3 R Before Surgery Patient Checklist Use this checklist to mark off each step. Fill in the blanks to make sure you know the plan for your surgery. It s OK to Ask questions. We want to partner with you to provide the best care possible. You and your doctor decide surgery is the best option for you. Your surgeon s office will tell you the date and time of your surgery. Date: Time: AM / PM Write down the medicine you take, how much, and when. Use the medication record on page 15. Include vitamins, over-the-counter medicine, and herbal supplements. You will review your health history and medications with a Bronson preadmission nurse. The nurse will call you and give you specific instructions about your surgery. Share your health history, allergies, past surgeries, and medications. The call will last about minutes. There is always time for questions. If you do not hear from a Bronson preadmission nurse one week before your surgery, call your preadmission nurse. We may cancel your surgery if we do not have your medical history. If the nurse is unavailable, please leave a message and allow 48 hours for a return phone call. If the matter is urgent, please call (269) and ask for any nurse. Bronson LakeView Lab Hours: Monday - Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday 8 a.m. to noon Bronson LakeView Outpatient Center Diagnostics: Monday - Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday 8 a.m. to noon Take Notes During Your Call With Your Bronson Preadmission Nurse: When is my surgery? What time should I be there? Where do I report? Are there medications I need to stop? Are there any medications I MUST take the morning of surgery (take with small sip of water)? What testing do I need? Where? When? Are there any special preparations I need to do? When do I stop eating and drinking? What should I bring to the hospital? 3
4 R You will receive a call from Bronson Registration. If you have insurance, share your policy information. We will discuss your co-pays, deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs. Bronson bills most insurance companies. Call your insurance company about pre-authorization or pre-certification requirements several days before your surgery. Call Bronson HealthAnswers at (269) for questions about the cost of your surgery. Bring any advance directive papers you may have. This includes a living will or power of attorney. There is no standard form for this documentation. You can write your own, have a lawyer create one for you, or use Bronson s form. To obtain a copy of this or if you have questions, contact Medical Social Work at (269) Decide who will pick you up from the hospital. If you are going home the same day as your surgery, someone needs to drive you home. You also need an adult to stay with you for 24 hours after you leave. The drugs or anesthesia you will get make it unsafe for you to drive a car for 24 hours or to return home alone. Name of Friend or Family Member Friend or Family Member s Phone Number (Note: For children, one parent or guardian must stay in the surgery waiting room at all times. It is best for two adults to come with a child having surgery.) Make plans for when you return home. For example, get help preparing meals. Ask someone to help with daily chores. Have someone available to run errands. One Day Before Surgery No food or drink after midnight the night before surgery. This means no gum, candy, or cough drops. Do NOT drink water, unless you need a sip to take your medicine. If your stomach is not empty, you may vomit when we put in the breathing tube. The vomit could get in your lungs. This may cause pneumonia or death. No smoking 24 hours before surgery. Smoking makes it harder for you to heal. Call your doctor if have a sore throat, fever or cold. We may need to reschedule your surgery. Sleep in fresh, clean sheets. Do not sleep with your pet. If you have questions or concerns, please call your surgeon s office or Bronson s preadmission nurse. Take a shower the night before surgery. Do NOT shave the area of your surgery. This helps prevent infection. If you are an adult who is having surgery below your neck, follow the Shower Directions on page 5 of this booklet using the chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) soap. Children should not use CHG soap. 4 This booklet is available online at bronsonhealth.com/yoursurgery in English and Español.
