Tearpads Learning about Angina Pectoris What it is Angina is pain you feel when your heart doesn’t get enough blood flow. Your heart needs a steady supply of oxygen and other nutrients to work the way it should. When this does not happen, angina is the result. The pain is most often felt behind your breastbone, but it can spread. As a rule, an attack may only last 5 to 10 minutes during which there can be damage to your heart tissue. If it lasts longer than 15 minutes, you could be having a heart attack.

coronary arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood and oxygen to your heart. When fatty deposits (plaque) build up in these vessels, it blocks the blood flow that can get through.

The main cause of angina is coronary artery disease (CAD). Your

Other causes of angina include:

• spasm in the coronary artery

Coronary Arteries

• defective heart tissue

1. right coronary artery (RCA)

• hyperthyroidism • anemia

2. left anterior descending (LAD)

• inflammation of the blood vessels

our Blood Pressure

What is blood pressure? Your blood pressure is the force that moving blood puts on your artery walls. When your blood pressure is taken, two numbers are used to show it, like 120/80 (read 120 over 80).

peak pressure (systolic)

$10.50 7th grade reading level

$10.50 8th grade reading level

diastolic pressure

The first, or top number, is called the systolic pressure. This is how much pressure is on your arteries when the heart pumps blood out to your body. The second, or bottom number, is called the diastolic pressure. This is how much pressure is there when your blood vessels relax to let the blood flow back into your heart. Blood pressure levels are ranked in stages*. Each stage gives a range of blood pressure readings and tells how it ranks. The stages are: Rank Rank

item 429–CAD Risk Factors*

Learning about Endocarditis What is Endocarditis? Endocarditis (pronounced in-doe-card-eye-tiss) is an infection of your heart’s inner lining (endocardium) and/or heart valves. It is a rare disease caused by bacteria that live in different parts of your body. If the bacteria get into your bloodstream, they can settle on one of your heart valves, leading to endocarditis. Some surgeries and dental work can allow the bacteria to get into your bloodstream. The infection can damage or even destroy your heart valves. It can also form clots that can break off and spread to other parts of your body. These blood clots can cause heart failure, kidney failure, stroke or other serious health problems.

Exercise tips

Unless your heart failure is severe, you will probably be told to do some exercising. This may sound confusing if you have heard you need to rest a lot and not get tired.

• The best time to exercise is about 1 hour after eating or taking your medicines. • Stretch before you begin your exercise and cool down after you exercise. • Stay away from hard exercises and avoid lifting heavy things. • Don’t exercise in extreme heat or cold. It’s best to exercise when the temperature is between 40° and 80° F with low humidity.

The idea is to exercise to keep your body strong, but avoid overworking your heart. You should not do any exercises without talking to your doctor first.

• Start slowly and work up gradually. • Set realistic goals. • If you have any chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath that is abnormal for you, dizziness or nausea, stop the activity. Call your healthcare provider if the symptoms don’t get better.

Your doctor may want you to go to a cardiac rehab program. This is a program that teaches you how to exercise. You will learn how to move safely through your exercise plan and build confidence in what you can do.

• Also, note how tired you are each day. If you are too tired to get out of bed that day, or the next day, you need to reduce the amount of exercise you do.

If your heart failure is stable and your doctor OK’s an exercise program for you, moderate exercise can be very helpful. Some moderate exercises are:

If you are not used to exercising, you might start with 5 to 15 minutes of easy exercise, resting as often as needed to not get tired or out of breath. A goal might be to build up to 30 minutes of moderate exercise 3 to 5 times a week. But, if you can’t do this much, any amount of exercise can help.

Facts about CAD

Are you at risk?

If your heart does not get enough oxygen-rich blood, you may have chest pain called angina. When this happens, it can damage some of the your heart’s tissues.

CAD is much more common in older men. But, as women age, their risk of CAD is equal to men.

If the blood supply to your heart is cut off altogether, you may have a heart attack. When this happens, the damage is so bad that some of your heart cells die.

The heart needs a steady supply of oxygen and other nutrients to work as it should. Your coronary arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood, oxygen and other nutrients to your heart.

Having a family history of coronary artery disease puts you at greater risk for getting it. These factors also play a big role: poor diet (high-fat, high-cholesterol diet) high stress levels

diabetes high homocysteine levels

smoking

There is no way for your body to make new heart cells. So if some of your cells die, the damage is permanent. CAD is the leading killer of men and women in the US.

uncontrolled high blood pressure lack of physical activity obesity

It is also called CHD (coronary heart disease) or cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries.

earning About Your ICD

Caring for your ICD

About abnormal heart rhythms

Follow-up visits are needed to make sure that your ICD is working as it should. The settings, battery status and lead(s) are checked during these visits. An ECG may also be done. The ECG records the electrical activity of both your heart and ICD.

item 368–Heart Failure & Your Weight*

$10.50 6th grade reading level

A programmer (small computer) is used to read information stored in your ICD. The first step is to put a programming head or magnet over your ICD. This allows the doctor or nurse to test the settings and battery status. The doctor then uses the programmer to read any information the ICD has collected and stored since your last visit.

item 569–Learning About Your ICD*

The programmer can also be used to “reprogram” your ICD. If needed, it can change some of the settings to better treat your heart rhythm and help the ICD last as long as possible.

