According to the AHRQ guidelines management of atrial fibrillation (Afib) or atrial flutter (AFL) is to provide a reliable approach of care across. Guidelines are as follow: Diagnosis/Evaluation • Assessment of signs and symptoms • Electrocardiogram (ECG) • Physical exam • Laboratory test • Imaging (chest x-ray, echocardiogram) • Continuous telemetry monitoring Treatment/Management • Resuscitation and consideration of other conditions contributing to instability • Direct current…

patient. Catheter ablation may be the cure for some atrial fibrillation patients. Cardioversion may be used before antiarrhythmic drugs are even started or catheter ablation is attempted. Anticoagulants must be used with cardioversion. Patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation are usually prescribed anticoagulants, anyway, to prevent thrombi from forming. Catheter ablation and cardioversion procedures are invasive and pose the most risk to patients. The studies researched mostly used large…

Hypotension is the most significant risk associated with the use of anti-hypertensive medica-tions. ACE inhibitors for example, and with combination of other anti-hypertensive drugs may result in reduction in preload and afterload. These drugs increase vasodilatory effects causing reduction in blood pressure. Risk factors include diabetes, more than 70 years of age and co-administration with other agents that affect the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) such as ACE inhibitors and beta…

guidance although content with the available evidence recommends further clarification of certain aspects of the studies. For instance there is limited evidence comparing Apixaban directly with other low molecular weight heparins or the new oral anticoagulants (NICE 2012). These would prove to strengthen any concerns surrounding cost effectiveness or ambiguity of the trials. To summarise Apixaban has gone through the lengthy drug discovery process and has proven to be successful providing an…

Introduction Mrs Beecham’s condition requires immediate attention and frequent monitoring during hospitalisation to prevent and reduce the risk of further damage to Mrs Beecham’s future health. The risk of recurrent DVT is high post hospitalisation. Therefore, it is crucial to educate Mrs Beecham how to identify recurrent symptoms of DVT and when to seek medical attention, to discuss the complications of untreated DVT, encourage lifestyle changes, importance of continuous thrombolytic therapy…

Theoretical/Conceptual Paradigm The study is based on the premise that various preparations of platelet concentrate such as PRF and CGF may be regarded as healing biomaterials since they contain all the necessary components permitting optimal wound healing following surgical procedures. Components such as growth factors and pro-inflammatory cytokines have been reported to work in unison for the achievement of wound healing in various medical and surgical cases. As such this can be a…
