Research Paper On Kawasaki Disease

I couldnt see at all nor could I get out of bed. I was extremly deydrated. A friend of mine came over with her husbands blood testing kit. She poked my finger and my blood registered at 652. Normal blood sugar count is around 100. I needed to get to the doctor. I called the urgent care in my town and the nurse told me there was nothing they could do for me. I needed to get to the emergency room as soon as i could. I had my daugher help me out to the car and she drove me to the hospital in Gulfport.

There was no documentation of complications with bleeding or any other abnormal findings. You were kept overnight for and admitted to acute inpatient level of care with a discharge the next day. There was no hemodynamic (blood), pulmonary (lung), neurological (nervous system) or metabolic (chemical process) reasons for the acute level of care. The services and interventions provided could have been done in the observation setting. There were no positive test results or other findings after evaluation by the doctors that would have requested an acute level of care. You could have been kept in observation according to guidelines and with no documented complications confirmed through evaluation and testing you could have been discharged from observation with an ambulatory plan of

After when I got home I got a fever of around 104.5 and started throwing up. I would go back to the hospital every night to get more antibiotics. That went on for a whole week. During that week not much happened the pain in my side became excruciating and it would never go away. I tried to eat but I would only throw it up later so I didn’t really bother trying. I would sleep almost all day but with a few breaks to throw up, eat, watch TV, pee and go to the hospital again. After five days with the IV in my arm I went to the hospital after my fever broke and got the IV out. It felt so good to have it out. They sent me home with a bottle of pills to take every morning. A week later I broke out with another fever just as bad as the last but this time it was

For the past day and a half of (January 4 to January mid of the 5th) I kept having to rush to the restroom. My mouth was very very dry and I kept feeling like I had to keep drinking a whole bunch of water. Later that day (The 5th) my mom took me to the doctor. After explaining the problems I had been having the doctor told me that I need to be taken to an endocrinologist in Des Moines because there is no endocrinologists in Carroll and that I had Diabetes. I remember being very worried and confused. I didn’t know what it was at the time and I never even heard about it before then. Next thing I remember was that I was in an ambulance going to Des Moines.

I then said, “I’m not sure what is wrong but I’ve been having a little pain and I can’t keep any food down.” The doctor then checked me out, took tests, and then pretty much told me that I was a crazy old lady who was imagining things. Even though that doctor didn’t believe me, I knew something was wrong. I went and tried to get other doctors to believe me, but like my doctor, no one did. After a couple days of pain and no one believing me, I then went to my daughters house and all of us headed to the Jay County Hospital.

Heart disease affects people all around the world. Many life habits can lead you to potentially having a heart disease, but it can also be inherited. About 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year. It is the leading cause of death for both men and women. These case studies show that heart problems can strike you at any moment, even when you’re least expecting it.

Congenital heart disease- refers to a misshapen heart muscle as a result of a birth defect, changing the way in which the blood flows from the heart to and through the lungs and body

Baseball season was on the horizon and I needed to replace my bag so we drove to Academy. On the way to Academy I felt really tired but who doesn't when their sick. I started to walk into Academy and made it fifteen yards before everything went dark. I woke up being rushed into the ER hearing a lot of unfamiliar voices and the feeling of blood coming out of the side of my head. I was told that I had a seizure, shortly after that a familiar voice came in it was my grandma and behind her my mom and dad. I a matter of hours I had the situation explained and 8 staples in my head. Once moved to a regular room I was able to wash the blood out of my hair and take a shower.

On February 16 upon entering a room to assist with a transfer, I quickly check in on my post operation patient who was previously stable, I noticed their health status had rapidly changed. Moreover, my patient was found sitting in a very ridged positon looking pale, sweating, appearing anxious and in distress with a clenched jaw and intensely vibrating left leg. At this time, I was currently with my instructor and we immediate began to assess and comfort the patient. Our assessment found an increased blood pressure and heart rate and the patient reported numbness and twitching in their left leg. Subsequently, the patient

Depending on who the person is, it may not be deadly but, for others it can strike without notice. Because it's a genetic disease, if the patient doesn't know family history or medical background it can be tricky and sometimes be confused with asthma. Another huge problem with why it isn't more well known is because there isn't a lot of screening programs provide like an ECG to help detect it in the U.S. These scannings are not pushed or required for young athletes like they should be. I believe with the new technology and the research that is being put into this disease, we can hope for a better understanding of this disease and hope for it to become

The patient will need to be hospitalized for immediate treatment to prevent coronary disease, as the disease can cause heart disease (Starkebaum, 2015). Treatments will include intravenous gamma globulin along with aspirin. Most children will recover from the disease. However, some children will die from heart disease secondary to the Kawasaki disease; therefore the child should have an echocardiogram every 1 to 2 years to assess for coronary artery disease (Starkebaum, 2015). The parents will be advised to call their health care provider if the child experiences recurrent symptoms of swelling and redness in the palms, reddened eyes, and high fever that does not resolve with

I remember the moment my uncle came to pick me up in class. My family wanted me to visit my father. I knew he was in the hospital for an allergic reaction. Many days had passed since I saw him last. Seeing him in the intensive care unit was terrifying. Large blisters covered his body from head to toe. Several had broken down to purple-black sores that looked like his body had burned. Skin swelled up and was oozing all over. Doctors had connected him with machines with tubes all over on his body. I felt he wasn’t coming back home. However, as the days elapsed, he improved, doctors removed the tubes and in fifteen days he returned to baseline. The fact he survived from such a severe reaction astonished me. This incident had a

Two days ago, I was out with a high fever and a stomach virus. I don’t know how I got it, but it happened. I couldn’t get out of bed to use the restroom when I wanted to, eat, and even sleep! I felt like I was dying. Not only would that, with every inch of moment I did on my bed, have those ice-picking sensations appeared. Gah! I was a total mess! The pain of suffering... I swear I saw the light a couple of times….or maybe that was my mom turning on the light at night?

This is a case study of a 64-year old African American male found in a Motel 6 in San Diego four weeks ago. He was brought to the Emergency Room at UCSD Hillcrest and admitted to the 6th floor where infectious diseases are primarily treated. Upon admission for altered mental status, it was of concern that the patient was going through ETOH withdrawal, had community acquired pneumonia and that he was at risk for sepsis. Therefore, a sepsis work-up was completed and soon a plan of care was initiated for the patient. The patient was diagnosed with pneumonia most likely

It is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young people with a
