A surgical nurse is responsible for monitoring and ensuring quality healthcare for a patient following surgery. Assessment‚ diagnosis‚ planning‚ intervention‚ and outcome evaluation are inherent in the post operative nurse’s role with the aim of a successful recovery for the patient. The appropriate provision of care is integral for prevention of complications that can arise from the anaesthesia or the surgical procedure. Whilst complications are common at least half of all complications are preventable

Sickle Cell Anemia‚ also known as Sickle Cell Disease‚ is a disease that causes the production of abnormal hemoglobin. The red blood cells (RBCs) carry oxygen to organs and tissues. Hemoglobin‚ a molecule in the RBCs‚ is a protein that attaches to the oxygen in the lungs and carries it to all parts of the body. Hemoglobin takes on the oxygen‚ and releases carbon dioxide‚ a process known as oxygenation. In the tissues‚ deoxygenation occurs where the processes is reversed‚ when hemoglobin releases

occurring. Furthermore‚ the paralysis of the lower extremities makes it impossible for the patient to contract their muscles moving the blood back to the heart. Therefore‚ causing the blood to pool in the lower extremities resulting in a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A common symptom of this is edema in the legs. Treatment includes blood thinners‚ elastic stockings‚ TED hose‚ or sequential compression devices

Abstract Sickle-cell disease is a genetic disorder that results from the abnormal structure of red blood cells. The peculiar shape of the red blood cell prevents the normal absorption of oxygen. This disease results from the abnormal production of hemoglobin S (HbS). Therefore‚ a mutation in this gene causes a lower supply of oxygen to the cells‚ which results in occlusion of the blood vessels. Individuals diagnosed with sickle-cell anemia have abnormal function of the gene that encodes for subunit

3. This process is affected by stroke 4. One possible ischemic stroke occurs due to blockage of an intracranial vessel due to an embolus from a distant area (i.e. cardiogenic embolus)‚ 5. Another possible ischemic stroke occurs due to in situ thrombosis of an intracranial vessel‚ usually one of the smaller penetrating arteries (usually due to carotid plaque on the arteries). 6. Another possible ischemic stroke is due to hypoperfusion caused by flow-limiting stenosis of a major extracranial artery
