I. Introduction of EB problem to be researched The topic of choice is urinary catheters. Many patients have or will have catheters in their hospital stay or in their lifetime. Catheters come in a variety of different types of shapes and tips. A one-way catheter also known as a “straight cath” is a quick way to get urine out of the bladder for clean collection or to just remove urine. The one-way catheter does not have a balloon at the tip, therefore, it does not remain in the patient. The two-way

Today, I am going to speak about laparoscopic surgery, also known as the keyhole surgery. I will talk about what it is, how it came about, how it is used and what it is used for. Laparoscopic surgery is one type of surgical method that is used to diagnose several diseases and also a kind of surgery method. Laparoscopic surgery is a surgical procedure where small incisions of 0.5-1.5cm are made and surgeons use laparoscope with a small camera and also light source to see inside the abdomen without

source of light (endoscope) are inserted into patient body through a small (0.5 - 1.5 cm) incisions. The general name we use for MIS procedures is Endoscopy and depending on the body part operated we use different name (laparoscopy - abdominal or pelvic, arthroscopy - joint interiors, etc.) and instruments. There are some obvious advantages of Endoscopy over open surgery, advantages such as: reduced surgical trauma, decreased blood loss, smaller wound and consequent pain, less demand for painkillers

This week I had the opportunity to spend some time in both the OR and Endoscopy unit. Going into the practice days I was excited and optimistic about what I was going to take away from the experience, as I considered my possible future in working in the operative setting. However, by the second day of practice, I realized that I wasn’t overly excited about either of the units and that the expectations I had set out, didn’t quite match up like I had hoped. Even though I don’t feel as though nursing

Endoscopy treatments includes use of endoscopic ultra sound and other tools. Besides general lab test endoscopic surgeries are performed in this region hence this are again interdependent on perioperative unit for treatment through multiple phases of post and pre anesthesia care. Figure 9 shows a 3D view of Endoscopy unit, this unit has two operating rooms. All the interdependent units work on their own specific times, working times of each unit are scheduled using schedules under data tab. Each

Sinus Endoscopy Sinus endoscopy is a procedure that looks into your sinuses. Your sinuses are air-filled spaces in your skull behind the bones of your face and forehead that open into your nasal cavity. This procedure uses an instrument called an endoscope. An endoscope is a narrow, flexible telescope with a bright light.

reevaluate the risks and benefits of restarting aspirin. Discontinuation of low dose aspirin significantly increases risk of death and acute cardiovascular events (27). Aspirin for secondary cardiac prophylaxis should be withheld for 3 days after endoscopy for those with high risk of rebleeding and immediately resumed along with PPI for those with low risk of rebleeding (7, 28). The need for NSAIDs should be carefully evaluated in patients with NSAID associated bleeding ulcers. Those who need NSAIDs

with specific language in the propofol package insert (123). In 2010 members of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE), the European Society of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Nurses and Associates (ESGENA) and the European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) published a guideline on non-anesthesiologist administration of propofol for gastrointestinal endoscopy (95). However, at the ESA General Assembly held in Amsterdam on 15 June 2011, the majority of the active members approved

Blood is one of the most important liquid inside the human body, it has about 4-6 L of blood. Blood circulate inside our body. Losing blood could be really dangerous because blood is liquid that circulate the oxygen inside the human body and the blood wont also circulate which will make the heart stop to pump. Open surgery is one of the cause why people could experience blood loss. Blood loss will occur when an open surgery is preceded, the doctor need to open the layer of skin one by one. Every

her do any procedures on her. Dr. Lawrence Cohen then took over to do the endoscopy in an effort to discover why Joan’s voice was raspy and hoarse. He allegedly found something during his examination and Dr. Korovin did another laryngoscopy. No one noticed Joan’s vital signs failing as her vocal cords swelled and cut off her air supply. Dr. Cohen resigned his duties as a doctor and medical director of the Yorkville Endoscopy in September. Dr. Gwen Korovin continued to practice

Crohn’s Disease Elayne Christophers, MA Alaska Career College Named after Dr. Burrill B. Crohn, who first described the disease in 1932 along with colleagues Dr. Leon Ginzburg and Dr. Gordon D. Oppenheimer, Crohn’s disease belongs to a group of conditions known as Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. When reading about inflammatory bowel diseases, it is important to know that Crohn’s disease is not the same thing

REVIEW OF LITERATURE In the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage, there was a group of five people who landed onto a submarine called Proteus and were shrunk into microscopic size. They were then injected into the body of a scientist and their mission was to save him from the blood clot in the brain. All that seemed quite thrilling stuff then — but now a part of that sci-fi fantasy has come true with the smart pills. We all are familiar with ordinary pills available in the market, but have you ever thought

Abstract Barrett’s Esophagus is a condition characterized by damage and cell replacement of the tissues in the lower esophagus often associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Affecting over 5% of the population of the United States, Barrett’s Esophagus is most commonly found among older men who have GERD, are overweight or obese, and who smoke cigarettes.

We can use biologic drugs when other types of medications have not worked well enough.Crohn 's disease symptoms and complications are

Throughout the centuries, medical doctors have researched on live animals to find cure to several diseases which affect both the animals and humans. Even though many people endure this practice as noble, some people still look down at animal experimentation as a cruel and inhumane treatment to animals. The government has already authorized animal experimentation to mitigate the unrest by those people. In fact, The Animal Welfare Act covered most lab animals, and provided guidelines for pain alleviation

careers I am most interested in are CRNA(Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) and PA(Physician Assistant). I became interested in becoming a CRNA after I had an endoscopy and learned that such a career existed. When I was being put under, the CRNA did most of the work to give me anesthesia and was the one that stayed during the endoscopy to monitor me, not the anesthesiologist. She was also the one that was there when I woke up.CRNA’s attend school for 6-7 years, so they have their master’s degree