Another way to check your ICD is by using a telephone to send an ECG. You will be given a special transmitter that lets you record and send your ECG over the phone line. A receiving device at the other end records the signals and prints a report. The report is reviewed and then sent to your doctor. As a rule, you will be called for the ECG transmission. The time and day of the week can be fit to your schedule. Telephone monitoring does not replace follow-up office visits.

$14.50 8th grade reading level

four-sided • 11 x 17" folded

Your ICD is built to last several years before it has to be replaced. How long it lasts depends on how hard and how often the battery has to work. This is affected by how much energy is needed to shock your heart, how often the battery is used and how the system is programmed.

An abnormal change in either the rate or pattern of your heartbeat is called arrhythmia (or dysrhythmia). It may feel like a skipping, pounding or fluttering in your chest (palpitation). At times, there may be no sign of the problem. But it may cause: • dizziness • fainting • chest pain • confusion (not thinking straight) • fatigue (being tired) • shortness of breath An arrhythmia becomes serious when your heart beats too slow or too fast to pump the right amount of blood to keep your blood pressure normal. Arrhythmia can lead to sudden death in rare cases.

Extra fast heart beat Extra fast heart beats are called tachycardias. When your heartbeat is too fast, there may not be enough time for your heart to fill with blood between beats. So your heart does not pump blood to your brain and body as well as it does during a normal beat. If this fast heartbeat goes on, your brain and body may not get enough blood and oxygen. Most of the time these abnormal rhythms can be controlled with medicine, but if they can't, the doctor may recommend an ICD along with medicine. An ICD (internal cardioverter-defibrillator) is a device to "reset" a heart that is beating too fast. The two types of fast rhythms it detects are ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. These begin in the ventricles (lower heart chambers). Because the ventricles pump blood out to the body, these fast heart rhythms are serious and can be life threatening.

Metabolic Syndrome What it is

Why it is important

The definition of metabolic syndrome is hard to give. But, it means you have 3 of these 5 risk factors:

If you have the syndrome, you are at a higher risk of: • coronary artery disease • stroke • PVD (peripheral vascular disease)

• Large waist measurement — greater than 40 inches (for men) — greater than 35 inches (for women)

• developing type 2 diabetes

• having problems after angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries) • having problems after bypass surgery

• Low good (HDL) cholesterol — under 40 mg/dl (for men) — under 50 mg/dl (for women)

Did you know?

• Blood pressure in excess of 130/85

About 1 out of 4 American adults and as many as 40% of adults over the age of 40 have Metabolic Syndrome. You may also hear it called: Syndrome X, insulin resistance syndrome, the deadly quartet or dysmetabolic syndrome.

• Fasting blood sugar (glucose) above 110 mg/dl (your body may not be able to use sugar efficiently) The main causes of the syndrome are being overweight (or obese), not being physically active and having a family history of the above factors.

Learning About Mitral Valve Prolapse MVP is a common heart valve problem that affects about 2% of the population. The mitral valve is the valve between the heart’s top left chamber (atrium) and the bottom left chamber (ventricle). This valve opens and closes to allow blood to flow from the atrium into the ventricle. Then the blood is pumped out to the rest of the body.

left atrium mitral valve left ventricle

If the mitral valve prolapses, it does not close the way it should. This may let blood leak back into the atrium when your heart pumps rather than pumping it out to your body. The cause of MVP is unknown, but it seems to be inherited (runs in families). It is often found with other heart, thyroid, blood and muscular disorders. It was once thought to be more common in women than in men. However, recent studies have found that it happens the same in men and women.

• Fatigue: feeling tired all the time for no reason at all • Shortness of breath with activity

Often, MVP symptoms don’t cause any problems. But they may upset you if you don’t know what to expect.

After your heart attack, you may worry that you and your sex life will never be the same. Your partner may feel the same way. Sex is an important part of life –a heart attack shouldn’t change that. If your doctor has given the OK that you can climb 2 flights of stairs, you should be able to have sex. In fact, most people are able to resume sexual activity within weeks after a heart attack. That is not so far away.

Metabolic Syndrome What it is

Why it is important

The definition of metabolic syndrome is hard to give. But, it means you have 3 of these 5 risk factors:

If you have the syndrome, you are at a higher risk of: • coronary artery disease • stroke • PVD (peripheral vascular disease)

• Large waist measurement — greater than 40 inches (for men) — greater than 35 inches (for women)

• developing type 2 diabetes

• having problems after angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries) • having problems after bypass surgery

• Low good (HDL) cholesterol — under 40 mg/dl (for men) — under 50 mg/dl (for women)

Did you know?

