Question:

Post-surgery questions?

1) Why do some people shiver after surgery, even if there are blankets on them? 2) Also, why does the neck/shoulder area become very sore after surgery? Is it because of the anesthesia (if so, why does it do that)?

Answer:

Well, there are a few reasons why people shiver after surgeryFirstly, OR suites are kept quite cool for the comfort of the surgical staffOnce the patient is asleep, they monitor their temperature closely, use warming blankets on them, but for the comfort of surgical staff who are covered in impervious gowns (don't breathe very well), they lower the temperature of the roomSecondly, anesthesia can cause this effect for two reasonsSometimes the medications used by anesthesiologists can have that side effect.the other reason is that anesthesia in itself causes vasodilation, which allows quicker heat loss Did you ever notice that when you're really warm, your veins pop out on your hands/arms, etc.? Well, this is just one of the many ways your body tries to compensate to cool you downIn answering your second question, there are also a few possibilities thereYour throat will be sore, possibly your neck shoulders to some small degree, b/c of the intubation processAnesthesiologists must tilt your head back for visualization when placing the ET tube down your throatThe tube itself will cause soreness in your throat for a day or so post-opAlso, positioning can somewhat be a factor, depending on your position (needed for the surgery) how long the surgery tookProper positioning to protect nerves bony prominences is a major focus for surgical staff before surgery startsFinally, if the surgery was laparoscopic (vsopen surgery), the gas placed in your body to allow the surgeon to visualize the area for surgery will to some degree get trapped inside the body will manifest itself quite frequently as shoulder pain I hope this helped!
You can use either 80/20 Hobbs or pollydown from Hobbs but you need to check the distance between the ties on either one you decide to useIf you want comforter type use pollydown or 80/20 for a quilted type but you have to tie closer with this one.
I some time use a light , soft blanket, you don't have to tie it so closeIf I use cotton I like the kind that don't roll up when it is washedAnd if you will tie it in the ditch it want be as hard to pull your thread throughI like to tie and follow the pattern of the quiltAnd I use a soft fussy thread , if you use a slick light thread it wont stay tiedTip save some of the thread, that you tie the quilt withIf some comes untied you can replace itJust put it in a container and drop in your sewing chest Put a note in it so, three years later you want throw it awayQueen Bee
I agreeuse a fluffy polyester batting for a tied quilt that you want to look puffy and be cuddly They come in various thicknesses, and some come as brands prepackaged by size, or in huge rolls purchased by the yardSome are glazed on one side to hold the fibers together better since they won't be quilted with close stitchesThe thicker the batting too, of course, the warmer the quilt, though they will all flatten to some extent with time and useJust pick the one that feels best to you in terms of thickness, stiffness, etc(To create a thin quilt, or if you were doing a lot of quilting, you might want to get a cotton batt instead of polyester.) I've generally tied my baby quilts with baby yarn, spaced fairly far apart (8?), and that along with the binding keeps my polyester battings from shifting just fineI do put a drop of Fray Check or diluted permanent white glue though on the fabric at the inside and outside corners of the ties just to reinforce the fabric where it will be pulled on by the ties laterHTH, Diane B.
one million/two to one million sounds extra just like the width of a binding than of a borderWhichever, I often comprise the batting within the each any border and any bindingThere are no less than 3 functions for a slim binding, the least of that's ornamentalIt's visible that it continues the batting from falling outIt's now not as routinely remarkable that it protects the perimeters of the duvet from put on, as such it's supposed to be periodically changedThis is very similar to braid-stitched edgings on leatherwork they are designed to put on away and get replaced, as an alternative than have the major component of the object put on awayIf the batting isn't incorporated within the border/binding, a few put on might be focused on the fringe of the batting, requiring extra trimming of worn components with each and every re-binding, shrinking the duvet's dimension via the many yearsIf this can be a cover for bodily use as an alternative than a wall-hanger, there are exchange-off's on binding widthA slim binding dries quicker after laundering however presents much less safety to the brinkIs this honestly going to be a quilted cover or will it actually be a tied comforter? In my vocabulary, it isn't a cover until/till it is quiltedYou too can use safeguard pins to tack the batting to the highest and loosely baste the perimeters of the batting, and to the turn-liningThe pins are eliminated as tieing is accomplished via all layersI have now not located turn-linings to put on good in genuine useThey're pleasant for wall-hangings, however they pay attention put on at the edges of the highest and lining, shortening the existence earlier than upkeep might be required.
