to discuss his or her fears openly with a companion will help her prepare for surgery.
When surgery is successfully completed, pick-up services can be arranged for your loved one. Post-surgery care include pick-up and drop-off services, 24-hour care immediately following the bypass surgery, meal preparation, toileting care, and assistance with laundry and housekeeping. For after-care appointments, our post-surgery care providers will take you anywhere in Long Beach or wherever you need to go in Los Angeles County.