• Blood pressure in excess of 130/85

item 572–Diabetes and Dental Care*

Diabetes Complications Most of the food you eat is turned into glucose (sugar) for your body to use for energy. To get into your cells, glucose needs the help of a hormone called insulin. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin (Type 1 diabetes) or can’t use its own insulin well (Type 2 diabetes).

Keeping your blood glucose in a healthy range is the best way to avoid health problems.

Over years, diabetes can cause: • heart disease

• kidney disease

• stroke

• nerve damage

• skin infections

• foot infections (can lead to amputation)

• gum disease

$10.50 8th grade reading level Large Print $14.50

Preventing health problems Keeping your blood glucose in a healthy range helps prevent or delay problems caused by diabetes. To do this, you need to keep a balance between: • what you eat and drink • how much you exercise • the diabetes medicine(s) you take, and • regular blood glucose monitoring

Healthy eating

To keep your diabetes under control, you need to keep your blood glucose in a healthy range. The keys to doing this are:

You don’t have to go on a strange diet because you have diabetes. But you do need to follow a healthy meal plan. A healthy meal plan is very much the same for people with or without diabetes. It will help you keep your blood glucose in a good range. You can create a healthy meal plan by making good choices about what you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat.

• choose a healthy meal plan • take your diabetes medicine(s) as prescribed • be physically active • check your blood glucose regularly

Diabetes and Heart Disease Diabetes can have some serious long-term effects (complications) on your whole body. Taking good care of yourself and keeping tight control of your blood sugar can help prevent or reduce these effects.

About heart disease

It is caused in part by too much cholesterol and plaque (fatty deposits) building up in your blood vessels and blocking blood flow.

The connection to diabetes You are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (like a heart attack or stroke) than someone who does not have diabetes. This is due, in part, to:

About cholesterol

• insulin resistance

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that occurs naturally in your blood. It helps carry fats through your blood vessels. Your blood makes all the cholesterol it needs, but you also eat it in some foods. To help prevent or treat heart disease, you need to know your cholesterol levels. Talk with your doctor about having your blood cholesterol levels checked and about what these levels should be, based upon your risk factors and family health history.

Glucose (sugar) is the body’s main source of energy. You get most of the glucose you need from carbohydrates (sugars and starches) that you eat. As you digest your food, glucose is absorbed into the blood and sent to all your cells. Sometimes, the level of glucose in your blood goes too low. This is called hypoglycemia or low blood glucose. It can happen when you don’t manage your diabetes. With low blood glucose, you don’t have enough energy.

Tearpads Change your pouch on a regular schedule. Your WOC (Wound Ostomy Continence) nurse can help you come up with a schedule that works for you. As a rule, you should change your pouch every 3-7 days. If you find a leak or if your skin begins to burn or itch, change your pouch right away.

Peristomal skin care Any opening on your skin raises your risk for infection. So keep your stoma and the skin around it clean.

Tips to remember

The signs of skin irritation

•

The best time to change your pouch is before you eat or drink anything for the day.

Every time you change your pouch check your stoma and skin for any signs of irritation:

•

When changing your pouch, leave a little air in it to help keep it from sticking to the moist stoma. After changing your pouch, wait an hour before showering.

•

If your pouch does not stick well, or it leaks, talk to your WOC nurse about getting a better pouch seal.

• fever above 101°F (38.3°C) by mouth • stinging when sealant is put on • pain in your abdomen (belly) If you notice any signs of irritation or infection, call your doctor or WOC nurse right away.

2. Point the bottom of your pouch into the toilet. Let the stool drain into the toilet. 3. Clean the tail end of the pouch with toilet paper or a baby wipe. 4. If you are concerned about odor, put mouthwash or deodorant into the pouch. 5. Uncuff the bottom of the pouch, close and clamp it. Make sure it is sealed.

If you have any questions or concerns about caring for your ostomy, talk to your doctor or WOC (Wound Ostomy Continence) nurse.

Tips • To make emptying easier, use 1/2 tsp of

Peristomal Skin Care

These signs may include: • changes in the color or size of your stoma • the skin around your stoma feeling warm to the touch

stoma

What to do If you have any signs that your peristomal skin is irritated, follow these steps:

2. Repeat these steps (powder then sealant) 1 or 2 times to form a crust if the skin is raw. Make sure the last layer is a sealant—not a powder. Once the crust is dry, apply your pouch barrier. You can use a hair dryer on a low or cool setting to dry your skin.

1. Apply skin barrier powder if your WOC nurse said it is OK. Seal in the powder with a skin sealant in “wipe-on” or spray form, or wet your finger with water to apply. Skin sealants in “wipe-on” form come with and without alcohol. It’s OK to use a skin sealant with alcohol when your skin is clear or only a little red. When your skin is raw or very red use the skin sealant without alcohol to avoid burning your skin. Copyright © 2002 Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc. DO NOT DUPLICATE.

