Abstract:

To summarize the nursing experience of 2 children undergoing aortic valve replacement during transition period from hospital to family. In view of the critical condition of the children and the long postoperative nursing period,nursing measures such as establishing a multidisciplinary team,implementing precise anticoagulation management,implementing progressive rehabilitation training,applying Child Life game therapy,and carrying out multiple remote follow-up were adopted. After careful nursing from the hospital to the family transition period,the two children were safely transferred to home care. The patients were followed up for 3 months after discharge,and no complications of home care occurred.
