Case study Paper A transient ischemic attack-- also known as a mini-stroke-- occurs when an area of the brain is blocked causing a lack of blood flow. When this occurs, oxygen supply is interrupted and emergency services are needed. TIAs come and go quickly, so “although the symptoms of a TIA may disappear, take it as a warning of an impending, serious ischemic stroke” (“What is a stroke?”, 2010). Care delivery, delegation, and prioritization are important concepts to consider when examining a…

The patient’s CT scan revealed a hypodense chronic subdural hematoma with a midline shift. She was prepared for immediate surgical evacuation. The three surgical options for chronic SDH include percutaneous twist-drill craniostomy (TDC), operative…

We discussed breaking bad news to parents in our feedback session where we talked about how important it is for doctors to be able to break bad news, and that it is a vital skill to have. In my opinion, the conversation with the parents will be to say that there is little hope for survival and no hope for survival without serious handicap in this child as I’ve highlighted above, and that the resuscitation should be abandoned. The process of therapeutic hypothermia involves the baby being cooled…

Heart failure (HF) is a complex and progressive clinical syndrome that can result from any structural abnormality or functional impairment of ventricular filling or ejection of blood.1 The term “heart failure” is preferred over “congestive heart failure” because some patients may show no signs or symptoms of volume overload.1 An estimated 5.1 million Americans >20 yrs of age have HF based on NHANES 2007-2010 data.2 By 2030, projection show that the prevalence of HF will increase 25% from…

Introduction Perfusion is a very important aspect to the human body. Perfusion is defined as the flow of blood through arteries and capillaries that deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing cellular waste from the body (Giddens, 2013, p. 148). For us to maintain optimal perfusion, we need are heart to generate sufficient cardiac output. This means transporting the blood through patent blood vessels to supply the tissues throughout the body. Impaired perfusion may occur when the…