3. Call your WOC nurse if your skin has not improved the next time you change your pouch. Your nurse may want you to use some other treatment for skin problems.

Your Urostomy The urinary system

Why a urostomy?

The air you breathe and the food you eat provide energy for your cells to do their jobs. As the cells use food and oxygen to work, they create waste. This waste is passed from your cells into your blood. Your blood carries this waste to the kidneys. In addition to waste, your blood carries things your body needs (like oxygen, water, salt and sugar). The kidneys act as filters. They help the body keep the things it needs and get rid of the things it does not need (like waste). While in the kidneys, waste is turned into a liquid (urine). From your kidneys, urine drains into your bladder. It is stored in the bladder until your body is ready to release it.

Because of a disease, birth defect or damage to your bladder, it no longer works the way it should. To allow your body to get rid of urine, a surgically created opening, called a urostomy, is made to allow urine to bypass the bladder. The opening on your belly is called a stoma. Urine will pass out of your body through the stoma and into a pouch.

tress Relief Techniques

Your goal is to deal with stress in a positive and healthy way so you can control it and not let it control you. If many different things cause stress for you, choose one to deal with first. Once you have a handle on it, move on to the next one. These tips may help:

• Avoid quick fixes – drugs, alcohol, tobacco, unhealthy foods and caffeine are all quick ways to reduce stress. They don’t work. Once the effects wear off, your stress is still there. • Eat healthy foods – choose more fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains and less fatty and salty foods.

item 597–Learning About Stress

$10.50 pad of 50 sheets • 5th grade reading level double-sided

• Be positive – when times get tough, don’t focus on negative things. They are only temporary and will pass. Instead, have a positive approach to the situation. • Exercise – when you exercise your body releases chemicals that are natural antidepressants. It helps you feel refreshed and motivated. Make time to go to the gym several days a week or do some type of exercise at home. • Make time for the things you enjoy – think about what you enjoy doing most. Is it listening to music, reading or spending time with a pet? Make time for it. • Spend time with friends and family – make time for the important people in your life. Your loved ones can help lift your spirits when you are feeling down. • Talk to a professional – “sharing your stress” with a therapist may help. Talking about your problems is a good way to get it out of your system. Once you share your problems, they won’t seem as heavy.

item 599–Stress Management

$14.50 pad of 50 sheets • 5th grade reading level four-sided • 11 x 17" folded

• Get plenty of rest – you need a good night’s sleep to “re-charge” your batteries. Get to bed at a decent hour and set a good sleep pattern. You will feel refreshed and ready to start the next day. • Learn to relax – Deep breathing exercise, yoga, massage and the 60-second stress relief exercise on the following page may help.

Brain Attack

Mapping Out Early Recovery From Stroke What is a stroke, intensive care, hospital stay, helping the stroke survivor in bed, understanding your feelings, choosing care after discharge.

Sample page from Brain Attack, item 186A

Types of stroke:

Not all strokes are alike. The type of stroke depends on how it happens:

Embolism

Ischemic (too little blood flow):

embolism Sometimes the heart or blood vessels in the neck release a blood clot that travels through arteries. Clots can float through big arteries with no problem. If a clot tries to pass through small arteries in the brain, it gets stuck and blocks the flow of blood. This type of stroke is called a cerebral embolism. One type of embolism is a lacunar stroke.

item 186A

$3.50 each • 6th grade reading level

clot

neck blood vessel

Thrombosis

thrombosis Another type of stroke happens when a brain artery clogs up. Fatty buildup (plaque) collects inside an artery wall. As blood flows through the artery, it sticks to the plaque’s rough edges and builds up a clot. Over time, this can build a dam in the artery that stops blood flow. Brain cells on the other side can’t get oxygen and die.

hemorrhage A hemorrhage happens when a blood vessel in the brain breaks open. Blood spills out and damages the brain cells near the injured blood vessel. The broken vessel no longer carries blood, and further brain damage results.

Stroke: Taking Action

Strokes kill twice as many women each year as breast cancer. 61% of those who die from strokes are women, even though more men suffer from strokes. Women over 30 who smoke and take high-estrogen birth control pills have a stroke risk 22 times higher than average.

• Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the largest cause of disability in the United States. • Early treatment can prevent or lessen the damage in 4 out of 5 strokes.

If you have any of the above signs or see them in someone else, call 911 or go to the hospital right away.

• 50% of the people between the ages of 35 and 64 who die of stroke are smokers.

Early emergency treatment can prevent or lessen brain damage.

QUICK

• Controlling high blood pressure is often very helpful in preventing a stroke.

• Nearly 1/ 3 of all stroke victims will have another stroke within 5 years.

Tearpads (81/2 x 11", double-sided, unless indicated otherwise Controlling Blood Pressure with Diet The DASH food plan can help control your blood pressure.

What’s so important about blood pressure?

