Pulse oximeter

Conclusion My hypothesis stated that Digitalis and Furosemide will both work upon the patient’s left side heart failure. However, the experiment concluded that only Digitalis was effective upon the patient’s condition. Administration of Furosemide led to a relatively quick death of the patient. I did not expect the patient to die while being administered Furosemide. In fact, I had hypothesized that while both drugs would work effectively upon the patient, that the Furosemide would work at a…

when I noticed that one of the vented patient’s pulse oximeter (ox) pleth was showing many artifacts and the saturation was 88. The other ICU nurse who was assigned to this patient was attending to a different patient, so I decided to check on the patient. I suctioned the patient, applied a new finger pulse ox, and noticed that patient pulse ox saturation started to drop. While I was assessing the patient, I noticed that the patient’s pulse oximeter (ox) saturation drop to 84, I called for help…

Health care affects us all whether we like it or not. Health care is a very controversial topic because many are not happy with the new “Obama care” coverage due to the fact that it requires state funding. Some tax payers do not feel they should be responsible for paying for people who need health coverage. Individuals that go long periods of time without regular check-ups are at risk for medical conditions that require serious extensive medical treatment. Personally, I believe that everyone…

to be recorded are heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, blood pressure and pulses (radial and pedal). If there are changes in the baseline vitals, the nurse can then take measures to provide the appropriate care. Prioritizing is the nurses main duty in each and every patient she treats, it can literally mean life or death. If a patient came into the ER with shortness of breath, checking their pulse first would not be the priority and can potentially harm the patient if the assessment…

Marlboro states that he is breathing has improved and is responding to all medication. HR- 120, RR-21, BP 140/81, temp 99.0, pulse oximeter reads 95%. Over the next 24 hours the patient steadily improved. Breath sounds, vitals, and labs are back to normal for a patient with COPD. Patient will continue 500mg Azithromycin for the next 6 days. His oxygen has been lowered to 2L/min. The…

assessment of a patient. They are useful in monitoring and detecting medical problems. They can help to identify acute medical problems and the severity. Vital signs include a reading of temperature, respiration rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, pulse and pain. Various equipment and producers are used when taking vital signs. Temperature There are…

During my clinical rotation at Palmetto Richland on the Acute Care for the Elderly unit there were several patients on contact precautions due primarily to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or high counts of gram-positive Escherichia coli bacterium (E. coli) in the urine and blood. A good example of best practice that I witnessed was the proper display and implementation of contact precautions around patients with multidrug-resistant organisms and bacteria (MDROs). If a patient…

Kofi Gyamfi: Make-up Assignment Cooper Madison, a 6-year-old Caucasian male, arrived at the emergency department at 1045 Tuesday with a closed head injury and concussion, related to a fall from a tree house. A CT scan indicated possible skull fracture and subdural hematoma. A C-spine ruled out spinal fracture. While still in the emergency department, Cooper experienced an unwitnessed seizure. At 1300 Tuesday, Cooper was admitted to the pediatric unit. He has showed signs of decreasing…
