Incidence of difficult intubation Difficult tracheal intubation contributes greatly to anaesthesia related morbidity and mortality. The principal adverse outcomes associated with the difficult airway include brain injury, cardiopulmonary arrest, unnecessary tracheostomy, airway trauma, damage to teeth and death8,9 The incidence of failed tracheal intubation ranges from 1 in 1000–2000 cases in the elective setting10,3. Failed and difficult tracheal intubations are associated with…

SUMMARY Airways Turn the victim on to their back and then open the airway using head tilt and chin lift: Place your hand on their forehead and gently tilt their head back. With your fingertips under the point of the victim's chin, lift the chin to open the airway. Airway obstruction is an emergency. Get expert help immediately. Untreated, airway obstruction causes hypoxia and risks damage to the brain, kidneys and heart, cardiac arrest, and death. Look for the signs of airway obstruction: •…

A reaction in a person exposed to an allergen is known as anaphylaxis ("Anaphylaxis | Causes, Symptoms & Treatment | ACAAI Public Website," n.d.). There are two types of reactions a person experiencing anaphylaxis can have, uniphasic in which symptoms come quickly, get rapidly worse, but once treated symptoms go away and don't return. The other reaction type is called bi-phasic, where symptoms start and go away for a period of time, then return with increasing symptoms. The most common causes…

The automatic response of the body is to increase cardiovascular output when activity rate increases; in order to raise oxygen levels in the blood for cell respiration. However, this response is varied depending on the type of activity being undertaken by muscles. A higher intensity exercise such as running causes a larger cardiovascular response however in the increase in mean arterial pressure is small. Whereas a lower intensity exercise causes a low cardiovascular response but the increase in…

Clinical Paper for Off-Sight Observation Experience: Special Procedures Madison Munday University of North Dakota Clinical Paper for Off-Sight Observation Experience: Special Procedures For my off-sight observation experience, I was assigned to shadow at Special Procedures. I had the opportunity to learn about many different conditions and procedural techniques, so it was an excellent contribution to my nursing education. At Special Procedures, I was able to follow three patients.…

caused when the heart slows and the blood begins to back up into the lungs. When the heart fails, the arteries that supply the heart muscle are narrowed known as coronary artery disease. The edema or swelling, is a sign of the heart failing to pump effectively. Many signs and symptoms include tachycardia…

Vascular access: Vascular access has a double lumen catheter located in the subclavian vein and artery in place. The caregiver removes the soiled dressing and assesses the site for infection. Once that 's completed the caregiver sterilizes it with a choraprep swab. The tubes are connected and the caregiver aspirates each port, then is flushed with…

conditions, the heart pumps blood through the arteries and veins and follow a smooth pathway. This flow is in turn control by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system (Huether, & McCance, 2012). Based on the body’s needs, heart pumps the desired amount of blood to maintain the tissue function. When this…

1. On presentation, this patient’s overdose has resulted in the following symptoms: bradycardia, bradypnea, hypotension, hypothermia, hypoxia, and non-responsive to pain. For this patient, an endotracheal tube would be placed to protect the airway and start mechanical ventilation, since the patient is having difficulty maintaining spontaneous ventilation. This will also protect the airway from potential aspiration. Continuous oxygen therapy at 100% to help improve the patient’s hypoxia.…

So when the arteries are dilated, the peripheral resistance that the ventricles must overcome to eject blood onto the circulation is diminished. Sublingual glyceryl trinitrate are absorbed organic nitrates that are absorbed by the endothelial cells of the blood vessel…