The DASH food plan gives you lots of fruit, vegetable and low-fat dairy choices, and helps you cut down on fat and cholesterol. Here are some tips for using the DASH plan:

• High blood pressure raises your risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke and many other conditions. If you lower your blood pressure (even by only a few points), you will reduce your risk of these.

• Make grains (like pasta, rice and beans) and vegetables the center of your meals.

• Blood pressure tends to go up as you get older. Controlling your blood pressure now (even if it isn’t high) can prevent future health problems.

• Eat smaller servings of meat. • Watch out for fatty foods like oil, margarine, butter and salad dressing. Use very little of these, or use low-fat or nonfat types.

Here are some other ways to control your blood pressure:

• Have fruits and fruit juices for desserts and snacks. If you eat foods like ice cream, cookies and potato chips, choose the low-fat, low-sugar ones.

• Don’t have more than 2,300 mg of sodium a day. (One level teaspoon of salt has about 2,000 mg of sodium.)

• Keep a food diary. Writing down what you eat and drink will help you keep track of your food plan. • Don’t be too hard on yourself if you slip up.

• If you drink alcohol, don’t have more than 1-2 servings a day (1 serving = 1 1/ 2 oz of 80 proof liquor or 5 oz of wine or 12 oz of beer). • Talk to your doctor before you stop taking your blood pressure medicine or if you plan to take any other medicines.

My blood pressure goal is:

• Don’t smoke.

Diabetes & Healthy Food Choices Diabetes and blood glucose

Most of the foods you eat and drink are turned into blood glucose (sugar). When you have diabetes, your body doesn’t control your blood glucose the way it should. Your glucose often gets too high.

before meals: _____ to _____ 2 hours after meals: _____ to _____ at bedtime: _____ to _____

Healthy eating

To keep your diabetes under control, you need to keep your blood glucose in a healthy range. The keys to doing this are:

• choose a healthy meal plan • take your diabetes medicine(s) as prescribed • be physically active • check your blood glucose regularly

Here are some tips to help you make these choices: • Keep track of the carbohydrate foods you eat. • Cut down on fatty foods. • Know the serving sizes of the foods you eat. • Eat regularly. (Skipping meals will make your blood glucose go too low.)

Work with a registered dietitian (RD) to make a meal plan that helps you keep your blood glucose in a healthy range.

Learning About Fats All fats are mixtures of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. There are 4 basic kinds of fats: • Saturated fats

• Polyunsaturated fats

• Monounsaturated fats

• Trans fats

About saturated fats Saturated fats mainly come from animal products— meat, poultry and whole-milk dairy products. But, three vegetable oils are also mostly saturated fat—coconut, palm and palm kernel oils.

About unsaturated fats Unsaturated fats mainly come from plants and fish. They are either monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. The monounsaturated fats come from nuts (except walnuts) and 4 oils— olive, canola, peanut and avocado.

A diet high in saturated fats can raise total blood and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. This increases your risk for heart disease.

The polyunsaturated fats come from corn, safflower and sesame oils, fish and walnuts. Unsaturated fats can actually help in lowering your blood cholesterol levels.

Trans fats Trans fats are found in small amounts in beef and dairy products. Man-made trans fats are created when hydrogen is added (hydrogenated) to vegetable oils. This helps improve the texture and flavor while extending the shelf life of the item. Man-made trans fats are found in most package foods, margarines, vegetable shortenings and food items which contain margarine and vegetable shortenings. Look for trans fat information on food labels.

It is also found in all the foods you eat that come from animals. Plants (such as fruits, vegetables and soy products) do not contain cholesterol. Although cholesterol does a lot of good things in your body, you do not need to eat cholesterol in food. Your body can make all the cholesterol it needs from the fats you eat. Because of this, most experts now say you should eat less than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day. But, for some, this may be too much. Having too much cholesterol in your diet can lead to high blood cholesterol levels.

Blood cholesterol is made up of good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol. The bad cholesterol can clog up your arteries by building up within the walls. This narrows your blood vessels and can lead to atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries. Narrowed arteries reduce the blood flow (oxygen and nutrients) to your heart and body. This can lead to a heart attack or a stroke. High blood cholesterol levels are very unsafe when combined with these other risk factors for heart disease: artery

Breast Self-Exam

A word about finding breast cancer

Finding it early

In most cases, you have no pain with breast cancer. You may have no symptoms at all. But as breast cells change from normal to abnormal, they grow out of control. Over time they form a lump or tumor.

Breast self exams can be helpful if used along with mammograms and breast exams done by your doctor. So your monthly breast exam is a few minutes well spent.

lump

If a lump is found early (before it spreads to other areas in your body) the chance of removing all the cancer cells is much better. Two ways to check for lumps or other changes in your breast are to: • do a self exam every month

These are the things you should look for: • a lump in your breast or armpit • changes to your breast skin like puckering, dimpling or dry, scaly places

• have a clinical exam by your doctor every year If a lump or changes are detected, a mammogram (x-ray of your breast) may be needed. Copyright © 2003-2006 Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc. DO NOT DUPLICATE.

