- Phase I: impatient/discharge: early mobilitation and increasing activity
- Phase II: Outpatient exercise and education: community based,
individualized plan, risk modification, counselling
- Phase III: Maintenance: community based, independent, cardiac monitoring
not needed anymore
- polyuria: from kidneys not being able to concentrate urine, mostly at night, SG
1.010
- oliguria
- anuria: urine output less than 40 mL per 24 hours
1. Improve cardiac function
2. Remove accumulated fluid and sodium- fluid restriction in acute stages
3. Decrease cardiac demands: neutral thermal environments, reduce breathing
effort in semi fowler, sedation for irritability, rest
4. Improve tissue oxygenation and decrease oxygen consumption
- laser photocoagulation: laser destroys ischemic area of retina and leaking blood
vessels preventing future vision loss
- vitrectomy: aspiration of blood, membrane, and fibres inside the eye which treats
vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment of the macula.
