New Approach to Pain Management After Heart Valve Surgery: Patient Insights with Dr. Marc Gerdisch

https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - A common concern for patients before-and-after heart surgery is pain management. Regardless of whether a patient is scheduled for a sternotomy, a minimally-invasive operation, or a transcatheter therapy, patients want to learn about and prepare for the pain they may experience. For these reasons, we interviewed Dr. Marc Gerdisch, the Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Franciscan Health, who has performed over 4,000 heart valve operations. Doctor Gerdisch and his team has developed a very unique "Rapid Recovery Protocol" exclusively for cardiac patients to minimize (and eliminate) pain after heart surgery. Key patient questions answered in this video include: 1. What is the Rapid Recovery Protocol program? How does the Rapid Recovery Protocol help patients manage pain? 2. Which types of heart valve surgery (sternotomy, minimally invasive, transcatheter, TAVR) is the Rapid Recovery Protocol designed for? 3. How has the "Opioid Crisis" impacted pain management for patients? 4. What is the benefit of nerve blocks and rigid sternal fixation for managing pain after cardiac surgery? 5. How is the Rapid Recovery Protocol enhancing the mobility of patients after surgery? 7. What impact is the Rapid Recovery Protocol having on frail patients who typically need to stay at extended care facilities after surgery? 8. What are the pain management success stories that Dr. Gerdisch has seen in patients specific to golf, tennis, baseball and softball?
