Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Meaning, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Mor...The Lifesciences Magazine
Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the legs. These clots can impede blood flow, leading to severe complications.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. Patient assessment
If you find someone collapsed, you
can use DR ABC to help you
remember what actions to take.
● Danger
● Response
● Airway
● Breathing
● Call / Commence
CPR
3. FIRSTAIDPOWERPOI
Danger
Ensure there are no dangers to yourself, other bystanders
or the patient
Ask yourself - why has the patient collapsed? Are there
any hazards? Am I at risk?
Dangers could include moving vehicles, electricity, water,
other people or smoke/fire
Only enter a situation if it is safe to do so. Remember, you
are the most important person.
4. Response
Try and wake the victim up - are they responding to
you?
Kneel by their head, shout loudly in both ears and
tap them on the shoulders.
If you do not get aa response, the patient is
unconscious. This is an emergency.
Try and attract attention to yourself/the patient by
shouting for help. However, do not leave the
patient.
5. Airway
When a patient is unconscious, their tongue can fall
backwards and block their airway. This can cause an
obstruction and the victim will quickly suffocate.
To open an unconscious patient’s airway, place one hand
on their forehead and tilt their head backwards.
Then place two fingers on the bony part of their chin and
lift it.
This is known as the “head tilt, chin lift” maneuver.
7. Breathing
Keep your hands on the person’s head/chin. Place your cheek above their
mouth and look at their chest.
Look, listen and feel for normal, regular breathing for up to 10 seconds.
8. Call for Help
If the victim is not breathing normally, immediately call for emergency
medical help if this has not already been done.
Ensure the call operator is informed the victim is not breathing.
Ensure you know the best emergency service number to use.
9. Calling for Emergency Help
Give clear, precise information about
– The exact location of the incident and any access problems
– The number of casualties / people involved
– The nature of their injuries
– The age of the victims
– Any hazards at the incident (e.g: spilt fuel, fire, electricity)
If the area is remote or difficult to access,
consider sending someone to meet the
emergency services.
10. Commence CPR
After an ambulance has been called, you should
immediately commence CPR.
First, you should give 30 chest compressions
Place your hands in the centre of the person’s chest, over
the breastbone (sternum)
Interlock your fingers
Push down to a depth of 5 – 6cm
Ensure you release fully after each compression. Do
not ‘lean’ on the victim’s chest.
Push down 30 times at a rate of 100 - 120 compressions /
minute
11. CPR: Rescue Breaths
If you have been trained in CPR and are willing to,
give two rescue breaths after every thirty chest
compressions.
Tilt the patient’s head backwards, life their chin and
then pinch their nose
Make a seal over their mouth and breath in for
approximately one second. Do not overinflate the
patient’s chest – you are not blowing up a balloon!
12. CPR
Continue the cycle of 30 chest
compressions to 2 rescue breaths until
help arrives.
If there is more than one first aider, swap
over doing chest compressions every two
minutes.
25. Fainting
– Check for breathing
– Administer CPR if
necessary
– Call if more than
a few minutes
– If conscious, lay the
victim down with feet
elevated
26. Bee Sting
• Remove the stinger with sterile gauze, meanwhile avoiding
pressure on the affected area or using tweezers.
• Wash the affected area with soap and water.
• Apply ice packs or cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Avoid scratching the sting area. This will worsen itching and
swelling and increase your risk of infection.
• Take an over-the-counter pain reliever as needed, such as
acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help ease discomfort.
• When swelling moves to other areas of the body, or when the
person has breathing difficulty, nausea, or dizziness, s/he should
seek emergency immediately; because the person suffers from a
severe allergic reaction to bee stings, and must be treated
instantly.
• A severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to bee stings is
potentially life-threatening and requires emergency treatment.
27. Snake Bite
• Call an ambulance straight away.
• Keep the bitten person still and calm, as this can help slow down
the spread of venom in the body.
• Wash the bite area with soap and water immediately.
• Keep the affected area below the heart level to reduce the flow
of venom.
• Cover the bite with clean gauze.
• Avoid touching or pressing the affected area.
• Avoid injuring the affected area or sucking poison from it.
• Avoid applying ice or soaking the wound in a water.
• Avoid drinking caffeinated beverages.
• Remember the color and shape of the snake; as this can help
with treatment of the snakebite.
28. Scorpion Sting
• Call an ambulance straight away.
• Apply ice packs to the affected area, but
avoid soaking it in cold water.
• Keep the victim still and calm.
• Avoid taking sedatives.
