Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)‚ a major‚ yet preventable threat to patient safety‚ impose significant economic consequences on the nation’s healthcare system. An estimated 93‚000 urinary tract infections and 71‚000 bloodstream infections were identified from acute care hospitals (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]‚ 2014). The student’s purpose is to differentiate two high priority outcome measure and the rationale for these outcomes. In addition‚ the student will hypothesize

right ventricle. This blood is then pumped under higher pressure from the right ventricle to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. Left-Hand Side of the Heart The left-hand side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs (via the pulmonary veins) into the left atrium. This oxygenated blood then passes through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle. It is then pumped to the aorta under greater pressure (as explained below). This higher pressure ensures that the oxygenated blood leaving

Patient who have AF tend to have larger left atria and larger pulmonary veins which could potentially lead to the further propagation of AF. As the cardiac remodelling process continues‚ the changes in the size and shape of the ventricle become more exaggerated‚ cardiac function deteriorates and heart failure ensues. Thromboembolism

Vastus Medialis Gross Morphology The vastus medialis (VM) is a muscle situated in anteromedial aspect of the thigh. It forms quadriceps femoris muscle by the three distinctive portion‚ the rectus femoris‚ vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius (Palastanga and Soames 2012). The Vastus medialis has been termed as being composed of two separate division: the vastus medialis longus proximally‚ and the vastus medialis oblique distally (Hubbard et al 1997).

Blood loss is particularly rapid and when large veins are opened‚ example. common femoral or jugular. Venous bleeding can be under increased pressure as in asphyxia‚ or from ruptured varicose veins. Portal vein pressures are high enough to cause rapid blood loss‚ especially in portal hypertension with oesophageal varies. Pulmonary artery haemorrhage is dark red (venous blood) at around 30 mmHg (4 kPa)‚ while bleeding from the pulmonary veins is bright red (oxygenated). Capillary haemorrhage

Okay‚ here go. The femoral artery is very large in size and is located in the inner part of the thigh. A femoral artery can often be palpitated and used as a catheter access artery. It is an extremely amazing thing‚ the femoral artery. It is an access point for catheters that can travel all the way to
