Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Please ask what precautions should be noted in the nursing care of cardiogenic shock?Doctor's answer:
27-year-old young man, due to poor heart condition, experienced recurrent cardiogenic shock, which is the most severe form of cardiac dysfunction. The recurrence suggests the possibility of organic heart disease. Currently, he is in the process of full recovery. It is important to avoid exercise and increase activity, as physical activity may further deteriorate cardiac function. Additionally, it is necessary to prevent overeating and constipation, as straining during bowel movements can be harmful. If bed rest is required, it is essential to perform regular leg lifts and massage the limbs.
