Arrest warrant

hypothermia in cardiac arrest has shown improved neurological outcome rate in multiple trials. Current AHA guidelines report Class 1, Level B recommendation of therapeutic hypothermia for cardiac arrest with out-of-hospital shockable rhythm while it is a Class 2b, level B recommendation for in-hospital cardiac arrest with any rhythm or out of hospital arrest with a non- shockable rhythm. In North Shore Medical Center, therapeutic hypothermia is offered to all cardiac arrest patients who do not…

As the police arrived they detain a group of black African Americans and the 15 year old girl who supposedly resisting arrest gets pin down by a cop who then arrest the girl. The cop does it in a very aggressive way which he should have not done, the girl was harmless and there was no reason for the cop to be so harsh during the arrest. The good thing that the cop was dismissed from being an officer: “The officer, Corporal David Eric Casebolt, has been placed on leave.” That’s…

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest or OHCA is an abrupt loss of cardiac function in a public setting, usually occurring instantly or soon after symptom development (American Heart Association [AHA], 2014-a). Defibrillation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR are well-documented variables in predicting poor OHCA outcomes (Bur et al. 2001). CPR is the method of compressing a patient’s chest at 100 beats per minute, providing adequate blood flow to the body’s vital organs, preserving life (New…

Introduction Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a world wide health problem resulting in one-fifth of unexpected deaths in the western world. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is one of the life-threatening arrhythmias contributing to the increasing number of individuals needing urgent medical assistance (Wellens, Gorgels & Munter, 2013). The following case study will explore a complex critically ill patient who has suffered from a ventricular tachycardia (VT) and VF due to dilated left ventricle (LV)…

The following clinical cases are derived from an academic medical center in the state of Missouri during the author’s career as a Registered Nurse (RN). The cases are used to demonstrate dignity, beneficence, sympathy, nonmaleficence, respect for autonomy, and veracity. While the first case exhibits allowing a choice to occur, the second case counterpoints by exhibiting forcing a choice that may have otherwise not have happened. (This isn’t very fluid and I’m not sure if I should add more here……

article that I choose was called “Targeted Temperature Management at 33°C versus 36°C after Cardiac Arrest”. The objective of the article was to find at which temperature was it better to induce hypothermia on a patient who had gone into cardiac arrest in an out-of-hospital scenario to prevent neurological damage and the. The researchers hoped that if by inducing hypothermia early on after the cardiac arrest and loss of consciousness there would be little to no brain damage. The researchers…

convict is also being monitored within everything he or she chooses to do. To assist with this the offender is placed with an electronic monitoring device on them for tracking at all time, this is also called house arrest or home detention. When an offender is placed upon house arrest that person is not allowed to leave the…

The neuroprotective systems of medically induced hypothermia are presently broadly perceived and executed as a standard of care. When time is of extreme importance, medical attendants should have the capacity to settle on educated choices with a since of direness at during key moments to ensure a patient is effectively cooled and rewarmed without significant trauma. In the midst of the moderately occasional, yet developing information, it is trusted that utilizing a nursing checklist to…

more regularly. 38.5% of people that received an icd were 70 years or older, only 7% were 80 and older. The only that your age as to do with is death (Yung et al, 2013). “For example, among those undergoing ICD implantation for prevention of cardiac arrest, 2 in every 100 patients ages 18-49 died whereas 10 in 100 died among those 80 years and older.” as stated in the article in the last paragraph (Yung et al,…

According to the American Heart Association (2015), each year over 320,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) occur and as a result are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. With the frequent occurrence of such a life-threatening event, it is essential to understand the proper way to react. Cardiac arrests can be separated into three groups; ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia (VF/ VT), pulseless electrical activity (PEA), and asystole.…
