During this week’s prac I was working on the surgical ward, which gave a great opportunity to treat patients after cardiac and various abdominal surgeries. Just want to express how much I have enjoyed working in the surgical ward. I sow a guy day one post cardiac surgery and followed the rehab protocol until he got discharged. It’s amazing that day one post operation we sit them over the edge of the bed and walk them in afternoon.
My supervisor let me to do the whole assessment and treatment on this patient (of course she was present at the time). Anyway was really daunting to begin with as this guy had attachments everywhere.
I took a big breath and started my subjective assessment following an objective assessment and so on. In went really very well, I was really pleased that I remembered all the things we have been taught at uni in terms of how to safely mobilise and treat surgical patients.
It was such a good practice in terms of problem list and also to have a real visual picture what the patients look like day one post operation. I am glad to have this experience, as it wasn’t planned. Now I feel that I am ready to do my cardio PCR.
