Abstract:
Oxaliplatin-induced hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs), though rare, can cause life-threatening cardiopulmonary arrest. This case underscores the importance of early identification of at-risk patients by oncologists, nurses, and pharmacists. Timely intervention and vigilance, particularly through effective multidisciplinary collaboration, facilitate the recognition and management of acute cardiac toxicity, prevent severe cardiovascular events, reduce chemotherapy-related allergic complications, and improve patient outcomes.

Respiratory Assessment: Purpose and Indications
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...
Acute Respiratory Failure-II
The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:
Acute Respiratory Failure-III
Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists
Pneumothorax-I
Pneumothorax can be even further classified as spontaneous, traumatic, and tension pneumothorax.
Acute Respiratory Failure-I
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...
