1/Pre-operative procedure (kar veš, tvoje izkušnje)

Preoperative care refers to health care provided before a surgical operation. The aim of preoperative care is to do whatever is right to increase the success of the surgery. Immediately before surgery the person’s body is prepared, perhaps by washing with an antiseptic, and whenever possible their anxiety is addressed to make them comfortable.

Intravenous infusions – Drug administration through the intravenous route at a constant rate over a determined time interval.

Intravenous is a term that means »into the vein«. Intravenous medication administration occurs when a needle is inserted into a vein and medication is administered through that needle. The needle is usually placed in a vein near the elbow, the wrist or on the back of the hand. Different sites can be used if necessary.

3/A Translate

Two weeks ago the patient was admitted to this ward to have an assessment of his circulation and to monitor his wound management. He had the Doppler test done last week which indicated poor blood circulation in his lower legs. He is also been spiking temperatures and the surrounding skin of the wound has become quite reddened. We sent a wound swab off, and we just got results yesterday. He is growing a few bugs. The patient has been having a rough time with his leg wound. It would be better to use a different type of dressing methode.

Pred dvema tednoma je pacient prišel na pregled rane in cirkulacije krvi. Prejšni teden je naredil Dopplerjev test, s katerim je ugotovil, da ima slabo cirkulacijo spodnjega dela uda. Imel je tudi visoko temperaturo in koža okoli rane je postala malce rdeča. Poslali smo vzorec rane in včeraj smo dobili rezultate. Pacientu se širi okužba rane na nogi. Pacient je imel težke čase za sabo zaradi rane. Boljše bi bilo oz. mu priporočamo, da uporablja druge vrste oblačil.
