00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:14.860
You

2
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:38.160
The

3
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:41.740
Trip along the corridor to the operating room may be terrifying

4
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.120
Particularly to a child who has no idea about what is going to happen

5
00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:53.180
For a number of years we had children's Memorial Hospital have been preparing children for cardiac catheterization

6
00:00:53.180 --> 00:00:59.280
And various surgical procedures with the use of puppets and models of the equipment that the child will encounter

7
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:08.380
This program is operated by volunteers who are trained in a variety of techniques designed to coincide as closely as possible

8
00:01:08.380 --> 00:01:11.460
With the experience a particular child will undergo

9
00:01:14.740 --> 00:01:17.080
Hi, Amy, hi, how are you today?

10
00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:23.280
I'm the puppet lady. You know why they call me that I have a whole cart full of puppets

11
00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:26.680
But I want to go over with you about your operation tomorrow

How are you doing?

21
00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:10.160
Okay, good tomorrow. The nurse is going to come in and say good morning. Amy. How are you feeling?

23
00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:16.900
Today is a special day because you're going to have your heart surgery today

24
00:02:16.900 --> 00:02:20.640
And I'm gonna take off that hospital down that you have on

25
00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:25.040
Nice rubber dub rubber dub bed there

26
00:02:25.880 --> 00:02:30.480
I'm going to put you in this clean fresh white hospital gown

27
00:02:33.260 --> 00:02:40.840
Tie it around your neck and she's gonna say Amy this morning. I'm not going to give you any

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.640
Breakfast no breakfast this morning. No breakfast not any

29
00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:48.360
No

30
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:55.500
Yeah, when they're ready for you in the operating room don't crawl down and say already for Amy

31
00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:58.340
And the nurse will come in

32
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:06.940
And she'll say okay Amy, will you flip over on your bed now? This isn't a real shot. It's just a pretend shot, okay?

33
00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:09.620
And the nurse will say you flip over Amy

34
00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:13.220
And she'll take this kind of smelly alcohol pad

35
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.060
She'll clean you off

36
00:03:16.700 --> 00:03:18.460
And she'll give you a little shot

37
00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:25.700
That wasn't bad was it no just pinch us for a minute now this shot is going to make Amy feel

38
00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:27.180
sleepy

39
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.060
Sleepy and a little bit thirsty

40
00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:37.040
But you're not gonna have any breakfast and you're not going to have anything to drink until it's all over okay

41
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:38.800
Okay

42
00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:44.780
There's Amy lying in bed feeling kind of sleepy and in comes the nurse

43
00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:50.560
Who looks like this have you seen any nurses that look like this around the hospital?

44
00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:53.300
She's our surgery nurse

45
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.760
She has a white mask and a white gauze cap

46
00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:01.300
She's gonna come in with a rolling cart to take you down to surgery

47
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.060
She pushes the card in next to your bed

48
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:06.880
She takes Amy

49
00:04:06.880 --> 00:04:10.580
Puts you on the cart and you roll down the hall

50
00:04:10.580 --> 00:04:16.660
Then you say hi mom bye dad and they'll wait for you in the waiting room right down the hall from where you're going to be

51
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:18.020
Okay

52
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:25.340
Down the hall and outside the operating room you might have to wait there for a minute or two you won't worry will you?

53
00:04:27.700 --> 00:04:29.560
Now as soon as they're ready for you

54
00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:33.260
In the operating room

55
00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:37.700
Roll Amy in

56
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.260
And up onto the operating table

57
00:04:41.260 --> 00:04:46.720
This table isn't like your bed is it it's hard and black right right?

58
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.860
And they're gonna be ten doctors and nurses just for you in that operating room look like this

59
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.380
Those are for me

60
00:04:54.380 --> 00:04:59.820
Well, we're gonna use those for now and the doctor has a mask over his nose

61
00:04:59.820 --> 00:05:04.500
He looks a little scary doesn't he but underneath that mask what's he doing?

