There are umpteen things and essentials required in a hospital, and one must not forget them to keep in their hospital stay kit. Below are some of the most required items which you will need for your hospital stay. These are mentioned as follows.
Comfortable Nightwear
Baggy and comfortable buttoned-up pyjamas are way easier to carry after a surgical treatment or any medical therapy. For women, a nightdress option is also there if you have a urinary catheter fitted in your body. However, remember to pack more than a single pair of pyjamas if your hospital stay is longer.
Daytime Clothing
When you’re in a hospital, loose and baggy clothes are the best. Also, bring along clean undergarments, a few pairs of socks, and slippers to roam around during the day. Especially for women, your choice of the bra must be accurate in the case of chest surgery or ICD implantation.

Small towels or cushions
Coughing and sneezing are inevitable, and one should always be prepared to fight those. Yes, in a hospital ward, you can also catch a cough or a running nose, and there you will need some hand towels. Especially after chest surgery, cough or sneezing can put a lot of pressure on your breastbone and you, in any case, should not try to stop it as this may lead to a chest infection. You can take a small towel or a cushion and roll it up and hold it against your breast bone to avoid pain while coughing.
Stuff to read
A few things to keep you occupied and entertained are must to carry. You can take some books, magazines, puzzles, comic books, etc., to keep you busy when bored. Make sure the books aren’t heavy to hold, especially after chest surgery.
Toiletries
The other essential things come under the category of toiletries that include your toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, toilet rolls, dental floss, hairbrush or comb, soaps, and towels. Instead of soap, a shower gel is much better to use as it stays damp on your body. If you use shaving materials, don’t forget to bring along those too.
Your Electronic devices
Your mobile phone, laptop, charger, tablet, e-reader, music player, and other electronic devices must be considered carefully before taking them to the hospital. Most hospitals do not provide any security of the patient’s personal belongings, take them at your own risk or instead leave them at home. If you decide to take them, a cell phone, phone charger, and earphones are the most necessary gadgets you will need during your hospital stay.
Food and medications
Although it’s not compulsory, you can take some healthy snacks and juice cartons along with you. Some nuts, fresh and dried fruits will do the job of healthy snacking on and off. You can also take prunes as they help constipation that some people suffer from after having surgery. Also, do not forget to take your regular medicines to the hospital as well. These include your prescribed drugs, eye/ear drops, inhalers, medical creams, etc.
