Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a common and potentially life threatening condition arising from a variety of pathological conditions including traumatic brain injury (TBI), intracranial hemorrhage, disturbance of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) circulation and brain tumors. Although ventriculostomy continues to be the gold standard modality, the potential risks of misplacement, infection, hemorrhage and obstruction have led to development and implementation of alternative intracranial…

Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME), also called Irvine-Gass syndrome, was identified and described for the first time by Irvine-Gass in the 20th century.1 Although the occurrence of PCME has declined with the use of modern surgical techniques, it is still recognized as one of the most common causes of poor visual outcome following cataract surgery.2 The pathogenetic mechanism underlying this syndrome remains unclear, although several factors have been identified potentially capable of…

INTRODUCTION The aim of this review is to employ relevant primary literature resources to discuss the potentials of multidisciplinary cardiopulmonary care teams in cardiovascular life support and resuscitation towards patient mortality reduction and achievement of positive neurological outcomes after a cardiopulmonary arrest. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of more than 17.3 million annual deaths, representing 31% of global mortality rate, with nearly 801000 American deaths…

Embase, Psychinfo, Cochrane Library, AMED, and CINAHL. The average salt intake recommendation is around 5-6 grams, but most Americans exceed 6 grams of salt on a daily basis. This has resulted in a correlation between high salt intake and high blood pressure, leading to cardiovascular diseases. Suggestions have been made about…

Introduction Heart failure (HF) is a growing epidemic today as people are living longer with the diagnosis. In 2013, it was estimated that over 550,000 new cases of HF arise annually in the United States.1 Globally, the prevalence of HF is over 23 million.1 The American Heart Association defines heart failure as a syndrome resulting from “any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill or eject blood.” 1 In essence, the heart fails to meet the…

Introduction / 5p- 1200w The most frequent cause of sudden cardiac death is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), mainly in young people. It is characterized by thickening in the left ventricle (LV) wall not related to load condition such as aortic stenosis or systemic hypertension (Bing, Knott et al. 2000). It is estimated that approximately one in 500-1000 population. HCM is a complex genetic inherited cardiovascular disease caused by dominate mutation in coding of cardiac sarcomere proteins gene…

Thank you for responding on my post. I agreed your statement that heart failure is complex diagnosis also pharmacological treatments depends on the condition type, severity, etiology. Heart failure is one of the most frequent cardiac diagnosis for hospitalization to patient, the undesirable effect of long term coronary artery disease also increase prevalence of heart failure (Ciccone,2016). Congestive heart failure (CHF) or heart failure most commonly refer as decompensation and cardiac…

During one year, the heart initiates approximately 32 million heartbeats to pump blood around the body, beating a total of 60-80 times per minute at a normal pace. It is a highly efficient organ and constantly works to keep our blood circulation going and ourselves alive. The high efficiency of the heart pumping system originates in a conductive system, which is linked to the Sinoatrial (S-A) and Atrioventricular (A-V) node. The Sinoatrial node, also known as the natural cardiac pacemaker, is…

will make a definitive diagnosis of high blood pressure after taking several measurements. Health care experts will work with you to create a management plan built on whether you were detected with primary or secondary high blood pressure and if there is a supposed or recognized reason. Treatment procedures might go forward up until blood pressure management is accomplished. If your health care provider detects you with secondary high blood pressure, he or she will work to treat the other…

If the blood pressure maintains to be high it could lead to rebleeding and hematoma expansion (Urden el at., 2014). The goals for this patient was to keep the blood pressure bellow 160. If the patient blood pressure was above 160 the physician ordered hydralazine 10mg= 0.5 ml to be administer. Hydralazine is a vasodilator and decreases the blood pressure (Urden el at., 2014). Furthermore, the nurse could provide a restful surrounding…