62
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.000
smiling yes

63
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.980
And those doctors and nurses are all there to make you better

64
00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:14.260
After you're up on the operating table

65
00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:22.980
Look up and you're gonna see great big bright light overhead and that's how the doctors and nurses can see very carefully what's going on

66
00:05:23.760 --> 00:05:28.860
Now when they're ready for you to go to sleep the nurse will take a mask

67
00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:35.160
It looks like this and she's gonna say okay Amy. She's gonna put it over your mouth

68
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.640
And over your nose and say I want you to breathe deeply can you go like this

69
00:05:45.100 --> 00:05:50.140
And inside of two or three minutes you're going to be sound asleep

70
00:05:51.180 --> 00:05:52.300
Sound asleep

71
00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:56.960
This Amy this Amy's going to be sound asleep

72
00:05:58.220 --> 00:06:00.100
Now when you wake up

73
00:06:00.100 --> 00:06:04.760
You're going to be in a different room, and you won't even remember having gotten there

74
00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:07.940
And that room

75
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:11.680
You called

76
00:06:12.760 --> 00:06:18.800
Intensive care you know why they call it that because they give you the most special care there of any place in the hospital

77
00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:22.160
Yes, here's a baby who just had heart surgery

78
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.140
Can we talk a little bit about what that room is going to be like?

79
00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:32.240
But the baby's gonna tell nurse right right here's the nurse

80
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:39.520
And she's saying hi Amy. How are you feeling a little groggy a

81
00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:40.980
little groggy

82
00:06:40.980 --> 00:06:44.980
Inside this tent it's going to be a little foggy

83
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:52.260
A little damp and a little cool and the reason that you're going to be in this tent is it makes it very easy to breathe

84
00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:57.260
Very easy to breathe in this tent, but not me

85
00:06:58.140 --> 00:07:01.400
I'm not going to go in here now tomorrow

86
00:07:01.960 --> 00:07:08.200
Tomorrow I can come on right and at the foot of the bed is a machine

87
00:07:08.200 --> 00:07:11.940
It looks like a television set look at that and that's called a monitor

88
00:07:11.940 --> 00:07:17.240
And that registers your heartbeat little red lines going up and down and you're going to hear those machines

89
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:21.640
And you know what they sound like like this beep beep beep beep beep

90
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:27.820
And Amy we talked about you didn't have any breakfast remember no breakfast

91
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.540
And you're still not going to feel like eating for a little while

92
00:07:32.260 --> 00:07:36.240
So we have what we call IV which is like a liquid food

93
00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:39.520
And there's going to be one attached

94
00:07:40.660 --> 00:07:42.740
To your arm

95
00:07:43.780 --> 00:07:45.260
One attached to your leg

96
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.340
And that's so you won't have to eat for a few days until you feel a little bit more like eating okay, okay

97
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.280
And you're going to have a little bandage

98
00:07:57.820 --> 00:08:03.300
Over your chest where the surgery has been okay and coming from under the bandage

99
00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:06.720
Is what we call a drainage tube and then earth will take care of that

100
00:08:12.220 --> 00:08:12.660
Now

101
00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:18.320
Mommy and daddy won't be able to spend quite as long with you tomorrow as they have up till now you're going to see them

102
00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:21.560
For about oh ten or fifteen minutes every couple of hours, okay?

103
00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:24.940
That's because you want to get lots and lots of sleep because you're going to feel tired

104
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.060
My mom's gonna take me right right

105
00:08:30.780 --> 00:08:37.120
My mom gonna take me her mommy will be waiting in the waiting room during the operation and then afterwards when you're in this room

106
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.340
She'll come and see you about ten or fifteen minutes every two hours

107
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.220
Well probably some of the time when she comes in to see me you'll be slipping

108
00:08:46.020 --> 00:08:50.480
Don't you think because we want you to get lots of sleep two five

109
00:08:51.500 --> 00:08:53.200
I'm gonna be here for

110
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:58.880
Three weeks right oh, I hope it won't be that long. I don't think it'll be as long as three weeks

111
00:08:59.880 --> 00:09:03.820
We'll be in this we'll be up in this special part of the hospital about two or three days

112
00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:10.980
And then when the nurse decides you're just fine to go back to your own room. She'll move you right back to your very own room

113
00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:19.360
Now do you have any questions you want to ask me about what we've talked about

114
00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:21.740
no questions

115
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.380
And I can back and see you next week in your own room when you're back in your own room

116
00:09:51.740 --> 00:09:51.740


117
00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:22.320
you

118
00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:51.820
you
