Ventricular fibrillation

Question 1 According to Mrs Brown’s clinical manifestations it can be diagnosed that she has pulmonary oedema. Congestive heart failure happens when the heart is unable to pump blood productively causing the backup of blood, which increases the blood pressure and causes fluids to collect in the alveoli in the lungs which leads to pulmonary oedema. According to the clinical manifestations Mrs Brown had an increased heart rate of 120 beats/minute, the increased heart rate is the heart beating…

The circulatory system is the system that transports nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormone. It also helps fight disease, maintain body temperature, pH, and homeostasis. There are two systems that make up the circulatory system which are the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system. The circulatory system moves blood through the body and is made up of the heart, blood vessels and the blood. The lymphatic system moves lymph to various parts of the body and is formed by the lymph, lymph…

dropped in the water.The manner of her death was accidental. Whereas, the mechanism of her death is whatever physiological or biochemical effect that electrocution had on her body. Electrocution can cause a current to run through the heart - ventricular fibrillation - causing death. Death can also occur as a result of the electricity passing through the brain. Therefore, any one of these options may have been the mechanism of her…

Heart failure (HF) is a complex and progressive clinical syndrome that can result from any structural abnormality or functional impairment of ventricular filling or ejection of blood.1 The term “heart failure” is preferred over “congestive heart failure” because some patients may show no signs or symptoms of volume overload.1 An estimated 5.1 million Americans >20 yrs of age have HF based on NHANES 2007-2010 data.2 By 2030, projection show that the prevalence of HF will increase 25% from…

Code Blue-Where To? This is a review of the case study Code Blue-Where To?, The patient in this case is an 80 year old patient admitted to a psychiatric facility, who ultimately dies. His death is not the fault of the medical staff, but the care he received prior to his death was plagued with system errors and communication breakdowns that could be argued as causing undue patient harm. The errors include problems with staff training, policy and procedures, outdated equipment, and failure to…

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is an emergency procedure taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing for someone who is in cardiac arrest (“Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation”). Cardiac arrest is the sudden loss of blood flow from the heart’s spontaneous shut down (“Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation”). Some people think of the fake dummies used in CPR classes or learning about it at swim lessons. Some people think of Bee Gee’s song “Stayin’ Alive”, but there’s a lot more to…

really short of breath. As the ER nurse left to get him admitted into the hospital Mr. Smith got really deprived of breath and he fell to the floor. When the ER nurse noticed she performed an emergency EKG on Mr. Smith and noticed he was on ventricular fibrillation so she and another ER nurse defibrillated him and she ran an EKG on him right after. She then noticed that in the EKG a convex ST elevation was shown which meant Mr. Smith was having an MI at the moment. The nurse administered aspirin…

Heart Failure- Case Study [Name of Writer] [Name of Institution] Heart failure Clinical Course of Care Clinical course of care means how the disease changes its behavior from time to time; it may improve or deteriorate, depending on the care that is being provided. Clinical guidelines should be followed, but the team has to practice the best individualized care in order to treat the patient well. Clinical guidelines based on heart failure are the primary focus of several medical platforms.…

pulmonary and/ or systemic congestion and edema helping with the dyspnea associated wit h the congestion. e. Heparin infusion is indicated as patients with heart failure are at greater risk for developing venous thromboembolism, stroke and atrial fibrillation. This anticoagulant therefore is needed and is part of a guideline on the use of thromboprophylaxis for John. f. ECG and cardiac enzymes (CK, CKMB, Troponin) every six (6) hours. ECG is a test that records the rhythm and electrical…