Do your breast check at the same time each month. If you still have menstrual periods, the best time to do a breast check is 2 or 3 days after your period ends. If you don’t have periods, pick a day that will be easy for you to remember (such as the first or last day of the month).

• fluid or bleeding from your nipple • indented nipple • any other change

Pain Control

How to control pain

What you can do: • Take your pain medicine when you should or follow the alternative treatment you were given.

If you treat pain early, you will most likely get faster relief and more control over it. If the pain medicine or treatment you have been given is not controlling your pain, let your doctor or nurse know. The medicine, dosage or treatment may need to be changed.

• Explain the type of pain you have (dull, sharp, cramp, stabbing, constant, on and off, etc.).

A metered dose inhaler (MDI) A metered dose inhaler (MDI) is a small hand-held device that allows your child to breathe in a fine mist of medicine. The inhaler is set to give a premeasured dose of medicine with each puff. Your doctor will tell you how many puffs your child should take.

If your child is 5 or younger, he/she may need to use a mask with the spacer/holding chamber. The doctor, nurse, pharmacist or therapist will show your child how to use the inhaler. Learn the steps on the back of this sheet so you can help your child follow them.

A median sternotomy (chest) incision is used for the ASD repair. In some cases a submammary (beneath the breasts) incision is offered.

hole between chambers

Pediatric Cardiology Teaching Materials

The hole allows the red and blue blood to mix together. The red blood from the high pressured left side of the heart goes across the hole to the lower pressured right side. This increases the work load of the right side of the heart. Also, red blood goes back to the lungs from the right side of the heart. Over time there can be damage to the lungs from too much blood.

Subjects are listed on page 38

Problem

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)

There is a hole between the top two chambers of the heart. The hole can be high, in the middle or low in the wall separating the chambers.

Learning to Use a Cane A cane is designed to support only 20–25% of your body weight. It does the work for your weak leg. It should be hip height, with your wrist straight and your elbow slightly bent (30 degrees).

1. Hold your cane in one hand and the handrail with your other. Support your weight evenly between the two. If there’s no handrail, stand with your weight on both legs. 2. Step up with your strong leg. Then, bring up your weak leg and cane.

2. While supporting your weight on your strong leg, move the cane and your weak leg 4–6 inches in front of you.

• Go slowly. Stop and rest when you’re tired. • You may find a close-fitting glove (like a golf glove) will prevent blisters on your hand.

• Make a clear path in your home. Remove all throw rugs, and make sure cords are out of the way.

• Try not to use escalators or go through revolving doors. Look for handicapped exits or stairs.

• Use a fanny pack or backpack instead of a shoulder bag.

$7.00 each Falling Problems In the U.S., almost one-third of those over age 65 fall each year. Some falls may be so bad that you are no longer mobile (able to get up and walk). Bone fractures, caused by falling, can lead to blood clots, pneumonia or even death.

item 280–Cane Use

There may be things around your home that might increase your risk of falling. You may not think about some of these as being a cause: • poorly lit rooms or walkways • pets that walk in front of you • slippery or wet floors • uneven surfaces • electrical cords where you walk • clutter in the floor • throw rugs

The reasons some people fall are because they: • are frail • can’t react quickly • have poor vision or hearing

side effects, such as dizziness and blurred vision

To help yourself, look around your house and see if there are things that might put you at risk. Think about your health and physical fitness. Ask your doctor if any of your medicines could make you clumsy or sleepy. If you have tingling, burning or pain in your legs or feet, tell your doctor. This may be peripheral neuropathy—the loss of feeling due to nerve damage—since about 20% of those over 65 have this condition. Review the prevention tips on the other side.

Medicine Safety and You Health care providers are working to make the health care system safer for you. An important member of that health care team is you. As a member, the best thing you can do is be involved in decisions about your health care. This is the best way you can help prevent medical errors.

Medicine safety tips: Be sure every doctor and nurse you see knows what medicines you take. This would include:

✔ over-the-counter medicine (even aspirin)

Be sure your doctor knows about any allergies or bad reactions you have had to any medicine. It is a good idea to have this written down. That’s in case a family member has to give your doctor and nurse this information. (Poison Control 1-800-222-1222)

✔ vitamins and other supplements

If you are given a prescription, make sure you know:

✔ all prescription medicine

✔ any herbal products Keep a list of your medicines and take it with you when you have a doctor’s appointment. Or take all the medicines with you so you can discuss them with your doctor. He or she may not know the contents in some vitamins, supplements or herbal remedies. Having the actual bottle(s) can give this information.

✔ what it is ✔ what it is for (why you take it) ✔ how you should take it (with food, etc.) ✔ how often to take it ✔ how long to take it (use the chart on the back) Be sure you can read the handwriting on the prescription. If you can’t read it, the pharmacist may have a hard time too. Product # 485 Copyright © 2002-2008 Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc. DO NOT DUPLICATE.

