Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care01:29

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

265
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...

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

167
Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

1.1K
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...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

734
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Human Medicine
  • Vascular Health

Background:

  • Phlebitis is a common complication associated with vascular catheters, particularly peripheral venous catheters (PVCs).
  • It is categorized as infectious, mechanical, or chemical, with risks amplified by catheter, patient, or drug-related factors.
  • Extravasation of certain drugs, especially chemotherapeutics, can cause severe injury.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review and synthesize the existing human and veterinary literature on phlebitis.
  • To summarize current knowledge regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of phlebitis.
  • To highlight the importance of early detection and intervention in managing phlebitis and extravasation injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of human and veterinary studies on phlebitis.
  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria, including clinical signs like erythema, swelling, edema, pain, and fever.
  • Examination of various treatment modalities, from non-pharmacologic to advanced therapies and antidotes.

Main Results:

  • Phlebitis diagnosis in humans utilizes grading scales, but veterinary-specific schemes are lacking.
  • Mild phlebitis may resolve with catheter removal; severe cases necessitate aggressive treatment escalation.
  • Antidotes exist for specific drug extravasations, and non-pharmacologic phytotherapeutics show promise in humans.

Conclusions:

  • Phlebitis and extravasation injuries contribute to significant morbidity and mortality in both species.
  • While definitive prognosis for veterinary patients remains unclear, prevention is strongly advised.
  • Early identification and prompt treatment of vascular injury are paramount for improving outcomes.
