#centralvenousline

[swimmiey]

Second try on this update. Was admitted Monday for surgery. Like I was expecting they had trouble getting an iv in. After a few tries there were 5 anesthesiologists around my bed looking with ultrasound for a vein they could put the iv in. After a while they decided to put me under with gas and put a central venous line in my neck/jugular vein when I was asleep. Later they told me they also had trouble putting the line in when is was under, they had to try 4 times. After surgery my CVL had to be removed because it wasn't working anymore, but I still needed iv access for my potassium. One of my favorite nurses from pain management was willing to try and get another iv, and she had after 2 tries. Because of scare tissue they've had some trouble placing the port, so it's kinda bruised and soar now but I'm just happy it's in there and I don't have to worry anymore about blood work or getting. Iv access when I need it. Had to stay over night because of my potassium levels, but that was okay. Still extremely nauseous from high pressure and the general anesthesia. Probably will be having my shunt surgery in 3 or 4 weeks and I'm so relieved I want have the same trouble with getting an iv in then. ************************************************* #generalanesthesia #anesthesiologist #operatie #operatingroom #portacath #portacathsurgery #centralvenousline #jugularline #ivpotassium #lowphosphate #lowpotassium #electrolyteimbalance #hospitallife #ziekenhuisleven #chronicillness #invisibleillness #intracranialhypertension #butyoudontlooksick #sickandtiredofbeingsickandtired #painmanagement #childhoodcancersurvivor #spoonielife #spoonieproblems #ineedanap #bravedutchies #brainsurgery #shuntlife #shuntproblems (bij Isala Ziekenhuis Zwolle)
