Presentation Transcript

  1. Preparing for Surgery and Recovery Surgery can be intimidating and often is nerve racking if you are not prepared for it, but with the proper guidance and information, you can be prepared on your day of surgery. Make a list of questions and discuss them with your surgical team at your pre-operative visit. You should understand what your surgery will entail as well as the expectations after surgery. Bring a complete list of your medical conditions and medications (including prescription, over the counter, and herbal-nutritional supplements) with the dosage for each one.

  2. When You Should Stop Eating And Drinking Why is this important? You should have as little food, drink, or stomach acid in your stomach as possible at the time of anesthesia. After eating or drinking, it takes at least 6-8 hours for food and/or drink to leave the stomach and enter the intestines. If you do not eat or drink after 11:59 pm on the night before your surgery, your stomach should be empty be the time anesthesia is administered. This decreases the chances of nausea, vomiting, or an upset stomach, or an upset stomach with anesthesia or aspiration.

  3. What you should bring with you While each center has different policies, it is highly recommended that you bring the following with you on your day of surgery: • Medical insurance card • Passport or driver’s license as legal identification • List of medications that are regularly taken

  4. Who You will Be Meeting With As the leader of the team, the foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon will speak with you again about your surgery. Many surgeons will have already discussed what to expect from surgery, but this lets you ask any last-minute questions or express concerns to the surgeon. At this time, the surgeon will mark your surgical area with his/her initials via pen or marker and verify with you that it is correct.

  5. Your Options For Anesthesia During Surgery Some form of anesthesia is needed to safely receive any kind of foot or ankle surgery. Anesthesia options include general anesthesia, sedation, regional anesthesia, or local anesthesia.With general anesthesia, you are completely asleep during surgery. You receive medicine through your IV to make you fall asleep. Once asleep, you receive a tube in your mouth (laryngeal mask airway or LMA) or windpipe (endotracheal tube or ETT) to protect your lungs and keep you breathing during surgery.
