Following strict medical guidelines, the anesthesiologist takes into account the patient’s current health, any medications they are taking, and the type of surgery that is being performed. While the surgery is taking place, the anesthesiologist monitors the patient’s critical life functions to make sure no complications arise. After the surgery is over, the patient’s well-being has to be monitored as the anesthetic wears…

    Kimball Atwood in his article ‘‘Acupuncture Anesthesia’ Redux: another Skeptic and an Unfortunate Misportrayal at the NCCAM” explores the issues and controversies in the relationship between science and medicine. In “Alternative Medicine — The Risks of Untested and Unregulated Remedies”, Marcia Angell and Jerome Kassirer talk about the alternative medicine that sets it apart from ordinary medicine. The arguments marginalize Chinese medicine work. Kimball argues that the analysis of the report is an example of academics being “overconfident in their ability to understand how things work.”…

    Rotator cuff impingement is what happens when the tendons and bursa in the sub-acromial/suprahumeral area are compacted together. Compression can initiate painful friction, stress and mechanical wear on the shoulder. Classic signs and symptoms include pain when flexing or abducting the shoulder above 80 degrees and weakness in the shoulder muscles, which are often detected when the patient is given the Hawkins-Kennedy and Neer impingement tests. This impingement disorder mostly stems from athletes and individuals whose jobs require constant overhead lifting, but can also be the result of an unstable glenohumeral joint caused by aging or tendon pathologies. Because there are multiple causes of rotator cuff impingement, it is classified into two categories; primary and secondary.…

    The Grattan Institute strongly suggested the anaesthetic nursing practice must be taken into present day demand. The basic nursing practice in the anaesthetic nursing profession must rise from assistant to the anaesthetist to a nurse anaesthetist providing health care services focusing on the medical model of care. This will enable our anaesthetic nurses to help create solutions to our health care services by providing competent and affordable anaesthetic care services. Advancement of anaesthetic nursing practice will arrange a resolution to cut the cost of health care services, resolve the long waiting list specifically for patients who are waiting to have surgery and other diagnostic procedures where anaesthesia is required. The importance of adopting nurse anaesthetist in our health care system appeared to be an advantage to Australian health care.…

    As a little girl, I was always fascinated with teeth. Since I could remember, I knew I was going to be a dentist when I grew up. What interested me the most is how every single time I was lying in the dentist’s chair watching about four or five tools go inside my mouth at a time and I would not feel a thing. Of course it was the fact that I was numbed from cheek to cheek, but I was fascinated by the drugs given to patients in order for dentists to perform these painful dental surgeries on the soft tissues of someone’s teeth, bone, and oral cavity.…

    \IEEEPARstart{P}{hysical} pain can be defined as the negatively-valenced experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage \cite{loeser2008kyoto}. Pain in neonates is categorized into three main types, acute procedural pain, acute prolonged pain, and chronic pain \cite{anand2007pain}. Acute procedural pain is often caused by a short painful stimulus (e.g., immunization) and it ends as the cause of pain (i.e., stimulus) is removed. The acute prolonged pain (a.k.a., postoperative) is triggered by a clear stimulus (e.g., surgical procedure) and has a clearly definable beginning and expected end point; the intensity of this type of pain decreases as a function of time since the painful stimulus occurred. The third type of pain, chronic…
