Full transcript
Before we finalize your admission for the knee replacement at Liverpool Hospital next Thursday, I need to check every medication you're currently taking, including anything for your heart.
Uzimam aspirin za srce, metformin za šećer i tablete za pritisak. Mogu li sama prestati piti aspirin prije operacije ili moram prvo pitati svog kardiologa?
Please don't stop the aspirin yourself. I'll contact your cardiologist today to confirm exactly when it should be paused before Thursday's surgery, so we get clear instructions.
Hvala vam. A šta je sa metforminom? Da li da popijem tabletu za šećer ujutro na dan operacije ili da je preskočim?
Skip the metformin that morning, since fasting can affect your blood sugar levels significantly. Take it again once you're eating normally after the surgery is finished.
Razumijem. Zadnji put sam imala jaku mučninu poslije anestezije. Hoće li mi dati nešto protiv mučnine ovoga puta, i hoću li upoznati anesteziologa prije operacije?
Yes, we'll give you anti-nausea medication through your IV before you wake up. The anaesthetist will also meet you briefly on the morning.
Hvala, to me smiruje. Koliko sati prije operacije ne smijem ništa jesti ni piti?
No solid food for six hours before surgery, but you may drink clear water up until two hours beforehand if you feel thirsty.
Razumijem. Da li ću ostati u bolnici preko noći ili ću ići kući isti dan poslije operacije?
You'll stay overnight for observation, unless the surgeon has any concerns, in which case you might need to stay a second night as well.
U redu, hvala vam na svemu. Moj suprug će me pokupiti kad me otpuste iz bolnice.
