Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

749
Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

482
Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

884
Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Obstetric hemorrhage remains a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality.
  • Traditional surgical interventions for severe obstetric bleeding can lead to hysterectomy and impact future fertility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical profile and outcomes of patients undergoing angiographic embolization for obstetric hemorrhage.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of uterine artery embolization in controlling severe obstetric bleeding.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 35 patients who underwent uterine artery embolization for obstetric hemorrhage.
  • Data collected from August 2005 to August 2010.
  • Included cases of postpartum, post-cesarean, postabortal, cervical, and abdominal pregnancies.

Main Results:

  • Successful hemorrhage control was achieved in all 35 patients.
  • No patient required a post-procedure hysterectomy.
  • One patient successfully conceived and became pregnant within a year post-embolization.

Conclusions:

  • Angiographic embolization is a superior first-line alternative to surgery for managing obstetric hemorrhage.
  • Embolization effectively controls bleeding in various obstetric scenarios, including postpartum, post-cesarean, and postabortal bleeding.
  • This interventional technique preserves the uterus and fertility, preventing hysterectomy.
