Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care01:29

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

410
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...

Peripheral Artery Disease V: Postoperative Nursing Management

462
During the postoperative period, it is crucial to focus on maintaining circulation, identifying and managing potential complications, and planning for discharge.Nursing AssessmentVital signs monitoring: Regularly monitor vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, to detect early signs of complications such as bleeding and infection.Circulation assessment: Monitor pulses, perform Doppler assessments, and check capillary refill, color, temperature, and...

Cardiac Catheterization I: Pre-Procedure Overview

1.8K
Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

433
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia01:16

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

1.6K
Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.
One of the advantages of...

Venous Thrombosis IV: Nursing Management01:30

Venous Thrombosis IV: Nursing Management

309
Nursing management begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's health history. Key factors include trauma to veins, peripherally inserted central catheters, varicose veins, recent pregnancy or childbirth, surgery, bacteremia, prolonged bed rest, atrial fibrillation, COPD, heart failure, cancer, coagulation disorders, myocardial infarction, spinal cord injury, stroke, prolonged travel, recent bone fractures, and dehydration. Review medication intake, particularly oral contraceptives,...

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Nursing Practice

Background:

  • Peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheterization is a frequent procedure with potential for serious, costly complications.
  • A cluster of 7 severe PIV complications from prehospital insertions prompted an investigation at a Level I trauma center.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the root causes of PIV complications.
  • To review and improve current nursing practices related to PIV insertions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the FOCUS-Plan Do Check Act (PDCA) methodology for performance improvement.
  • Monitored interventions and outcomes rigorously.

Main Results:

  • Following intervention implementation, zero PIV complications were reported for 39 consecutive months.
  • The project successfully mitigated limb-threatening infectious and noninfectious complications.

Conclusions:

  • Performance improvement initiatives can effectively reduce PIV complications in trauma centers.
  • Findings support further controlled studies to establish best practices nationally.
