Cardiac arrest

Out of the 3.976 million people that live in Los Angeles, more than 3,000 people suffer from pollution-related respiratory diseases caused by the wildfires in 2017. A study released March 29, 2017 found that in 2007, air pollution lead to the premature deaths of 3.45 million people worldwide. In many parts of the United States, pollution has reduced the distance and clarity of what we see by 70 percent.The air pollution in South California was caused by the wildfires of 2017. It affected the…

(2013) recommend left ventricle (LV) function assessment for patients with lower LV function in 40 days. If LV function is not improved, the patient needs to be evaluated for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) insertion to prevent sudden cardiac death. Patients, especially those with drug-eluting stents, need to be monitored for antiplatelet compliance. Mrs. B will also need to follow up with her primary care provider for ECG, BMP, CBC, hemoglobin A1C, and…

This benchmark is not only vital to supporting national standards also keeping our hospital’s cardiac accreditation status. More important than keeping the accreditation in good standing this benchmark allows field personnel the chance to administer the best possible care before the patient ever arrives at the emergency room. This benchmark will also…

Stereotactic Neurosurgery The stereotactic neurosurgery process uses a 3-dimensional imaging system to enhance the diagnosis and surgical capabilities of the surgeon to make ablations, lesions, biopsy, injection, implantation, simulation and radio-surgery of the affected part. This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure also known as stereotaxy. Orthopedic Surgery Orthopedic surgery involves the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders related to the musculoskeletal structure of…

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACK GROUD Critical illness is any disease process, which causes physiological instability leading to disability or death within minutes or hours. Neurological and cardio respiratory systems generally have the immediate life-threatening effects. Fortunately, such instability can be reliably detected by deviations from the normal range in simple clinical observations such as level of consciousness, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure and urinary output (…

beating too quickly, too slowly, beating irregularly, or skipping a beat. The palpitations may be intermittent or may require medical intervention to resolve. Because of the heart rhythm abnormality, other symptoms may occur because of decreased cardiac output (the amount of blood that the heart pushes out to meet the body's demand for oxygen and energy). The patient may complain oflightheadedness, weakness, nausea andvomiting, chest pain, and shortness of…

situations rapidly, understands the health care policies as well as the procedures. EMT Basic requires hours of training in emergency medical care techniques. Instructions covers handling emergencies associated with bleeding, fractures, shocks, trauma, cardiac arrest, childbirth, ingestion of toxic substances and internal injuries. Trainees learn how to use emergency equipment, communication skills, and vehicle operation and maintenance. EMT Intermediate is when a trainee takes courses in…

Anticancer chemotherapy: The aim of drug treatment in patients with cancer is to reduce the presence of malignant cells. This may be achieved by causing a lethal cytotoxic event in the cancer cell that will arrest tumour progression. Targets for cytotoxic attack include inhibition of purine and pyrimidine synthesis, inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis and chemical attack on the integrity of the structure of cellular DNA. Since these treatments reduce the mechanisms of cell proliferation in…

religious beliefs, ethical issues, medical definitions, and so on. Each life support case is diverse. For example, the infamous case of Terri Schiavo from 1990 outlines a unique situation, unlike other life support circumstances. Terri collapsed from cardiac arrest, which resulted in massive brain damage; due to the lack of oxygen she received. Unfortunately, Terri was in a coma and after 2 months…
