(2). AF ablation is a complex interventional procedure associated with potential risk of thromboembolic complications as periprocedural stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cardiac tamponade (1, 2). Approximately, from 0 to 7 % of AF patients undergoing ablation suffer from thromboembolic complications (3). Management of systemic anticoagulation before, during, and after ablation is essential to minimize the risk of these complications but it also could potentially increase the risk of…

communicate regarding any incomplete task that has not been done according to the checklist. In addition, provide information about Mrs. Audrey being allergic to Bactrim to the theatre nurse. POSTOPERATIVE CARE At 2000hrs, when Mrs. Audrey returns from the theatre, assessment of observations, neurovascular (pulse, motor strength, temperature, sensation and movement), neurological should be conducted to prevent any further complications postoperatively according to the hospital protocol (Brigham…

unable to meet his activities of daily living (ADL) such as preparing food, transferring from a wheelchair, exercising, and dressing up, for which he has been referred to Occupational Therapy. NEUROLOGICAL DESCRIPTION A. HISTORY DESCRIPTION OF CENTRAL CORD SYNDROME: Central Cord syndrome is an incomplete type of Spinal cord injury. It occurs when there is damage to the nerve fibers that bring messages from the brain to the body also known as the descending tracts. This can happen due to trauma…

sickness may range from mild to life-threatening situations. High altitude pulmonary edema or HAPE and the high altitude cerebral edema or HACE are life-threatening. In HAPE, fluids are built in the lungs and makes breathing extremely difficult. It comes quickly and if untreated can lead to respiratory collapse and ultimately death. HACE is build up fluid in the brain causing swelling and changes the person’s mental state. He or she losses coordination, becomes comatose then death follows.…

The fight or flight response, also known as the “acute stress response” was first described by Walter Cannon in the 1920s as a theory that animals react to threats when the autonomic nervous system reacts. His theory was later recognized as the first stage of a general adaptation syndrome that regulates stress responses among vertebrates and other organisms. Our autonomic nervous system consists of two branches: the parasympathetic and the sympathetic systems. The sympathetic system’s…

Virchow-Robin (VR) spaces or perivascular spaces of the brain refer to spaces that accompany the cerebral vessels as they pass from subarachnoid space into the brain parenchyma. A few evident perivascular spaces can be considered normal at any age but many visible perivascular spaces are not. The relevance of visible perivascular spaces to SVD is shown by their presence in increased numbers in patients with white matter hyper-intensities and with symptomatic lacunar ischemic stroke. The…

Neuromuscular symptoms are the most common presenting problem of hypermagnesaemia and magnesium intoxication. Magnesium prevents the release of pre-synaptic acetylcholine from both sympathetic and neuromuscular junctions.(93)Hypermagnesaemia causes blockage of neuromuscular transmission and depresses the conduction system of the heart and the sympathetic ganglia. Clinically, one of the earliest effects of magnesium intoxication…

Descriptive statistics provide theme, median, mode and standard deviation. First, the frequencies were calculated for death status, weight and sex. Next, descriptive statistics were computed for death status and weight (Table 1 and 2). This is done to determine if men who are overweight die more often than women who are overweight. Then, a PROC UNIVARIATE procedure was used to compute the sex and weight descriptive…
