  KEEPINGS SENIORS SAFE IN SUMMERS Summers can be an enjoyable weather for seniors where they can let their guards down and indulge in outdoor activities that can be relaxing for them. It is the best weather to enjoy a day at the beach or a picnic at the park with friends. While getting some essential vitamin D from the sun is important, with seniors there are always some risks involved. Keeping in mind their independence and their safety, here are some tips to keep in check before they leave home! Skin Care – Sun is without doubt the best natural source of vitamin D, but exposure to sun can take a toll on their skin. With age, their skin has become thin and delicate and sunburn is a cause of concern. When going outdoors, they should always use a sunscreen having at least 30 SPF or higher to prevent sunburns and heat marks. Comfortable Clothing – Summers mean wearing as less clothes as possible and yet keeping safe from suntans and sunburns, but feeling at ease and comfortable. ...

Congenital Heart Disease Management - Curodoc Healthcare

 AT THE HOSPITAL

CHD brings with it many trips to the hospital or doctor for tests, procedures, surgery, or even the slightest sickness. Fear and worry come naturally to parents and especially when it comes to their children.

You can follow these tips to help your child at the hospital:
  • Keep a favorite toy or blanket with the child, it will make them more comfortable.
  • Do inform the nurses about any particular routine or habit that your child might have.
  • Do tell the nurses about any words which calm the child.
  • If your child is a newborn, hold and touch him or her often to promote bonding.
If your child has oxygen problems:
  • Help calm the child.
  • Keep your child warm.
  • Teach your child to lie down on sit with his/her knees to the chest as it helps in regulating oxygen level in the body.
  • Oxygen is usually given (in the hospital) by placing a tube at the entrance of the nostril, it has to be regulated and the amount of oxygen needs to calculated.

AT HOME

Oxygen Therapy:

Your child may also require oxygen at home. It is given through a small tube that is connected to an oxygen cylinder or concentrator.

Giving Medicine:

Keep a check on your child's medicines as heart medicines are strong and can be dangerous if not given correctly.

If your child takes a blood thinning medication, take care to avoid injury as blood thinners can cause serious bleeding problems.

A home nurse can help to keep track and schedule medicines, manage oxygen levels, and keep the child comfortable.

 


Meals:

Children who have heart defects need a lot of nutrients and a well-balanced diet.

Small portions with frequent meals in 2-3 hour intervals.

Learn to recognize your child’s signs of hunger such as sucking on a fist, biting, etc.

Talking to a nutritionist to help in preparing balanced meals that can give your child the energy that he/she needs.

Preventing infections:

Congenital heart defects can increase the risk of an infection. Routine vaccinations and antibiotics to prevent infections are a must.

Emotional issues:
  • Children can have low self-esteem because of their scars from surgery and might not be growing as well as their peers. Keep their spirits high by encouraging them and keeping them active and occupied with other things.
  • They may also feel alone and have trouble making friends and keeping them due to their on-and-off visits to the hospital.
  • Teaching young adults about their heart defect and self-care skills that include medicines, exercise, and a heart-healthy lifestyle is very important.

Taking care of yourself:

You can only take care of your child if you are strong and healthy. CHD is a lifelong and possibly life-threatening illness. The first step is to accept it, which you might have already crossed. Along with caring for your child, you need to take good care of your own physical and emotional health. It will help give you the energy that you need to care for your child.

 

You can also:
  • Learn more about the heart defect.
  • Ask questions.
  • Join a support group.
  • Talk to a counselor.
  • Family counseling

It feels very disturbing and muddled when someone in your family, friends or other beloved people fall sick or may be in   such condition where one needs to be taken care at home, the feeling gets worse when we fail to give the love, care, and the affection which we really want to give them in their infirm days.

Home Nursing Services in Delh i Occupying the home nursing services in Delhi and also in other places has become one of the most comfortable and convenient ways to look after your loving people. Being supremely engaged in work it turns out to be very stressful and hectic for a person to maintain a balance between his/her professional and personal life.

We also understand that everything cannot be the cure at home and we will definitely need to go to the hospital but for a minor disease or in case we need a caretaker all the time for the person then at that time nothing could be better than having the service of healthcare treatment at home. If you search for the home nursing services in Delhi/NCR then there are multiple numbers of healthcare service providers who guarantee for a compiled service but the bitter truth ...
