Bronchoscopy: Infection Of The Endoscope

- It is widely used and super important tool in most of suicidal procedures. Without it most surgery cannot be processed. And the equipment can largely increase the success rate of the operations. For some kinds of surgery the patients do not need to have large operation incisions. The importance of endoscope is obviously. So if the

Bronchitis is the inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, the airways that carry airflow from the trachea into the lungs. The thin mucus lining of these airways can become irritated and swollen; the cells that make up the lining may leak fluids in response to the inflammation. Bronchitis most often occurs during the cold and flu season usually coupled with an upper respiratory infection. Bronchitis can be divided into two categories: acute or chronic each of which has distinct etiologies, pathologies, and therapies. I chose this condition because it seemed like an interesting topic to research on, and I am also interested in learning more

Central line infections (also known as central line-associated bloodstream infection), takes place when germs get into the bloodstream via a central line. Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) continue to be one of the most deadly and costly hospital-associated infections in the United States. It costs Americans thousands of billions of dollars each year in treating patients who have developed the condition. Nevertheless, these infections are preventable if proper care is provided to patients. Many medical practitioners have tried to develop measures to prevent the occurrence of these infections. Some of the strategies through which these infections can be eradicated include: the IHI Central Line Bundle, which have been implemented

gradually stretch the tissue. Endoscopic foreign body removal also has the benefit of being able to visualize the damage or lack thereof

Surgical site infections are considered preventable. Because such infections are considered preventable, there are legal consequences directly connected to such a condition. In this paper, I will discuss what an SSI is and the reasons on why it is considered to be preventable. I will also discuss the role of disclosure and legal implications that are related to SSIs, accreditation expectations, and continuous quality monitoring as it relates to SSIs.

Infection is the invasion and growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites that are not normally present within the body. A prokaryotic cell is a simple cell that does not have a nucleus. One of the most common types of prokaryotic cells is a bacterium. Bacteria are differentiated by many factors including shape, chemical composition, nutritional requirements, biochemical activities, and sources of energy (Tortora 76). A patient with an infection in the upper respiratory system will need to have a sputum sample sent to the lab for further evaluation to determine the cause in order to accurately treat the infection. While many microorganisms can be the cause of infection,

Croup accounts for 15% of clinic and ED visits for an upper respiratory tract infection and is the most common cause of acute stridor. Most often croup occurs in children ages 6-36 months of age but can be seen in older children up to age 6. Males are more prone to croup than females. Croup usually occurs in early winter and presents to the ED from 10:00PM to 4:00AM. Hospitalizations from croup usually are between 2-5% with 1% of those children requiring intubation and .5% of those intubated dying. Complications are rare but it is important to identify the treat these patients rapidly.

Infective endocarditis is the inflammation of the damaged parts of the heart due to an infection usually from elsewhere in the body. In this disease the endocardium (the inner lining of the heart) is inflamed and can lead to damaged heart valves and to other life-threatening complications. William Osler was the first one to recognize this disease and gave a name to it in 1885 in his Gulstonian lectures.

The instrument used for endoscopies, called an endoscope, consists of a long tube that has a light and a video camera attached to the end that is inserted into the mouth, through the esophagus and stomach, and into the duodenum. The endoscopy can be used to assess symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, bleeding, trouble swallowing, and vomiting. It can also be used to detect tumors and ulcers (as well as the ulcer-causing bacterium, Helicobacter pylori), collect tissue for biopsies, and treat existing problems such as bleeding from ulcers. Endoscopies can also be used in combination with other diagnostic procedures, such as an ultrasound. This helps doctors see other organs in the body, such as the pancreas (“Upper Endoscopy: Why It’s

Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is a procedure to destroy or cut portions of a chain of nerves that runs along your spine inside your chest (sympathetic nerve chain). In this procedure, a surgeon inserts a a flexible telescope with an attached camera (endoscope) through small cuts (incisions) under your arm. The surgeon uses the endoscope to perform surgery through these incisions with special tools (thoracic endoscopy).

Air is put through the endoscope to allow your caregiver to view the lining of your esophagus

The procedure of conducting the endoscopy commences by applying the sensing system on the abdominal wall which is directly connected to the data recorder. The patient wears the data recorder so that visualization is achieved without any hindrance. Later, the activation of the capsule is done by removing it from the magnetic holder. Furthermore, the patient ingests the capsule and in the process of ingestion of capsule, the patient is provided with certain instructions which are as follows:

Today was third visit of the rotation. This week, I was set for PACU (post anesthesia care unit) area in the Yellow building, Riverside hospital, Columbus. Our preceptor, Dennis, was very proactive with pharmacy interns as well. He didn’t give me the assignment, but the supplement of reading for the visit of this week. He has attached copy of an article on SCIP (The Surgical care Improvement Project) and Prevention of Post-Operative Infection, including Surgical Site Infections. Although I was honestly did not have much time reading the article through, I felt our preceptor were very caring about my experience from the hospital throughout this Spring semester.

Endoscopy means looking inside and typically refers to looking inside the body for medical reasons using an endoscope,[1] an instrument used to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body. Unlike most other medical imaging techniques, endoscopes are inserted directly into the organ.

Endoscopy - This is a procedure that helps to reduce the need for invasive surgery. By mounting a tiny camera onto a small flexible tube, a doctor is able to take a look at many areas of
