Compare The Pathophysiology Of Chronic Venous Insufficiency And Deep Venous Thrombosis. Describe How Venous Thrombosis Is Different From Arterial Thrombosis. There are various similarities and differences between the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. In order to appreciate the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency, it’s important to understand the peripheral venous systems which act as a reservoir and conduit system for storing blood and returning it to the heart. For this system to function properly, it needs a series of valves and muscular pumps that convey blood from the lower-extremity levels of the venous system, ...

Abstract

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an infection which often develops as a result of poor handling of mechanical ventilation. Such as, poor nursing practice in caring for patients with difficulty in breathing can lead to microorganisms entering patient’s body through a tube inserted especially via mouth and nose of the patient. When these microorganisms get into the respiratory system they cause lung infection which is referred to as ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). In preventing this infection, it is important that nurses adopt best practices to reduce the incidence of VAP and provide quality care that is aimed at improving the ...

Pathophysiology of Chronic venous insufficiency and Deep venous thrombosis

Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition that describes a dysfunction of the valves in the upper and lower extremities or the inability of the muscles in these regions to exert the required pressure that can force the flow of blood back into the heart. Essentially, the arteries are designed to supply oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body while the veins are designed to transport the oxygen-deficient blood back into the heart (McPhee& Hammer, 2010). These processes are enhanced by the pressure exerted by the underlying muscles within the upper and lower extremities as well as the ability ...

The case of James a 48 year old male is a case of a patient with DVT but with little information. This man is a lawn tennis player with some issues that made him visit the emergency room and had the boot placed on him for 4 weeks duration. It was after that episode of medical management that he noticed a form of ankle to calf swelling on one of the legs. The swelling was really abnormal in terms of size hence he needs to see the doctor urgently. Despite swelling and the test such as ultrasound done, the extent of severity to him ...

Abstract

Factor V Leiden is a genetic mutation that confers resistance to the action of activated protein C and thus predisposes to venous thromboembolism. It’s inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and is prevalent amongst Caucasians with a carrier rate of 4%. Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are the most common clinical manifestations of FVL related VTE although it can also affect other sites. Genetic testing for FVL is used for diagnostic as well as predictive purposes. Diagnosis of FVL is based on protein assays and

DNA analysis technology. Familial genetic testing for FVL is generally not recommended except in ...

Video Game Violence and its effects on children

Abstract This was a single subject case study to evaluate the effects of video games on children. In this study, a case of 14- year- old boy was evaluated to check whether the problems he faced were the result of long- term exposure to video games. The 14- year- old boy was administered with sedatives and anticoagulants to treat deep vein thrombosis. He underwent FMRI scans, cognitive inhibition- counting test and emotional interference tests designed to see his brain activity and response to different stimulus. The FMRI scans and the results of the tests were recorded and compared with the ...

CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY AND DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

The causes for chronic venous insufficiency are attributed to three types of abnormalities. First one being the varicosity of veins second is the incompetence of the valves which are responsible for a unidirectional flow in the veins and third is the deep vein abnormalities. Formerly it was also known as post phlebitic syndrome post thrombotic syndrome depending on its remote cause (Weiss, n. a). However in some patients the cause could be attributed to congenital absence of the valves. Varicose veins are dilatation, tortuosity and elongation of the veins. It can occur as a result of occupational hazard, prolonged standing may ...

Introduction

According to Huether (2012), venous insufficiency is a medical condition characterized by the inability of the veins of the lower extremities to effectively push blood back to the inferior vena cava. The venous blood evades its normal antegrade flow path and refluxes down the veins in the lower segments resulting to lower limb venous congestion. Syndromes in this condition are mostly due to valvular incompetence common in the low pressure superficial venous system, although they may also be due to incompetence of the valves in the deep venous systems.

Pathophysiology of CVI

The failure of the valves of superficial veins is attributed to ...

Overview

Risk factors Prevention teaching for nurses and patients Management Nursing management Complications Conclusion David Bloom, an Iraq reporter, died of blood clot issue which caused increased morbidity in relation to the heart, lungs and brains. It was simply because of lack of understanding as regards to the signs and symptoms that influences his untimely need to seek for required treatment. Overview Deep ventricular thrombosis affect 0.1% of persons per annum and it is the formation of the blood clots in the deep veins. This type of venous thrombosis is the type ...

Ventilator-associated pneumonia

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), defined as pneumonia that was absent or not developing at intubation, is the second most common hospital acquired infection (Bahrt, 2009, p. 49). It is the most prevalent hospital acquired infection amongst mechanically ventilated patients in critical care units with an estimated 10-20% incidence rate in some hospitals. It affects approximately 28% of patients requiring mechanical ventilation for >48 hours (Button, Culmer, Southard, & Donaldosn, 2005). Patients on mechanical ventilation for >24 hours are 6 to 21 times more likely to acquire VAP than patients not on ventilator support. VAP is the ...