5 Shower Instructions Adult patients who are having surgery below the neck should use chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) soap. You can buy CHG soap at most local pharmacies. Please note: Children and adult patients who are having surgery above the neck should not use CHG soap. If you are allergic to chlorhexidine or if you cannot buy CHG soap, you may shower with an antibacterial soap. 1. Shower the night before your surgery and again just before you come to the hospital. 2. Do NOT shave the area of your surgery. 3. With each shower, wash your hair as usual with your normal shampoo. 4. Use CHG soap if you are an adult patient having surgery below the neck. 5. If you are using the CHG soap, apply it to your body from the neck down. Do NOT use CHG soap near your eyes, ears or genitals to avoid injury to those areas. Turn off the water and wash gently for two minutes, using about two ounces of CHG soap for your entire body. 6. Rinse well. 7. Dry with a fresh, clean, dry towel. 8. Do NOT use lotion, powder, perfume or aftershave. 9. Put on fresh, clean clothes. 5

9 Your Surgery Experience at the Hospital What To Expect When You Arrive When you arrive, please report to registration located on the main floor. Once you are registered, you will be escorted to the surgery department. You will get a surgical permit and be asked to wait in our waiting room. A staff member from Bronson LakeView Surgery will call you when it is time for you to come back to the pre-surgery room. Here you will: Sign the consent for surgery. Change into a patient gown. Discuss questions or concerns. Be asked you name, date of birth, doctor and type of surgery. This is for your safety. We want to make sure we have the right patient for the right procedure. Be asked where you will have surgery. Your skin may then be marked. This is for your safety. If your surgery requires anesthesia, you will also meet a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) before your surgery. The CRNA will talk with you and answer any questions you may have about anesthesia. Please tell a member of our staff if you have questions for your surgeon. Once you are prepared for surgery, your family may join you in the pre-surgery room until it is time for your surgery. During Surgery Registration Patient Registration During surgery, we will give updates to your family every 90 minutes. Please let the receptionist know if it has been longer than 90 minutes since the last update. We will tell your family if you surgery is delayed or your recovery takes longer than expected. When your surgery is over, the receptionist will notify your family. The physician will talk with them about your surgery. 9
10 What To Expect After Surgery After surgery, you will go the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) to recover. This unit is divided into two phases. You will stay in Phase I until you have recovered from anesthesia. Then you will be moved to Phase II. In Phase II you may: Be offered fluids and light food. Have your family members join you. Be continually checked on and asked how you feel. Parents are expected to remain with their child in Phase II recovery. Each person reacts differently to anesthesia. Some patients go directly to Phase II recovery. We cannot promise that you will be out of Phase I recovery or be able to receive visitors at a specific time. We will update your family on your progress. Please be patient and help us make sure you get the best care possible. After Phase II recovery, you will be able to leave the hospital or go to an inpatient room. Sometimes patients may need to stay with us for an extended amount of time after surgery. This is due to the amount of medicine you need after surgery, the speed of your recovery, or other reasons. If you stay the night at the hospital, you will go to Phase I recovery and then go to your room. Your family and visitors can meet you in your room. In the unlikely event that the surgery or anesthesia recovery becomes long or complicated, your doctor may admit you as an inpatient to Bronson LakeView Hospital. Pre-surgery Room Phase I Recovery Room 10 This booklet is available online at bronsonhealth.com/yoursurgery in English and Español.
11 Take Care of Yourself in the Hospital and Home Prevent Infection Wash your hands before eating and after you use the bathroom. Ask staff, family, friends and visitors to wash their hands. Avoid touching your incision or bandage. Ask people not to visit if they are sick. Take antibiotics if your doctor orders them. Control Your Pain You will have some pain after surgery. We will do everything we can to help reduce your pain to a comfortable level. Here are some tips: Tell your nurse if you are in pain. The nurse will ask you to rate your pain on a scale of Zero is no pain and 10 is the most intense pain. Ask for pain medicine before your level of pain gets too bad. Are you in pain? Tell us! Take the pain pills your doctor ordered for you. No Pain Mild Pain Moderate Pain Severe Pain Very Severe Pain Worst Possible Pain Prevent Breathing Problems Follow these tips to help prevent pneumonia: Take a deep breath in and then cough deeply 10 times every one to two hours while awake. If you have pain when you cough, you can hold a pillow or rolled-up blanket against your chest or stomach, and apply pressure as you cough. You may be given a device called an incentive spirometer to help you take deep breaths and measure your lung capacity. Staff will teach you how to use this. Get out of bed and move about as soon as possible after surgery. Be active as soon as possible after surgery. You may be helped to walk as soon as four hours after surgery. Changing your position helps you breathe deeper. This prevents breathing problems and improves the blood flow in your legs. Your doctor will tell you how much you can do. Do not smoke. This slows the healing process. Get out of bed at least three to four times a day. Call for help first. 11
12 Reduce the Chance for Blood Clots Keep the blood moving in your legs. Get out of bed and move about as soon as possible after surgery. Call for help first. Do ankle exercises three to five times every one to two hours after surgery: 1. Lie on your back with legs straight and flat. 2. Move your ankles by pointing your toes toward the foot of the bed and then point your toes towards your knee. 3. Trace circles in the air with each foot. You may have elastic stockings (TED hose) or inflatable wraps placed on your legs to help your circulation. They will be given to you when you arrive for surgery. Prevent falls Always ask for help before getting out of bed. Wear socks or slippers with rubber soles. Keep your call light close by to use when you need help. Leaving the Hospital Your doctor will decide when you can go home. We will give you instructions for after surgery, a list of current medicines, and your doctor s phone number. We will also give you information on what to look for and when to seek medical care if your recovery is not going as planned. It s OK to Ask questions. Billing/Payment Call Bronson Patient Billing at (269) for questions about your Bronson bill. You may also discuss payment options. 12 This booklet is available online at bronsonhealth.com/yoursurgery in English and Español.
