Nursing care of a patient with the thoracoabdominal aneurysm
Holanová, Marcela ; Heczková, Jana (advisor) ; Hrenáková, Eva (referee)
(AJ) The theme of my Bachelor's thesis is a Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). It is a very serious disease of the descending aorta, which arises weakening or damage of the vascular wall and can endanger the patient's life. Surgical intervention is necessary once the size of the dilation is 5 cm or more. Aneurysm rupture is a life-threatening condition, often leading to death. Surgical intervention of this disease can be done in highly specialized centres only. The primary target of this document is to present the TAAA disease, its diagnostics, cure and care from the patient's admission to his/her discharge. The secondary target is to identify the factors that affect the course of convalescence. The practical part of this thesis is composed in the form of a qualitative research, as a case study of a female patient admitted for the TAAA surgery, and by analysis medical records during the entire hospitalization. Another part of research is an observation and an unstructured interview with nurses taking care of the patient. As there is only a very few literature for nurses related to the care of the TAAA patients, I have written an educational manual at the ending part of this document, which will be available for the needs Department of Vascular Surgery Homolka Hospital (NNH).
