Cardiac surgery

worry about the dangers of anesthesia ever again. TUPM will have a design similar to that of a computer and it will have several purposes. It will generate the type and amount of anesthesia a patient needs, and it will also show a report of any surgeries a patient has had in the past, or any other significant information. First, an anesthesiologist would record all of your information, such as your social security number, gender, age, height, weight, blood type, allergies, level of physical…

One beautiful, sunny day in late fall when the leaves were changing colors and there was a little chill in the air, my sister and I were in her jeep with our mom scouring the area for sales. Tonya, my sister, treated us to Hardees biscuits to eat while on our search. We were all excited about different items we purchased from the various sales. The day was feeling like another normal day to look for yard sales with my family. As I stared out the window, thoughts of the peaceful day flooded my…

“You’re going to want to pinch the mask around your nose,” shouted a hazy figure through the thickening fog, opacifying the lenses of my glasses with each breath. As I squeeze the aluminum frame lining the top of my surgical mask, I can feel my pupils constrict as the bright lights of the operating room flood my vision. For a second I am suspended in a state of sensory overload. I am cold but sweating through the first pair of scrubs I have ever donned. My eyes are following the squiggly lines…

started to understand just how crucial veterinarians are in my everyday life. My mom was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis before I was born. Over the years I have seen her suffer through this disease and have helped her through countless surgeries. During her recovery period there were many times where my brother and I were not able to be at home to help her due to school and other activities, but she was never alone. Our family dog was always…

the brain to just pain management, anesthesiologist are educated on many types of drugs that can perform amazing things. Anesthesiologists have to be on the top of their game all of the time, if you patient starts to experience difficulties during surgery, the anesthesiologist must be prepared for all possible difficulties and be ready to assess the situation and do whatever is needed to save the patient. Although Anesthesiology is…

medicine with the idea of a “pain free” surgeries, due to a thing called Anesthesia, the injection of a drug before and during the surgery. Since being around from World War I to today, the services of anesthesia delivered have changed. Nurse anesthetists also known as CRNA’s have helped in variety of ways, ranging from working around in physician offices, ER rooms, trauma care, or even dentist offices. They have shown that anesthesia is essential for surgeries and is a career that requires…

A week after my surgery I had to start physical therapy which was good and bad. Good in the fact that I was always getting stronger, but bad in the fact that it was painful and it felt pointless to try to get my hip back to normal before I had to have yet another surgery. Even though I thought physical therapy was going to be pointless, I had no choice, so I went twice a week for over two months until the date of my next surgery. The day finally came for my next surgery and it seemed just like…

This paper further presents perioperative surgical model role in each phase of surgery.

the removal of the disposable table cover, disposal pillow, and disposal pillow sheet, disposable on board cover (the list goes on) and replace them with new disposable materials as well as removing the trash (anything that’s not washable from the surgery), and the soiled linen. In addition, in the process of changing over rooms was mopping. Furthermore, I know that we use this for sanitary reasons; however, I wonder why we can’t have a re-washable system. That was not the only job they were…

A common excuse for unacceptable care is “lack of resources.” Patients go without anesthesia for painful procedures due to “lack of resources.” Children are born into rags due to “lack of resources.” My first surgery to shadow was an emergency motor traffic accident under a well-fed Muslim doctor. Walking into the barely air-conditioned OR, I saw the patient had fractured his left tibia completely in half and both shins were ripped open with large masses of displace…
