It happens in a split second or not long after indications show up. Every year, more than 420,000 crisis restorative administrations surveyed out of the healing facility heart failures happen in the United States. The expression "heart attack" is regularly mistaken used to depict cardiovascular arrest.While a heart attack…

Atropine is classified as a muscarinic anticholinergic parasympatholytic. Atropine comes from a plant called Atropa Belladonna and is one of several drugs classified as a belladonna alkaloids. It selectively blocks muscarinic receptors that inhibit parasympathetic stimulation and it can be absorbed by both enteral and parenteral routes. It is a medication that is distributed in most body tissues. Atropine is a drug that is metabolized in the liver and is normally eliminated in urine in 24 hrs.…

Prospective observational trial with a historical control: (Example) Title of the study: The effectiveness of NIV on patients with asthma exacerbation. Research question: Is NIV effective in managing asthma exacerbation and prevent intubation? The control group is all asthmatic patients with exacerbation required ED or ICU admission. The control group had been selected from medical record. Baseline measurement and follow up had happened in the past before the intervention has been applied…

Etomidate, which is an imidazole derivative and an ester, is the most commonly used anesthetic induction agent and characterized by rapid onset, with minimal side effects on cardiovascular and respiratory functions, as well as minimum histamine release. These properties make it especially useful for cardiac-compromised patients. [7] However, it can suppress adrenal function through blockade of 11β-hydroxylase. This suppression persists for at least 24 hours, and some authors suggest that it may…

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability around the world. Every year, about 1.7 million people in the United States suffer head injuries, leading to 275,000 hospitalizations and 52,000 deaths (Curry, Viernes & Sharma, 2011). According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2015), falls among children and elderly are the leading cause of TBI, accounting for 40% of all TBI in the United States, whereas young adult males in motor vehicle…

Collapse I remember the day like only yesterday. He said “mommy I wove you” right before the nurse came to take him away for surgery. It was the hands down the worst, most stressful day of my life. When the nurse finally came to get him, crying he said “daddy no go”. Those were the last words he said before going back for open heart surgery. I could feel my heart palpitating, my eyes welled with tears of fear, pain and just everything dealing with the unknown. My skin became engulfed…

Diagnosis and management of sepsis are agreat challenge facing neonatologists in nicus.clinical diagnosi of presentation is difficult due to non specific signs and symptoms . In addition,laboratory diagnosis is time consuming.this matter necessitates the initiation of empirical…

surfactant administration (LISA) has been tested on preterm lambs. LISA is characterized by administering surfactant by placing a medical thin catheter through vocal cords. The technique has a high potential as it is less invasive compared to traditional intubation methods. Niemarkt et al. (2014) argue that LISA significantly improved oxygenation although led to slightly lower lung compliance rates when compared to standard technique of maintaining a stabile lung air…
