including mortality, ranges from 1 in 617 to 1 in 2,320 cases. (1) Hematoma and seroma formation in surgical wounds has negative effects on wound healing and subsequent morbidity to patients. The etiology is multifactorial, involving inadequate hemostasis, lymphatic disruption, shearing between tissue surfaces, creation of surgical dead space, and systemic coagulopathy. (2) Seroma formation is a common post abdominoplasty complication, resulting in significant patient morbidity and expense. The…

A patient has a car accident and has been scheduled for a leg amputation. But before surgery the patient decided to ask his primary care doctor about autologous blood donation. The doctor explained the following requirements for autologous blood donation: the patient can’t donate within 72 hours prior to surgery, no age limitation for autologous donation, must be in overall good health and no present heart conditions, autologous units must be prescribed by the physician, discontinue use of…

of secondary or acquired hypercoagulability, which places individuals at risk for forming a VTE (Schwartz & Rote, 2014, p. 1049-1050). Moreover, one of Mrs. X’s surgeries was an extended right hepatectomy, which can result to an overall defect in hemostasis leading to problems with clotting systems or platelet function (Schwartz & Rote, 2014, p. 1043). Question 2 What are the age-dependent physiologic changes which occur in…

opening incision, retracting the opening incision, suctioning blood from the incision, and reconnecting tissue. Another essential responsibility the registered nurse first assistant has is to stop unnecessary bleeding by utilizing a technique called hemostasis. The registered nurse first assistant is also the nurse that may sometimes complete a procedure by cleaning up the incision and apply dressings, casts, or splints. They may also drill, cauterize, and approximate tissue, if requested by the…

The patient is the consumer of health care making them also the prime drivers for change in any health care system. It is through their reported HCAHPS satisfaction score that reimbursements are made from Medicaid and Medicare systems.

Hemostasis is achieved. Incisions are made between the corpora cavernosa. The tunnel is dilated using a clamp or hemostat and a dilator. The prosthesis is inserted. And the incision is closed. As with the inflatable penile prosthesis, the Foley catheter is…

In an effort to update current classification systems and to highlight the potential of endoscopic resections in the management of JNA, the authors propose a new staging system.This system attempts to incorporate new observations of proposed sites of origin and spread, potential areas of recurrence and new multi-corridor therapeutic strategies. Author’s staging system is based on analysis of 242 JNA patients treated at our center for the period of 9 years. This classification system is derived…

Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotes obtained through endosymbiosis with prokaryotes billions of years ago. They are organelles with their own DNA and outer and inner membrane and few organelles, because they lost many of their organelles to the Nuclear DNA of the eukaryotes which resulted them being dependent of the cell they live in This endosymbiosis is very crucial for eukaryotes survival since mitochondria produce the energy needed for the cell to survive through oxidative…
