Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

286
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Introduction to Hemostasis01:05

Introduction to Hemostasis

9.8K
Hemostasis is a complex physiological process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. It's crucial for maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system, as it ensures that our blood remains fluid while still within the vascular network and yet clots to prevent blood loss upon vessel injury.
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized,...

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

173
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...

Venous Thrombosis IV: Nursing Management

43
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,...

Disorders of Hemostasis01:24

Disorders of Hemostasis

1.3K
Hemostasis, the process that stops bleeding after a blood vessel injury, is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system. However, disorders of hemostasis can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to either excessive clotting or bleeding. These disorders can be broadly classified into thromboembolic disorders and bleeding disorders.
Thromboembolic Disorders
Two factors primarily cause thromboembolic conditions.

Vascular Spasm01:16

Vascular Spasm

2.5K
The vascular phase, also known as vasospasm, is the initial stage of hemostasis, crucial for preventing excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. After a vessel is cut, nerves in the damaged area trigger pain and other sensory impulses. Simultaneously, the smooth muscles in the vessel wall contract, resulting in a vascular spasm. This contraction reduces the vessel's diameter at the injury site, slowing or stopping blood loss through the vessel wall. Vascular spasms typically last...

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • The Stop the Bleed (STB) initiative, born from the Hartford Consensus, has trained over a million individuals in hemorrhage control.
  • A significant need exists to evaluate the real-world application of STB training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the utilization rate of bleeding control techniques learned in the Stop the Bleed course.
  • To determine the outcomes of patients treated by individuals who applied STB training.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was emailed to individuals who completed the STB course at the institution in 2017-2018.
  • Data collection was managed via the REDCap system, followed by statistical analysis.

Main Results:

  • Out of 2505 surveys sent, 445 (18%) were returned. Respondents had a mean age of 48, with 77% female and 52% in the medical field.
  • A total of 17 respondents (3.8%) reported using STB techniques, including wound pressure (16), wound packing (7), and tourniquet application (6).
  • Patients sustained injuries from various mechanisms; 14 out of 17 had good outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The Stop the Bleed course empowers bystanders to manage hemorrhage effectively.
  • The study demonstrates practical application of STB skills, with a 3.8% utilization rate comparable to cardiopulmonary resuscitation training (2%), leading to positive patient outcomes.
