Nursing Observation Day in Endoscopy Shilo Swayze Ivy Tech Community College Columbus Campus Polyps: Polyps are a mass of tissue that arises from the bowel wall and protrude into the lumen. They may develop anywhere in the bowel, but are most common in the sigmoid and colon regions. Polyps are mostly benign, but have the potential to become cancerous. They develop as pedunculated…

significant decrease in MABP and HR in group I compared with group II from 1 min after skin incision assessment value onwards. None of the patients in group I developed either hypotension (more than 20% drop in MABP than preanesthetic values) or bradycardia below 50 beats/min (Tables 3 and 4). As regards maintenance measurements, the end tidal concentration of isoflurane was significantly lower in group I to maintain a BIS of 40–50 compared with that in group II (P < 0.0001). There was a…

Do you or someone you know have heart arrhythmia or also commonly known as an irregular heartbeat.

Hello everyone, In this thread, I would like to discuss about stroke and Tizanidine, a pharmacological agent is to manage spasticity. Stroke transitioned from being the third to the fourth leading cause of death in the United States (Goodman & Fuller, 2015). Although the decline in mortality, it remains as the leading cause of long term disability (CDC, n.d.). Stroke is a focal vascular-induced injury of the brain. Disruption of blood supply may be caused either by an obstruction (called an…

In this section, the author (SS) will briefly present his interpretation of alarm fatigue through the lens of TMSC theory. For the purpose of a clarity, the author will use a nurse working in the ICU as the individual in the model. The adaptation of the TMSC theory into the alarm fatigue is translated into Figure 3. Stressor/stimulus and the transaction. In alarm fatigue phenomenon, clinical alarm is viewed as a stressor/stimulus. Based on our understanding of the TMSC theory, when a nurse…

92. The client who is under the management of the nurse notes that the former is prescribed with Fluphenazine decanoate (Prolixin).

patient died after labetalol, hydralazine, and extended-release nifedipine were crushed and given by NG tube. (Crushing extended-release medications allows immediate absorption of the entire dosage.) As a result, the patient experienced profound bradycardia and hypotension leading to cardiac arrest. Although she was successfully resuscitated, she received the drugs the same way the next day. Clinicians had failed to communicate to other team members that her initial cardiac arrest had occurred…

This allows acetylcholine to be bound to the few available receptors for longer amount time. In general, this approach is mostly beneficial for patients who have a milder form oft the disease. Furthermore, inhibitors like pyridostigmine may cause bradycardia, particularly in elderly patients. Doses in high amounts also cause increased muscle cramps, sweating, and diarrhea. Corticosteroids can also be used to inhibit the immune system and antibody production. However, the adverse effects of…

which is when you get extra beats (the most common type), Supraventricular tachycardia is when your heart beats too fast, ventricular rhythm issues can halt the ventricle from pumping blood into your body (this could result in cardiac arrest), and Bradycardia is when your heart beats too slow meaning not enough blood gets to your brains sometimes meaning you could pass out. If someone is unlucky to have arrhythmias the heart could possible not be able to pump enough blood throughout your body.…

disorders. One of those is cardiovascular disease. Some athletes develop cardiovascular disease through extreme dieting. Eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia have the ability to weaken the heart and put strain on it. They can develop bradycardia or cardiac myopathy, among other things (Summerfield, 2015). We already noted that it can affect the endocrine system through amenorrhea and that it can also affect the muscle skeletal system through osteoporosis, but it also can affect the…