Controlled coughing

Check for infection

Thick, sticky mucus can cause shortness of breath, wheezing, hacking coughs and infection. To keep mucus thin, drink lots of water or other caffeine-free fluids each day. For most people, this means drinking 8–16 cups of water or other fluids a day.

• When you cough up mucus, spit it into a tissue, and check the color. If it is yellow or green, you may have an infection.

• The mucus you cough up is filled with bacteria. Use tissues to catch it. Wash your hands after you throw away the tissues.

Coughing helps your lungs get rid of mucus. Talk to your doctor before taking any cough medicine.

Learning About Dry Powder Inhalers (DPI) If you have asthma or other breathing problems, you may use an inhaler. Inhalers are used to get bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory medicines into your lungs. These medicines help prevent attacks, but they will not help during an attack. A metered dose inhaler (MDI) is a sprayer that shoots a fine mist of medicine into your mouth and down your windpipe into your lungs. A dry powder inhaler (DPI) releases the powder medicine into your mouth. Then you have to take a deep breath to get the medicine into your lungs.

The four DPIs most often used are: ▲

A Turbuhaler® contains the powder medicine and delivers a fine powder with each use.

▲

A Rotahaler® uses capsules of powder medicine, which you put in each time you use it.

▲

A Diskhaler® uses a powder medicine in a sealed disk that is pierced to release the powder when you use it.

▲

A Diskus® holds the medicine and has a built in counter. It is often used by pediatric patients.

How it helps When you have COPD, your lungs are better at bringing air in than letting it out. This causes stale air to get trapped in your lungs so you can’t take a deep breath. This can make you short of breath or cause tightness in your chest. When you are having trouble taking breaths, breathing faster will not help. Pursed lip breathing will help because it slows down your breathing to let your damaged lungs work better.

How to do it

Product # 426

item 447–Learning about RSV in Children*

$10.50 • 8th grade reading level

Step #1 Breathe in

item 591–Oxygen Concentrator

2. Purse your lips as if you were going to whistle. 3. Breathe out (exhale) gently through your pursed lips for 4 slow counts. (Exhale twice as slowly as you inhale.) Let the air escape naturally. Step #3 Don’t force the air out of your lungs. Breathe out 4. Keep doing pursed lip breathing until you are not short of breath.

Practice pursed lip breathing now. When you feel short of breath, it will help you stay calm and return to normal breathing.

Controlled coughing (planned coughing sessions) can help you get the mucus out of your lungs so you can breathe better. It is best to do these sessions when you are not already coughing and when your mucus is thin enough to be coughed up. See the back of this sheet to learn how to do controlled coughing. Always do it after taking your inhaled bronchodilator.

Some people need to limit their fluids. Ask your health care provider how much fluid is right for you.

acts About Tobacco Use Tobacco use is the #1 preventable cause of death and disability in the world. Each year, more than 400,000 adults die from tobacco-related diseases.

reathe better, sleep better

Nicotine (a drug found in tobacco products) is highly addictive. It is absorbed quickly in the lungs from tobacco smoke. It is also absorbed quickly when tobacco is chewed.

When you take nicotine in your body by smoking or chewing tobacco, you get a quick “kick”. This “kick” is caused by your body’s release of a hormone that causes a sudden release of glucose (sugar). It is then followed by depression and fatigue, which make you crave more nicotine. A vicious cycle occurs.

Being addicted to nicotine causes withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop using it. It is much the same as cocaine and other addictive drugs. Nicotine in tobacco products can make you sick. It makes your heart beat faster, increases your breathing rate, blood pressure and causes your body to use more oxygen. Copyright © 2002-2007 Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc. DO NOT DUPLICATE.

Being honest about why you use tobacco can tell you what you need to work on for recovery. For example, do you use tobacco:

• depression

• to get you going in the morning and give you a boost during the day?

• anger

• have a way to reward yourself for each day you succeed

• anxiety

• because you like the feel of holding a cigarette or cigar?

• tension

• to relax and feel good?

• restless feelings

• for stress relief?

• trouble concentrating

• what you eat or drink

Plan before you quit

Talk with your doctor about NRT. Some aids you can get without a prescription, but most require one. There are some medicines that may interact with a nicotine aid and cause worse problems for you. Your doctor knows your medical history and can help you decide which aid is best for you to use.

Nicotine - the addiction

Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. It is much like cocaine or heroin in that respect. So, “giving up” nicotine can be hard. But, the more you know about withdrawal, recovery and relapses, the easier it might be for you to “kick the habit.”

Giving up tobacco is not easy. The nicotine in cigarettes and other tobacco products is addictive. When you use tobacco, your body thinks it needs nicotine and it becomes habit forming. Giving up tobacco means making a plan and sticking to it.

The goal of NRT is to help you give up tobacco use slowly over time. It helps you deal with withdrawal and nicotine cravings. The aids give you a small amount of nicotine to help you taper off. As a result, you should not use tobacco when you are using NRT.

