Catheter Lab Report

Intermittent catheterization, allowing the patient to be involved in the insertion and removal of a catheter, and educating patients on the use of indwelling catheters can increase human dignity and decrease catheter associated urinary tract infections. Intermittent catheterization is when a catheter is inserted to drain the bladder and is immediately taken out once the bladder is emptied. The use of intermittent catheterization over indwelling catheterization can increase human dignity, especially in home settings, by allowing patients to have more independence in their self-care (Woodward, Steggal, & Tinhunu, 2013). Indwelling catheters contain drainage systems that can be embarrassing and inconvenient for patient’s. Intermittent catheterization gets rid of the drainage systems, allowing

Scientists believed that the right ventricle had little to no role in cardiac mechanical function. However, as scientists did more research they found that the right ventricle played an important role in cardiac function. The scientists conducting this research wanted to better understand the structure and function of the RV. They studied the anatomical structure of the RV and discovered that RV has a more elaborate anatomical structure than that of the LV. The RV fibers are composed of several layers of muscle, giving the RV its shape.

After verifying the patients information, as well as possible pregnancy for females, it is important that there are no artifacts, such as jewelry or buttons, anywhere near the chest area, as they may appear on the images that are to be taken. It is important to explain the procedure that is to be performed to patient so they know what to expect and to make sure they are able to cooperate with positioning or will need assistance. The two routine chest projections that are taken by the radiographer are the posterioranterior (PA) projection as well as the lateral projection of the chest. These projections are preferred in the upright position so that any air and fluid levels can be clearly seen in the images taken, but they can also be obtained in the supine position if the patient is unable to stand, due to immobility. A 72” SID is also the distance used for this projection to minimize magnification of the heart and to get a clear image of both lungs.

On the down side, if the patient has chest pain but their blood pressure is too low, (lower than

Supraventricular Tachycardia, Pediatric Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm in children. It can make a child’s heart beat very quickly. This can be frightening, but it is rarely dangerous. Episodes of SVT start suddenly and usually go away on their own. Children with SVT usually do not have other heart abnormalities.

The Amplatz dilator set was developed to compensate for some of the deficiencies of the preexisting serial fascial dilators.27 In the amplatz system, an 8F angiographic catheter is initially inserted over the working guidewire. The progressively larger dilators then are inserted serially over this guidewire and catheter combination. This additional obturator stiffness greatly reduces the risk of perinephric guidewire buckling. The individual Amplatz dilators are also relatively rigid, and in combination with the stiffer working wire-catheter complex, they permit acute tract dilation through rigid perinephric scar tissue in nearly all patients.

The Peripheral Perfusion index (PI) is the ratio of the pulsatile blood flow to the non-pulsatile or static blood in peripheral tissue. Perfusion Index thus represents a non-invasive measure of peripheral perfusion that can be continuously and noninvasively obtained from a pulse oximeter. A site with high pulse amplitude (high PI number) generally indicates an optimal monitoring site for other pulse oximetry and Pulse CO-Oximetry measures. The fingertip is the standard monitoring site for pulse oximetry. The difference between the rate of oxygenated haemoglobin and reduced haemoglobin as arterial oxygen saturation is measured by the amount of light absorbed by the tissue when light is transmitted through the finger.

3. Results and discussion 3.1. Coagulation performance of CB[8] for HA removal The effect of the CB[8] dosage on HA coagulation in the absence of added salts in the synthetic water (fresh water) was investigated at pH 7.5. When the CB[8] dosage was less than 0.2 mmol/L, flocculation was not observed during coagulation. The HA removal efficiency was less than 50% (Fig. 1a).

By decreasing atelectasis, this decrease ventilation perfusion gap and increases gas exchange move pulmonary secretions, Increase lung compliance, Manual hyperinflation may be showed in patients demanding mechanical ventilation and self-ventilating tracheostomy patients who have Chest x-ray alter the lung collapse and consolidation or by areas which are less ventilated on auscultation. The capability to monitor patients’ response (Heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturations) is essential. Manual hyperinflation can reduce respiratory drive by decreasing the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) this is an significant concern in treatment of subject with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [1] In monitoring units physiotherapists deal with intubated patients normally with lung collapse, it is seen that furthermost of the patients went for bronchoscopy technique to expand the lung. Pulmonologists are going for bronchoscopy which is very expensive procedure and having risks of bleeding and infection.

So as to maintain the amount of light absorbed constant, both the volume and pressure applied in the finger have to be kept constant as well. The pressure that is applied produces a waveform which corresponds to the pressure of blood in the arterial which produces another waveform, to the finger. Hence the result can be displayed as waveforms and also includes the numerical values of systolic readings and diastolic readings. (Biopac, 2015) Figure 5: A finger cuff device Unlike the other methods, a finger cuff device are not used often as the data are conflicting in relation to the validity of readings taken. It is not highly recommended to users that have hypotension or those with

I have to make sure the patient is receiving enough oxygen that the heart and temperature rate is not to high or low. This is occurs when our patient is under deep surgical anesthesia. The respirations are shallower and at the lower level of the normal range, the heart rate has slowed down and the capillary refill time has increased. The muscle tone is greatly reduced. Now our patient should not be responsive to surgical manipulation and all reflexes are weakened so this is a good time for our patient’s surgical procedure to begin.

To prevent rebleeding it’s important to prevent pressure surges especially at the time of laryngoscopy and intubation. Aim was to maintain trans mural pressure gradient. Cerebral ischemia or Infarction It can occur immediately
