Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection FractionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 184-188 - 2019
Michelle Mitchell
The incidence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF] is
rapidly increasing, yet many physicians may feel less knowledgeable about HFpEF
when compared with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF]. The
purpose of this review is to discuss the incidence, pathophysiology, clinical
diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients with HFpEF. Despite an
increasing understa... hiện toàn bộ
Complications of Intraosseous Catheterization in Adult Patients: A Review of the LiteratureSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 35-48 - 2023
Alessandra Palazzolo, Katherine G. Akers, James H. Paxton
Therapeutic intraosseous (IO) infusion of fluids and medications can be
life-saving under emergent conditions, but may be associated with specific
complications. We sought to determine the rate of complications associated with
IO use in adult subjects as reported in the existing English-language
literature. Most previous reviews of complications associated with IO catheter
use have either focused ... hiện toàn bộ
The Use of Wearable ECG Devices in the Clinical Setting: a ReviewSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 67-72 - 2022
Paola Kamga, Rasik Mostafa, Saba Zafar
This review investigates the use of wearable electrocardiograms (ECGs) in the
clinic and acute care setting, and their impact on patient care, particularly
pertaining to the management of cardiac arrhythmias. Wearable ECGs have
consistently demonstrated their non-inferiority in detecting arrhythmias when
compared to the current standard of care. Different studies have highlighted
their ability to ... hiện toàn bộ
The Chronic Pain Patient in the Emergency DepartmentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 33-39 - 2016
Saurin Bhatt
Pain presentations are very common in the emergency department (ED), of which an
estimated 12–16 % of total ED visits are from patients with chronic pain-related
complaints (McLeod and Nelson in Australas Emerg Nurs J 16:30–36, 2013). The ED
physician frequently has few tools to manage chronic pain patients, and is often
times limited to pharmacological means of alleviating the patient’s suffering... hiện toàn bộ
Clostridium difficile Colitis, Treatment and ManagementSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 141-144 - 2013
Robert Hasty, Vincenzo Barbato, Pedro Valdes, Christopher Sitler
Clostridium difficile is a gram positive, anaerobic, spore forming bacilli,
which is an ever-present danger within hospitalized patients accounting for
~15,000 deaths each year in the United States CDC (MMWR 61:157–162, 2012).
Clostridium difficile infection is generally defined by the presence of
diarrhea, leukocytosis and testing positive for the organism’s toxin via toxin
assay. As with most ba... hiện toàn bộ
The Two-Midnight Rule: A ReviewSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 6-10 - 2015
Elisabeth S. Cooke, B. Justin Krawitt
Many years ago, The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) created a
system where patients who did not meet specific criteria were determined to be
‘outpatients’ and placed under observation status in the hospital. This status
was intended as enhanced outpatient treatment to rule out a diagnosis. The
original definition of observation status has, however, transformed to a system
where ‘ou... hiện toàn bộ
Haemodynamic Assessment in Cardiogenic ShockSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 214-226 - 2019
Hoong Sern Lim
This review will discuss the practical applications based on the physiology that
underpins some of these commonly used haemodynamic parameters. Haemodynamic
parameters are integral to the management of cardiogenic shock. Some of these
are easily measured and ubiquitous, such as arterial blood pressure and central
venous pressure. Others, such as the use of pulmonary artery catheters, continue
to b... hiện toàn bộ
Implantable Cardiac Devices and the Acute Care Management of Decompensated Heart FailureSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 105-111 - 2013
Brian Hiestand, Said Laribi, Alexandre Mebazaa
The use of implantable cardiac devices in patients with chronic heart failure is
on the rise. These devices perform a number of functions including pacing,
defibrillation, and data collection. While referral for consideration of such
devices can occur on an outpatient basis, an encounter in the acute care setting
may be the one opportunity for getting an appropriate patient to the right
device the... hiện toàn bộ
