Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

614
Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Pulmonary Embolism III: Nursing Management

602
A pulmonary embolism occurs when a thrombus, amniotic fluid, tumor tissue, fat, or air embolus blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. Effective nursing management and patient education are crucial for improving outcomes and preventing recurrence.Nursing management starts with obtaining a comprehensive patient history, particularly noting any history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Assess for clinical manifestations, including dyspnea, chest pain, crackles, heart murmurs, and signs of right-sided...

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

723
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 III: Interprofessional Care

449
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...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • The spleen is crucial for immune and blood functions.
  • Blunt splenic trauma is common and can cause severe bleeding.
  • Splenic artery embolization (SAE) offers an alternative to splenectomy, avoiding infectious risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of splenic artery embolization (SAE).
  • To discuss SAE in trauma and nontraumatic conditions.
  • To cover technical considerations and management for SAE.

Main Methods:

  • Evidence-based review of SAE literature.
  • Discussion of splenic artery anatomy and collateral pathways.
  • Comparison of proximal and distal embolization techniques.

Main Results:

  • SAE is effective for trauma and nontraumatic splenic conditions.
  • Preserving collateral flow is vital for minimizing complications.
  • Various indications include hypersplenism, portal hypertension, and splenic aneurysms.

Conclusions:

  • SAE is a versatile procedure for splenic disorders.
  • Careful technique and management optimize outcomes.
  • Further research may refine SAE protocols.