Nic o Patctti Ni c Pa otin tc e h

When it is used all the time, levels of nicotine add up in your body during the day and stay overnight. So you feel the effects of nicotine 24 hours a day.

our Quit Plan

Tobacco use is the #1 preventable cause of death and disability in the world. If you are like many others, you most likely want to quit using it. But, quitting is easier said than done. All tobacco products contain nicotine, an addictive drug. You may need help in “giving up” nicotine. If so, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) may help. This uses one or more aids to help you stop using tobacco.

Cuando usted está embarazada, su cuerpo necesita mucha más insulina de la habitual. Si su cuerpo no puede producir esta insulina adicional, el azúcar permanece en su sangre y empieza a acumularse. Con el paso del tiempo, demasiada azúcar en su sangre puede causarle problemas a usted y a su bebé. Este tipo de diabetes (diabetes gestacional) usualmente se manifiesta entre la semana 24 y la semana 28 del embarazo.

La Diabetes Gestacional Cuando usted come, algunos alimentos (carbohidratos) se descomponen en glucosa (o azúcar). El azúcar fluye a través de su sangre y a las células de su cuerpo suministrándole la energía que usted necesita cada día. Pero el azúcar no puede penetrar en sus células sin la ayuda de la insulina, una hormona fabricada por el páncreas.

Chlamydia

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)*

Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD in the U.S. Three million new cases occur each year. It is caused by bacteria (germs). The bacteria can get into the moist linings of the body (like the penis, vagina, throat and rectum) during sexual activity. Sexual activity includes all forms of having sex (vaginal, oral and anal). The more people you have sex with, the more likely you are to get the germs. A chlamydia infection can increase your risk for getting HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) and other STDs.

Arterial Disease

What it is

Symptoms

When blood flow to the arteries in your legs and feet is blocked by plaque (fatty buildup), your legs and feet have trouble getting the oxygen and nutrients they need. This is called arterial disease.

“Intermittent claudication” is the most common symptom. This is when you feel a pain, ache, cramp or tired feeling in your calf, foot, thigh, hip or buttocks while walking or doing exercise. These feelings usually go away quickly when you stop your activity, but come back if you start again.

Learning About Fats All fats are mixtures of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. There are 4 basic kinds of fats:

$10.50 8th grade

• Saturated fats

• Polyunsaturated fats

• Monounsaturated fats

• Trans fats

About saturated fats

About unsaturated fats

Saturated fats mainly come from animal products— meat, poultry and whole-milk dairy products. But, three vegetable oils are also mostly saturated fat—coconut, palm and palm kernel oils.

reading level

$7.00 each

Unsaturated fats mainly come from plants and fish. They are either monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. The monounsaturated fats come from nuts (except walnuts) and 4 oils— olive, canola, peanut and avocado. The polyunsaturated fats come from corn, safflower and sesame oils, fish and walnuts.

A diet high in saturated fats can raise total blood and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. This increases your risk for heart disease.

item 287–Weight Management*

Unsaturated fats can actually help in lowering your blood cholesterol levels.

Trans fats

$10.50 6th grade reading level

Trans fats are found in small amounts in beef and dairy products. Man-made trans fats are created when hydrogen is added (hydrogenated) to vegetable oils. This helps improve the texture and flavor while extending the shelf life of the item. Man-made trans fats are found in most package foods, margarines, vegetable shortenings and food items which contain margarine and vegetable shortenings. Look for trans fat information on food labels. Trans fats raise bad (LDL) cholesterol and lower good (HDL) cholesterol and should be limited.

Limit your serving sizes.

HDL cholesterol is called “good cholesterol” because it picks up and removes some of the LDL as it goes through your blood vessels. But, if the number of LDL is too high, the HDL cannot gather all of them and your blood vessels start to clog up. This is CAD.

item 494–Obesity Treatment

ONLY

Choose foods high in fiber.

Cut back on snacks. If you do snack, make it fresh fruit or air-popped popcorn (without salt or butter).

LDL cholesterol is called “bad cholesterol” because it tends to build up in arteries as fatty clumps (plaque). When this happens, your blood vessels get clogged up and don’t allow as much blood and oxygen through.

Choose foods low in calories and saturated fat.

LDL (low density lipoprotein) Triglycerides (a form of fat) Lipoprotiens are made up of fats (lipids) and proteins. Cholesterol attaches to proteins in your blood and moves along with these lipoproteins.

If you are at risk for CAD, your old diet may not be right for you. Changing your diet, controlling your weight and doing more exercise are the first steps in treating high blood cholesterol. The first goal is to reduce your “bad” cholesterol levels. But this goal is not a short-term “diet”, it is a permanent change in the way you eat.

Your blood cholesterol level is made up of blood fats, including:

A change in your diet

High blood cholesterol is the main cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance in your blood. It helps carry fats through your blood vessels. Your body can make all it needs, but you also get it in some foods you eat.
