5. organ support techniques
This document discusses multiple organ support therapy in the intensive care unit. It begins by explaining that intensive care units provide the highest level of continuous patient care for severely ill patients suffering from issues like organ dysfunction. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome is a leading cause of mortality in critically ill patients. The goal of extracorporeal blood purification therapies should be multiple organ support. Various organ support therapies are described, including respiratory support, circulatory support like intra-aortic balloon pumps, renal support like hemodialysis, and liver support using techniques like molecular adsorbent recirculation systems. Nursing considerations are provided for each type of organ support therapy.
7. tpn for critically ill patients
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) involves providing patients with essential nutrients intravenously when they cannot eat normally. It is indicated when oral feeding is not possible due to conditions that prevent digestion or absorption of nutrients from food. TPN can be administered either peripherally or centrally depending on the patient's needs and condition. Close monitoring is required when a patient is on TPN to avoid complications like infection, metabolic imbalances, and overfeeding. Nutrition is an important part of medical treatment that should not be neglected for critically ill patients.
Surgical instruments, drains & catheters
This document describes various surgical instruments used in operations. It discusses forceps, scissors, scalpels, retractors, and other tools. Forceps are used for grasping, compressing, and clamping tissues. Scissors come in different styles for cutting sutures, soft tissues, or other materials. Scalpels have interchangeable handles and blades for making incisions. Retractors are employed to expose the surgical site by holding back surrounding tissues. A variety of instruments help surgeons perform tasks like excising, incising, draining, and closing wounds.
10. abg analysis
An arterial blood gas test involves puncturing an artery, usually the radial artery, to draw blood and measure acidity, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. It can help diagnose conditions, guide treatment, and monitor ventilator management. The test measures pH, pO2, pCO2, HCO3, SaO2 and base excess. Abnormal results can indicate respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis which have distinct causes, signs, and treatments. Interpreting blood gases involves assessing oxygenation, acid-base status, and whether the disturbance is primarily respiratory or metabolic in nature.
8. ventilator nursing care
The document discusses mechanical ventilation and various ventilation modes. It describes how mechanical ventilators work using positive or negative pressure to maintain oxygen delivery. Some key ventilation modes discussed include CPAP which maintains continuous elevated airway pressure, PEEP which applies positive pressure at the end of expiration, and SIMV which provides mandatory breaths at set intervals allowing spontaneous breathing in between.

Types of beds include InTouch beds with touchscreen controls, lateral tilting beds to prevent complications, and beds with fall protections. Equipment and supplies for critical care include ventilators, infusion pumps, crash carts, and diagnostic tools like mobile x-rays. Proper clinical documentation in patient records is important for patient care, legal protection, operations, research, and reimbursement. It includes history, notes, orders, reports, and discharge summaries.
Pneumomediastinum
This document discusses pneumomediastinum, beginning with its epidemiology and anatomy. It describes spontaneous pneumomediastinum, which is usually managed conservatively, as well as secondary causes like trauma. A rare form called tension pneumomediastinum requires urgent chest drain placement. The document presents a case of an elderly man with Boerhaave's syndrome who underwent multiple surgeries but ultimately passed away.
Pneumomediastinum

The document provides scenarios of common infections encountered in the ICU and reviews potential targets for antimicrobial drugs as well as how resistance can develop and spread.
Pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum
1. Pneumothorax is the presence of air in the pleural space causing lung collapse, and pneumomediastinum is the presence of air in the mediastinum.
2. Pneumothorax can be spontaneous, traumatic, or iatrogenic and is classified as primary or secondary depending on underlying lung conditions. Tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening form caused by trapped air that displaces mediastinal structures.
3. Chest x-ray is used to diagnose pneumothorax by identifying the visceral pleural line and lung collapse. Features of tension pneumothorax on x-ray include mediastinal shift and tracheal deviation. Pneum
Ecg fundamentals
The document provides an overview of electrocardiography (ECG) fundamentals. It defines what an ECG is and discusses the cardiac cycle and interpretation of different ECG components such as waves, intervals, complexes, and segments. Key points covered include the components of the ECG, abnormalities that can be identified from the ECG, cardiac electrical conduction pathways, lead placements, and common causes of ECG abnormalities.
Pneumomediastinum
1. Pneumomediastinum is caused by a rupture of the alveolus or pulmonary bleb which allows air to dissect along blood vessels into the mediastinum.
2. Presentation includes chest pain, difficulty breathing, and neck swelling. Physical exam may reveal subcutaneous air or Hamman's sign.
3. Chest CT scan can identify linear densities, the spinnaker sign, and air in the mediastinum. Treatment focuses on low pressure ventilation and drain placement if life-threatening.
The Lungs (Anatomy of the Thorax)
This document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the lungs and pleura. It details the structures of the lungs including the lobes and surfaces. It describes the pleura including its parts and recesses. It discusses applied topics like pneumothorax and proper sites for kidney operations. It also covers the movements of respiration and types that occur at different stages of life.
Imaging: Cortical Vein Thrombosis
A 35-year-old male chronic alcoholic presented with a week-long headache and blurry vision. On examination, he had right lateral rectus palsy. CT brain showed hyperdensity in the right frontal region, right transverse sinus, and hypodensity in the superior sagittal sinus, suggestive of parenchymal hemorrhage with cortical vein thrombosis or calcified granuloma. MRI brain found a hemorrhagic lesion in the right high parietal lobe, absence of flow voids in sinuses, and T1 hyperintensity in sinuses confirming sinus thrombosis, which was shown on MR venography. The patient was diagnosed with cerebral vein thrombosis based on imaging findings.

Paradigm shift in nursing research by RS MEHTA
This document discusses the need for a paradigm shift in nursing research. It notes that while efforts have been made to promote evidence-based nursing, there remains a gap between research findings and clinical practice. The document outlines different research paradigms and factors that can drive paradigm shifts, such as technological advances. It argues that paradigm shifts are important for developing up-to-date knowledge and meeting human and social needs. Some examples of potential paradigm shifts in clinical nursing after COVID-19 include increased telehealth, home-based care, and focus on infection prevention and digital health technologies.

Ph.D. Thesis on HBC by RS Mehta.pdf
This dissertation examines home-based care for people living with AIDS in rural Nepal. The study had two parts: 1) Analyzing aspects of home-based care through interviews with 125 caregivers of people with AIDS, case studies of 14 people with AIDS, and focus groups/key informant interviews. 2) Implementing an 8-week education intervention program on home-based care and evaluating its impact using pre- and post-testing. The study found many caregivers lacked training and knowledge. Caregiving was burdensome and affected caregivers' health, social life, and finances. The education program significantly improved caregivers' knowledge and outcomes related to caregiving.
