Vital signs include temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. They are indicators of physiological functioning and health status. Vital signs should be assessed on admission, with changes in condition, and before and after procedures based on factors like medical diagnosis, comorbidities, treatment, and acuity level. There are different types of fever patterns like intermittent, remittent, sustained, and relapsing. Pulse is regulated by the autonomic nervous system and characteristics include rate, amplitude, rhythm, and regularity. Respiration involves ventilation, inhalation, exhalation, diffusion, and perfusion in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Blood pressure has a primary and secondary measurement.

This document provides guidelines for treating diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children and adolescents. It recommends:
1. Using capillary blood ketone measurements during treatment and reducing the degree of dehydration used to calculate fluid needs.
2. Starting intravenous fluids for at least an hour before beginning insulin at 0.1 units/kg/hour, and continuing insulin even after blood glucose falls below 14 mmol/L.
3. Providing potassium with rehydration fluids at 20 mmol/L and monitoring electrolytes frequently, using cardiac monitoring for changes.
4. Carefully monitoring patients for cerebral edema, a potentially fatal complication, and treating it urgently with hypertonic saline or
case histories in dengue fever
A 10-year-old boy presented with 5 days of fever, 1 day of melena, and altered consciousness for 1 hour. He was in shock and had a tender, enlarged liver. After fluid resuscitation with crystalloids and dextran, his pulses became palpable but he remained tachycardic. Over subsequent days, his platelet count and hematocrit dropped as fluid amounts were increased. He eventually required a packed red blood cell transfusion and crystalloids were gradually tapered.
Cardiovascular Nursing
The document provides an overview of the cardiovascular system, including:
- The heart which consists of four chambers and pumps blood through two separate pumps to the lungs and body.
- Key structures of the heart including the pericardium, papillary muscles, chordae tendinae, and heart valves.
- The conduction system which generates electrical signals to coordinate heart contractions including the sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, and Purkinje fibers.
- Blood flow through the heart in the normal cardiac cycle with events of ventricular filling, contraction and ejection.
Case study format (Nursing)
A case study is a research method involving an up-close, in-depth, and detailed examination of a particular case.
Ncp
The patient underwent a total thyroidectomy surgery and was experiencing several postoperative complications. The document outlines the patient's nursing care plan to address anxiety related to the surgery, pain at the surgical incision, potential bleeding, difficulty swallowing, and risk of infection at the wound site. The nursing interventions included monitoring vitals, providing pain medication, encouraging deep breathing exercises, ensuring proper positioning and diet, and assessing the surgical site. The goals were to reduce the patient's anxiety and pain levels, prevent bleeding, improve swallowing, and monitor for signs of infection.
Approach to patient with altered sensorium
An altered mental status or level of consciousness requires determining the underlying cause. The initial approach involves assessing the ABCs, giving supplemental oxygen, checking glucose, and looking for signs of infection, trauma, or drugs. Further evaluation includes detailed history, physical exam focusing on vital signs and neurological status, and diagnostic testing of blood and imaging based on suspected etiologies like metabolic derangements, medications/toxins, infections, and structural brain issues. Treatment is directed at reversing or controlling the specific cause, such as treating seizures, lowering blood pressure in hypertensive encephalopathy, or giving antibiotics for infections.
Paediatrics
Paediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the care and treatment of children from birth through adolescence. The document discusses several aspects of paediatrics including the role of doctors in caring for children's physical, mental, and emotional health. It also outlines differences in common diseases between developing and developed countries, with developing countries facing greater issues with malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea and pneumonia. Overall health and nutrition of children are influenced by factors such as poverty, lack of resources, and cultural practices in developing areas.

Pain management in emergency
The document discusses guidelines for pain management in emergency and trauma departments. It notes that pain is the most common complaint seen in emergency departments, accounting for 78% of visits. All patients have a right to pain relief, creating a duty of care for healthcare providers. Pain should be managed through a comprehensive evaluation and individualized treatment plan using a multidisciplinary approach including pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and psychological methods. Effective pain management requires anticipating patient needs, allowing patient control, and using a combination of therapies administered by a coordinated care team.
Therapeutic hypothermia
Therapeutic hypothermia, or targeted temperature management, has been shown to improve outcomes for patients who remain unconscious after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Two key studies from 2002 demonstrated improved mortality and neurological function when patients' temperatures were cooled to 32-34°C for 12-24 hours after cardiac arrest. Subsequent meta-analyses and clinical guidelines have supported induced hypothermia for unconscious cardiac arrest survivors. However, the optimal target temperature range was still unclear. A 2013 randomized controlled trial compared outcomes between unconscious cardiac arrest survivors treated with targeted temperature management at 33°C versus 36°C and found no significant difference in mortality or neurological function between the two temperature targets.

Hypervolemia (Fluid overload)
Hypervolemia, also known as fluid overload, is a condition where there is too much fluid in the blood. It is usually the result of an underlying health problem such as heart failure, cirrhosis, kidney failure, or medications. Common symptoms include edema, tiredness, high blood pressure, and shortness of breath. Treatment involves diuretics and addressing the underlying cause. Nursing care focuses on monitoring the patient's response to diuretics through weight, intake and output measurements, and educating them on diet.

tem & pulse V.S.ppt
Vital signs including temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure are key indicators of a person's physiological status and basic body functions. They are used to assess patients, make diagnoses, plan care, monitor treatment effectiveness, and track a patient's prognosis. Normal body temperature ranges from 36.5-37.5°C. Factors like age, time of day, exercise, hormones, stress, and environment can influence temperature. Common sites to check temperature include the oral cavity, rectum, axilla, ear (tympanic membrane), forehead (temporal artery), and skin. The pulse is the wave of blood created by the left ventricle contraction and reflects the heartbeat under normal conditions.

Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall.

CAPNOGRAPHY and CAPNOMETRY/ ETCO2 .pptx
End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.
