became aware of this medical- ethical dilemma through my clinical assignment in pediatrics. My patient was a 3 month old female who was born dead. Apparently the mother suffered Placenta Abruptio‚ it is unknown how long the fetus suffered with hypoxia before birth. Nurses claim this infant was born dead. CPR was performed for more than 15 minutes before the heart started. Needless to say the baby was then placed on life support. A determination was made that the infant is brain dead. The major

Some of these complications for the mother include liver failure‚ eclampsia‚ hemorrhage‚ renal failure‚ stroke and ultimately death. Some complications for the baby are pre-term birth‚ intrauterine growth restriction‚ hypoxia‚ and death. Women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia are also at an increased risk for stroke‚ seizures‚ heart failure‚ and blindness. The only known treatment for pre-eclampsia is delivery of the fetus and therefore delivery of the placenta. “Treatment

The heart functions to take deoxygenated blood from the body and pump it to the lungs to re-oxygenate it‚ to pump it back through the body. Without this system‚ body tissues wouldn’t get oxygen and therefore not function and the person would not survive. The function of the left side of the heart is to take oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it out to and through the rest of the body. This is the systemic circulation of the heart. With every body system there are homeostatic imbalances and

Provides information of acid/base status and oxygenation. Relaxation techniques ca reduce stress. Hypoxia can result in life-threatening dysrhythmias that require emergent treatments. ABGs remain in normal limits for patient. Patient practiced focusing on a particular object to relax more. Patient will not show dysrhythmias. Medication Cards Brand

temperature‚ loss of normal bodily function and pain. Inflammation is a protective response by the body towards cell injury. Cell injury may be due to; necrotic cells or tissue‚ the introduction of microbes (such as viruses or bacteria)‚ toxins‚ hypoxia‚ etc. Inflammation is therefore the body’s way of attempting to remove the primary cause of inflammation and any damage that may have occurred as a result (Healing and repair). Inflammation is a complicated series of biological reactions‚ only taking

INTRODUCTION Cellular respiration is a biochemical pathway in which cells produce ATP or energy and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste by breaking down the chemical bonds of food molecules. Cellular respiration is a type of aerobic respiration which needed oxygen in order to produce ATP which occurring in the mitochondria. Meanwhile‚ in the absence of oxygen‚ the cells will undergo anaerobic respiration to produce ATP in the cytoplasm. Anaerobic respiration can be divided into two parts which are

Category II FHR tracings are indeterminate‚ not reflective of abnormal acid-base status‚ but requiring continued evaluation‚ surveillance‚ and reevaluation‚ with increased risk for fetal hypoxia/ acidemia (Macones et al.‚ 2008).
