A: It depends on what type of procedure he is undergoing, as open heart surgery is a broad term that just states that the surgery will be done via open incision and not laproscopically or by some other method, on the heart.If it some type of bypass surgery, then it depends on the surgeon and the tools and techniques which they have available to them as well as how many bypasses need to be performed, as to how long the surgery will last. If it is something more esoteric or extensive, like a heart transplant, then the time would be even longer than most of the above.It also depends a lot on the patient and how the surgery goes. If the surgery goes textbook with no complications then you could just go off of the normal steps, but their are always occasions where the surgeries do not go textbook and complications (sometimes small and sometimes large) arrise. Other facors such as age, overall health and other medical conditions will also impact the direction of the surgery.Before the surgery (pre-op) usually the patient has not eaten or drank anything for at least 6-8 hours and some are administered antacids and other GI drugs to help reduce any stomach issues that may arrise from the general anesthesia. They will start an IV in pre-op and will usually go ahead and shave the chest area and disinfect it with isopropanol and providion iodine. Then it may be covered until the patient is taken into the OR. Depending on the patient, sometimes a sedative is administered before taking them into the OR as well, just to help calm them down, especially in the event of a patient who is worrying themself into a panic attack, causing their BP and heart rate to rise.Simplistcally, the patient is put under general anesthesia which is a combination of IV drugs and halogenated gasses which are pumped into the lungs. The patient will be hooked up to IV which will infuse medications and fluids. In most cases, antibiotics are also administered durring the procedure as a precautionary measure (especially in the case of surgery being performed via open incision). The patient will also be intabated and hooked up to artificial respiration (along with the gasses being pumped into their lungs to sustain them in the necessary state of conciousness).At this point the patient will be disinfected again, and for open heart surgery, will usually be covered with a surgical covering which has anti-microbial agents in it (just to help and keep the operating area as aseptic as possible). At this point the surgeon will go ahead and open, as long as all systems are a go (anthesthesia, vitals, ect.). Once the incision is made, then they have to go ahead and cut through the sternum and spread the rib cage, so that they can open the surgical field to expose the heart. They will be assited in these surgeries by other OR staff (surgical techs, nurses, other doctors, ect.) with things such as keeping te field clear (irrigation, clamping, ect.) so that the surgeon can see. At this point it depends on what exactly is being done as to what goes down next, and also how the surgery is going and how the patient has responded to the opening process. In many cases of open heart surgery, the patient is hooked up to a bypass machine, which will take over the function of their heart, while the surgeon is working on it.Obviously it is a lot more complex than this, and there is a lot going on where multiple people are having to monitor and do multiple different tasks to make sure that the surgery is a success.I would suggest going online and watching some video of an open heart surgery, and then you can see the process with your own eyes and get a better feel for what it is like.Good luck to your grandfather and to you in school.

How do you go on after losing your Father??

Q: I am 24 years old from Montreal, I married an American and have been immigrating for the last 2 years roughly…This February my Daddio wanted to meet in Las Vegas for a little vacation to meet my husband for we only had a civil ceremony. On the last day of our trip we were walking down the sidewalk when my dad collapsed…we rushed him to EMERGENCY, where they preformed many cardiac tests and confirmed that my dad needed open heart surgery the next day…My poor dad was scared shitless. He had the surgery and was recovering wonderfully when he had a major complication and suffered another heart attack, he ended up on life support and died 2 days later while holding my hand. Not only was this a sudden death, but for me it was traumatizing. I really miss him, I feel like I lost my best friend. I am so lonely, and feel like a peice of my heart is gone. Has anyone ever lost anyone they loved? How have you dealt with/coped with/moved on? Do you think we will ever see them again?

A: I lost my dad over the Christmas period. His funeral was on Christmas eve. It was a harrowing time, for obvious reasons. My dad and I although having a tumultuous relationship were best buddies at the end.The things I did to help myself through this was.I did a memorial tribute to him on the net. With all the great photo’s I could find. I needed to get the picture of him laying so cold out of my head. I also opened a guest book so people could comment on funny stories or other stories about him.I joined Otrib and wrote about it there for a while.I kept a piece of his clothing to smell when I missed him.I have his ashes at home and yes, I do hug them now and then.But most of all, please believe me, he is there with you now. I have too much evidence to shirk off the afterlife. Our parents have just changed “shape” they haven’t gone forever, and yes you will see him again.I’m am so sorry for your tragic loss.
