1941 Rees and Abajian utilized the epidural space for thoracic anesthesia. The progression of epidural anesthesia finally peaked with continuous infusion of an anesthetic in thoracic surgeries in 1953 (Blas, 1996). Hemodynamic complications associated with epidural anesthesia include the possible development of severe bradycardia or asystole. According to Hines and Marschall, this is most likely to occur an hour after the epidural is used for injection (2012). Approximately half of the…

Lucy has lived a life of depression, constantly feeling alone, upset or worthless. Living with alcoholic parents drove her to become an alcoholic as well.

ABSTRACT The use of peripherally inserted central catheter lines for central venous access in patients has increased in recent years despite a lack of evidence regarding safety. A recent survey of invasive catheter practices among patients in the United States found that 37% of terminally ill patients use peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC lines) as part of their treatment protocol. The goal of this paper is to inform the reader about the safety, teaching, and care of peripherally…

to severe hemophilia A or B an infusion from donated blood or genetically engineered products called recombinant clotting factors may be needed to stop bleeding. If the bleeding is serious, the patient may need to receive clotting factor infusions to prevent bleeding. If bleeding is severe multiple infusions may be necessary. For hemophilia C, in Europe there is the missing clotting factor, XI that is available for injection. However, in North America, plasma infusions can be used to stop…

Business Quality: Improving PCA Pump Safety Historically, pain has been underreported and undertreated, specifically in acute care settings. According to by Tran, Ciarkowski, Wagner, and Stevenson (2012), nearly half of post-surgical patients experience insufficient pain relief while using a more conservative intramuscular (IM) opioid therapy. With the 1963 discovery of intravenous (IV) pain relief as a better option for controlling pain, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) technologies…

It is currently valued for its pain management properties because it produces angalesia; ketamine also binds to opioid mu and sigma receptors. In a randomized controlled trial of a single infusion of ketamine compared to an active placebo, midazolam involving patients with treatment resistant major depression, done by Murrough, Iosifescu, Chang, et al. (2013), found that twenty-four hours after the drug administration that ketamine demonstrated…

absence of conditioning stimuli and presentations of conditioned stimuli 3 min of the freezing response. Additionally, elevated plus maze had been used after drug infusion of mice had it and recorded their behavior by the video camera over 5 min. Furthermore of the research process mice had been go over surgery to inject the drug infusions. Nicotine had been infused 15 min before training or testing and methyllycaconitine or di-hydro B-erythroidine. To calculate the results, scientist used…

Introduction Originating from the Greek words ‘haima’, meaning blood, and ‘philia’, meaning friend, hemophilia is a medical condition in which the individual lacks a certain clotting factor which prevents bleeding as a result of injury. In order of rarity from most to least, it features type A, B and C hemophilia and various severity levels. Type A hemophilia consists of 90% of cases, in which the individual lacks clotting factor VIII and 70% of patients have a severe level of hemophilia.…

determined that this was not a successful method after short-term and long-term trials were ran and neither yielded favorable results. The second trial consisted of twelve patients. Four which were on IV infusions of 30mg/kg, four on IV infusions if 50mg/kg and four who received placebo. The infusions included Eteplirsen, which after just one injection had increased dystrophin protein expressions. There was a significant increase in dystrophin positive fibers in this study. It showed a…
