Intubation

Emergency treatment of cerebral hypoxia starts with taking measures to restore oxygen to your child’s brain and to keep your child’s body functioning (life support). Your child may: • Have a breathing tube put in to keep his or her airway open (intubation). • Get oxygen. • Have a machine to help your child breathe (mechanical ventilation). • Get fluids or blood through an IV line. • Get medicines to control blood pressure, heart rate, and seizures. Your child's treatment…

Introduction Unit managers are men or woman who manage and lead in a nursing unit. Unit managers have many responsibilities of which scheduling, prevention of absenteeism as well as maintaining a cross infection free environment is just a mere few of them. In this assignment I will learn in detail about the above mentioned topics. PART A Guidelines used to ensure fair scheduling of nursing staff Scheduling Scheduling can be defined as the way in which shifts and divisions of shifts are…

Analyse Heath Information Define Hypertension and arteriosclerosis. How are they often related? hypertension is defined as elevation of the arterial blood pressure above the normal range expected in a particular age group. In other words, it refers to HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. On the other hand, arteriosclerosis refers to any of several conditions affecting the arteries. The term is often used interchangeably with atherosclerosis, a disease of the arteries caused by deposition of fatty plaques in…

Staph infections are prevalent in hospitals, even today. Staph infections can lead to death. Healthcare professionals need to be more diligent in infection control processes in order to eliminate hospital-acquired staph infections. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2011 March) state approximately one out of twenty patients gets an infection while receiving medical care. About 41,000 patients with central lines get a bloodstream infection each year. Of those patients, one out…

Internal injuries most often happen during a separate medical procedure by the veterinarian (iatrogenic). These causes include: Accidental puncture while drawing blood Accidental puncture during neck surgery Traumatic intubation during use of a tracheostomy tube Administration of anesthesia During a transacheal wash External trauma to the trachea normally occurs as the result of an accident. These accidents include: Penetrating trauma from an arrow, gunshot Blunt trauma…

a myasthenic crisis then respiratory support is imperative for these patients. Two-thirds to 90% of all patients in a crisis must be intubated and mechanically ventilated (Behan & Chaudri 2008). If the patient is about to have a crisis, elective intubation is a preferred practice instead of doing an emergent one. Once the patient is intubated, the settings should be placed with tidal volumes of 8-10cm/kg and pressure support of 8-15cm H2O to prevent atelectasis and minimize the work of breathing…

the National Conferences and published few of these. I also learned and assisted arterial, venous samplings, cannulation, lumbar puncture, central vein catheterization, pleural aspiration and cardio-pulmonary resuscitations including endotracheal intubation during my…

In this paper I will discuss why my career goal is to be a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, CRNA.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a viral infection that affects young children and infants, but may also affect adults. RSV belongs to the family of paramyxoviruses and is classified in the genus pneumoviruses. There are at least ten polypeptides of RSV that exist. RSV is an ssRNA, enveloped virus ranging in size from 120-300nm, its envelope contains two proteins and two glycoproteins, according to virology-online. It has two subtypes A and B with, it is believed that subtype A exhibits…

breathing). HFNC is currently used in a variety of ways. In patients requiring intubation, traditional oxygen sources must be removed while the physician attempts the procedure. This is sometimes time consuming, allowing the patient’s blood oxygen levels to rapidly fall below the acceptable 93% threshold in less than a minute. When coupled with proper pre-oxygenation procedures, such as mechanical ventilation, before the intubation attempt, applying HFNC, and stopping mechanical ventilations,…
