心脏移植程序

Emory的心脏移植计划包括一个多学科专家团队，以确保我们的患者获得最佳护理和支持。我们的团队包括以下内容：

Transplant Surgeons

移植外科医生将进行您的心脏移植手术，并在手术后立即监督您的护理。从医院出院后，移植外科医生还将跟随您的进度。

移植心脏病学家

The transplant cardiologist is the doctor who possesses specialized knowledge and skill in the diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions and will manage your medical care before and after the transplant.

Transplant Infectious Disease Physicians

由于移植患者服用药物以防止免疫系统攻击其新器官，因此移植传染病医师为移植受者的传染病管理提供了咨询。他们提供移植前和移植后疫苗接种以及预防感染的个人治疗计划。

Physician Assistants & Nurse Practitioners

医师助理（PA）和护士从业人员（NP）是在有执照医师的监督下执业医学的移植团队的成员。PA或NP可以获得您的病史，进行身体检查并监督您的移植评估。他或她将教育您有关移植的知识。移植后，PA或NP将遵循您在医院以及移植诊所的进展。

移植协调员

移植协调员是一名注册护士，接受了接受移植前后患者的专门培训。移植协调员在移植过程的不同阶段工作。一个协调员将负责获得评估结果。从评估时间到移植时期，此协调员将作为您的主要联系人。额外的协调员将遵循您在医院的进展，并在您出院后的每次诊所就诊。

社会工作者

Social workers are available for evaluation and supportive counseling for you and your family throughout the phases of transplant. If you need information about local housing, fundraising, and other transplant resources, the transplant social worker can assist you.

精神科医生

A psychiatrist will meet with you during the evaluation to obtain a general mental health history. He or she can identify personal or social situations that may affect the likelihood of a successful outcome after transplant. Psychiatric help is available for any developing needs or concerns.

临床营养学家

A clinical nutritionist will see you before and after your transplant to evaluate your diet and help you maintain a healthy weight. After your transplant you may have difficulty maintaining your weight and controlling your cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The nutritionist will be available to see you regularly after your transplant to discuss these issues.

药剂师

A pharmacist will begin working with you after your transplant. It is important for you to clearly understand your medications and how each affects your body. The transplant pharmacist, along with your transplant coordinator and nurses, will explain the actions, dosages and side effects of your medications. The pharmacist will be available to answer questions during your hospitalization and after transplant.

牧师

A chaplain is on call 24 hours a day to visit with you while you are in the hospital. The chaplain can help you and your family deal with the emotional and spiritual issues that can be associated with transplantation.

员工护士

Staff nurses are responsible for monitoring your daily care in the hospital. They will teach you how to check your vital signs and identify any signs of infection. They will help you learn how and when to take your new transplant medications. Staff nurses play an important role in alerting the team to any potential problems.

财务协调员

The financial coordinator will help you understand the cost of transplantation, explain your insurance benefits and assist you in identifying resources available to you.

Organ Placement Program

器官安置团队经过专门的培训，可以审查与埃默里移植中心潜在接收者相匹配的所有器官的报价。该护理团队每周七天每天24小时打电话，以审查捐赠者在电话中与移植外科医生的报价。该专门培训的护士团队与众多器官采购组织一起，负责协调移植过程，从通过致电患者进行移植而收到初始要约之日起。如果并且当提供可能的移植患者时，将接触这些协调员之一。
