Thank you for this educational video. As a CNA it's important we continue learning new information. This video has helped me with a better understanding of the bariatric persons needs and how to move, reposition, etc.
Great Video for Nursing/ Rehab entry level Students. Wish they made video for advanced all ready practicing clinicians, wish current education system and teaching methods teach closer to the practical World. I would appreciate the Duke school if they made more practical world scenario education video. Lets Add some Advanced condition and Apply these Basics, The Video is perfect for this Young Bariatric patient, Now lets add some more details. How to Treat Bariatric patient who has multiple medical complications like when they are greater than 60 yrs age, when they have multiple medical complications like being on Ventilator, Respiratory issue, has post op surgeries, limited range with shoulder ROM, lower back pain issues, Arthritis issue, patient Motivation level, Poor Diet Habits, When companies focus on productivity, when CNA assist is Limited, when rooms are shared with other patient and No Space to move around. I work in Long term acute care center and More than Half of Patients in hospital are Morbidly obese and bariatric. Prevention is Better than Care. Wish Medical System education and profession would make profit and treat towards prevention than treatment/cure.
Thirty year Healthcare Professional, here; and, this video is teeth-gritting..... As our patients get heavier, and our facilities grow "thriftier," we do not have access to state-of-the art hydraulic equipment.... We do not have adequate staff, in the best of facilities... Hand cranking lifts, old crank beds, frayed slings, and no help; post-script, it is against the Law, to transfer patients, via a hoyer lift, as a solo operator----within facility.... Some patients weigh in the stockyard parameters, of livestock... No insult is meant; merely reality... Hormonal imbalances are rare; this epidemic is literally self-imposed.... As Agency, I travel through Healthcare; hospitals, hospice, rehabilitation, assisted living, and long term care (dementia lockdown)..... It is disheartening to care for a patient, in a room (literally) full of Little Debbie treats, Cheeseballs, Potato Chips, full calorie soda pop, and the cheapest, most deadly snacks, available..... There comes a point in time, when those (who can) would benefit from taking personal responsibility, for their health.... All of this level of care, is completely avoidable..... Our collective empathizes are stretched, no matter how unpopular that revelation, may be........
Toxic food does cause hormonal balances as can be seen the hair that grows on women's faces on the chin and such (dominance of testerone) However, I feel it's more a sociatal problem. Parents generally in poorer communities who work so much not much time is left for the kids wellbeing including a healthier diet. In fact, obesity is directly correlated to poverty levels but at same times, adults can change their lives if they aren't willing to do the work. Unfortunately, often people get to a certain weight it feels very hopeless and sometimes what youre seeing is that they have given up on life and themselves.
I’m glad someone said this! It’s not unbearable to just the residents, it’s unbearable to staff as well to care for obese residents. Most of these LTC facilities (at least here in TX), want you to use assistance from another staff to do only a transfer, but NOT for SHOWERS/BED BATHS, and pericare! I have asked for assistance for bed baths & pericare numerous of times for an obese resident, but no one comes! I have to do it alone & it hurts my back to turn them. Then they wonder why these facilities have high turnovers 🙄😒😒
Hi, how are you ? This bariatric surgery is a medical error, just as errors occur in any other profession. I have two acquaintances of mine who died because of this surgery. One had little stomach and when she went to eat a snack, the little stomach she had was unable to digest it, and then she got severe pains in her stomach, feeling sick and died. The other acquaintance of mine, became weak and when she ate, her intestines could no longer retain nutrients from food and she died of malnutrition. And when she was alive, she kept passing out fainting from weakness, even eating and eating right. Her stomach became small and so the body did not absorb food for it to survive. With so little stomach left in it, they cut a part of it out, and didn’t keep the tissue to be frozen, so that if she eventually needed to undo the surgery, put it back in it again. So how do you do it? And there was another one that I forgot to mention. That the internal scar of the surgery became very thin and broke, causing her stomach to fall into her body and she died instantly. I do not know how they have not yet banned this surgery, with so many people who give problems, after they went through it. Not to say them all. Be careful. Why go through this? Dieting, without being radical and exercising, is the best thing. And examine the patient to see why he doesn't lose weight. I currently, when I eat only two tablespoons of rice on the plate and eat at regular times. It helped me a little to maintain the weight. Hugs /
