Frustration and Conflict: Avoidance-Avoidance, Double-Approach Avoidance01:14

Frustration and Conflict: Avoidance-Avoidance, Double-Approach Avoidance

612
Avoidance-avoidance conflict refers to a psychological situation where a person must choose between two or more unpleasant alternatives. These conflicts are particularly stressful because neither option is desirable. This dilemma is often expressed in sayings like "caught between a rock and a hard place" or "between the devil and the deep blue sea." For instance, individuals who fear dental procedures may find themselves torn between enduring a painful toothache or facing the...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

5.4K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

662
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications

2.1K
For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Central vein catheterization is a frequent procedure in hospitalized patients for venous access.
  • Complications include bleeding, thrombosis, infection, and guidewire loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of a lost guidewire during femoral venous catheterization.
  • To highlight guidewire embolization as a preventable iatrogenic complication.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a patient undergoing femoral venous catheterization.
  • Review of potential complications associated with central venous access procedures.

Main Results:

  • A complete guidewire embolization occurred during femoral venous catheterization.
  • This complication can be asymptomatic and remain undetected for extended periods.

Conclusions:

  • Guidewire embolization is a completely preventable complication of central venous catheterization.
  • Awareness and careful technique are crucial to avoid this iatrogenic mishap.
