The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

RGGPG AYU. COLLEGE & HOSPITAL PAPROLA, KANGRA(HP)
2. Objectives
Define intravenous infusion
Explain the purpose for intravenous therapy
Explain types of intravenous fluids
List equipment needed for an intravenous infusion
Calculate the flow rate for an infusion
Describe complications that may arise during &
following transfusion
3. Definition & Introduction
Intravenous therapy is frequently used with
hospitalized patients to prevent , or treat fluid and
electrolyte imbalances
It is introduction of fluids into the patient using an
intravenous route
The nurse is responsible for initiating , monitoring
and discontinuing the intravenous infusion
4. PURPOSE
To provide patient with fluid when adequate fluid intake
cannot be achieved through oral route
When the patient is unable to swallow, e.g. unconscious
patient
When it is undesirable for the patient to take fluids or food
by mouth e.g. post operative patients
To keep the vein open for administration of drugs or when
waiting for blood transfusion
To maintain and correct electrolyte s of the body when the
patient is losing fluids or salts in excess like in persistent
diarrhoea and vomiting , in severe burns
5. TYPES
Isotonic solutions:
• They have the same osmotic pressure as that found within the
cell.
• Used to expand intravascular compartment and thus
increasing circulating volume. e,.g. normal saline(0.9%
NaCl) and Ringers lactate.
• They are also known as plasma expanders.
6. Hypotonic fluids
• Have less osmotic pressure than the cell,
• when infused it raises serum osmolarity pressure than
the cell, causing body fluids to shift out of blood vessels
e.g. 5% dextrose in water.
• Hypertonic fluids:
• Have great osmotic pressure than the cell.
• When infused it raises serum osmolarity pressure,
pulling fluids from cells and interstitial tissues into
vascular space, e.g 5% dextrose in normal saline , 10%
dextrose etc.
7. EQUIPMENTS
Small sterile tray with Bowl of swabs, receiver,
Galipot with skin disinfectants, a pair of sterile gloves.
Adhesive padded splint to secure the arm or leg
A litre of solution to be used , tourniquet, sterile giving
set, source of light, fluid balance sheet, drip stand,
screen.
8. PROCEDURE
• Explain the procedure to the patient
• Screen the bed to ensure privacy
• Assemble all necessary equipment on trolley
• Move the trolley to the bed side of the patient
• Connect giving set to the infusion bottle and suspend it
to a drip stand prior to insertion of IV Canula
• Expel air from giving set and clamp to avoid continuos
overflowing of fluid.
9. PROCEDURE CONT.
• Select site for giving infusion
• Wash hands with soap and water and dry them with
clean towel or air dry.
• Put on sterile gloves
• Assistant should apply tourniquet to the limb
• Swab the insertion area with spirited swab
• Insert a canula or a butterfly needle into identified
vein and make sure blood comes out
10. PROCEDURE CONT.
• Release the tourniquet
• Withdraw needle slowly
• Connect the infusion set to a canula/ butterfly needle
• Secure the needle with strapping
• Splint and immobilise the limb if necessary
• Recheck infusion rate
11. DOCUMENTATION
Label intravenous infusion bottle and record on fluid
balance sheet, include:
Type of solution, time of commencement, time of
completion of each litre, flow rate, medication added if
any,
Record the procedure, interpret and report
observations accordingly.
12. CALCULATING FLOW RATE
• Drops per minute=total volume to be infused multiplied
by drop factor then divide the result by total time in
minutes.
• The size of the drop that the administration set creates s
known as the drop factor usually found on the
packaging of the administration set.
13. EXAMPLE
To calculate the drip rate of an i.v that is to
infuse 1000ml in 8 hours using the tubing
that has drop factor of 10 :
=1000ml X 10drops/ml / 8hr X 60 Min
= 10000 drops / 480 Min
= 21 drops / min
14. FACTOS AFFECTING THE
INFUSION RATE
• Height of the intravenous bottle
• Intravenous infusion is affected by gravity as the height
of the infusion bottle increases, gravitation force
increases.
• Position of the extremity: As the extremity is elevated
infusion will run more slowly, also bending the
extremity, wrist or elbow can slow the infusion rate.
15. CONT.
• Constriction or kinking of intravenous tubing : This
can also affect the flow rate of an infusion
• The position of the needle within the vein e.g.
sometimes positional changes can cause the needle
bevel to rest against the vein wall interfering with
entry of an infusion.
16. INTRAVENOUS SITE CARE
Semi permeable dressings are used to cover the
intravenous site sometimes gauze dressings are also
preferred.
17. COMPLICATIONS
• An important nursing responsibility is monitoring the
patient for possible intravenous complications which
include:
• infiltration, phlebitis, infection, air embolism and fluid
overload.
INFILTRATION:
o Occurs when fluid enters subcutaneous tissues. This can
occur when needle or catheter slips out of the vein or if
intravenous fluid slips into subcutaneous tissue.
18. COMPLICATIONS CONT.
PHLEBITIS
o This refers to inflammation of a vein. If a blood clot
accompanies the inflammation, it is referred to as
thrombophlebitis.
o Factors contributing to phlebitis include; increased
length of time the catheter is in the vein, using small
veins, infusion irritating substances like potassium
chloride or antibiotics.
19. COMPLICATIONS CONT.
INFECTION:
o Can occur systemically or at the infusion site. The
longer an iv line is at one site, the greater the chances of
developing infection.
o Signs of infection include: redness, warm site, purulent
discharge.
o Systemic site are fever, chills and discomfort.
20. AIR EMBOLISM
o This refers to air entering the blood system and moving
in the blood vessel.
FLUID OVERLOAD:
o May occur if the patient receives i.v fluids too rapidly.
The elderly especially those with poor cardiac function
and the young are prone to fluid overload.
21. DISCONTINUING
INFUSION
• An intravenous infusion is discontinued when ordered
fluids have been infused or a complication develop.
• Before discontinuing an infusion it is important to done
disposable gloves since contact with blood is more
likely
• Stop the flow ,carefully remove tape, place gauze over
the venipuncture as catheter is withdrawn.
