Sample Resume : La Reanimacion Cardiopulmonar

When I think of medicine I think of diversity. The medical field contains a multiplicity of individuals, culture, and exchange; exposure to the Guatemalan culture offers a plethora of experience that allows me to build on personal growth, educational enhancements, and the opportunity to make a difference. The availability of this program through the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine is a blessing as well as a prayer answered for the prospect to experience the world beyond the borders of the United Stares.

Post hospital stay and admission of the cardiac patient post cardiac event will be provided education on cardiac rehabilitation programs. The length of cardiac rehabilitation programs differ according to the cardiac patient’s condition, cardiac health needs the patient requires and the cardiac event the patient has encountered. Cardiac rehabilitation programs are provided in an outpatient clinic or may also be implemented in the cardiac patients home. Cardiac rehabilitation in a patient’s home is inclusive of, telephone support, online Heart Education Assessment and Rehabilitation Toolkit (HEART), and home visits from services in the community, (Recommended Framework for Cardiac Rehabilitation, 2004). Cardiac rehabilitation programs require expertise from a range of professionals from the multidisciplinary team including, a cardiologist, a cardiac rehabilitation nurse, physician, dietician,

When I did my own EKG lab testing I used the following materials: BIOPAC electrode lead set (SS2L), BIOPAC disposable vinyl electrodes (EL503), Cot, BIOPAC electrodes, Computer Sytem, BIOPAC Student Lab software v3.0 or greater, and BIOPAC acquisition unit (MP30). When all these materials are available the computer was turned on and three of the electrodes were placed on the body of my teammate. Two electrodes were positioned on the medial surface of each leg just above the ankle, and the last electrode was on the right anterior forearm at her wrist. When these were attached the subject was asked to lie down on the cot and relax. We then attached her to the EKG machine with three colored cables. The white cable was placed on the electrode on the right forearm, the black cable was placed on right leg and the red cable was attached to the electrode on the left leg.

I was born on February 14, 1993 in the city of La Vega, Dominican Republic. I came to New York at the age of 10. The fact that my first language is Spanish placed me at a disadvantage from the minute I stepped a foot in the United States since even at the airport I was not able to communicate with the agent. My biggest struggle was school since the class was taught in English only and most of my classmates only spoke English. Despite my efforts to give it my all to learn the language and adapt to the customs of this unfamiliar place, it seemed to be a challenge I would never overcome. Since my parents and close family members mostly spoke Spanish as well, they could not help me, they only encouraged me to study and read a lot so that I would learn the language faster. I wanted to fit in with kids of my age and to understand when

The journey to embrace the speciality of anesthesiology has been ecstatic and full of fond memories. It was not until the end of my internship that I finally developed a passion in anesthesiology and the field of critical care. I soon realized that with my zeal for clinical anatomy, command over concepts of physiology, dexterity in medical procedures and empathetic connection to my patients, this speciality would be an ideal match. In my opinion, anesthesiology demands a physicians ability to consolidate the core principles of clinical medicine with the knowledge of basic science principles delicately balanced with high standards of ethical code and conduct. I am confident that with my depth of knowledge, passion for clinical research as well

Cardioversion. During this procedure medicines or an electrical shock are given to make the heart beat normally.

Resuscitation is kind of technique that helps to restart the heart when it has stopped beating. That could be by a device that delivers an electric shock to stimulate the heart or by using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). To answer the second part of question; would you prefer to have one if you need it? I feel this question is hard to answer it, but I think the answer is depend on what kind of problem health that I would have and also depending on if I use resuscitation does my heart will be working again, or could I have a health complications without any benefit.

I am applying for the UL Lafayette College of Nursing & Allied Health Professions Nursing Scholarship to hopefully earn a scholarship award to assist me with financing my college education. I do not have an on-campus or off-campus job at the time which benefits me by allowing more of my time to be dedicated to my studies. I am a focused and self-motivated student who strives to earn the best grades possible in my college courses. I am a determined student because I want to become an efficient and effective nurse when I graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I know that I will graduate as a professional and competent nurse who demonstrates evidence-based practice, emphasizes quality and safety measures in care settings, and provides the utmost patient-centered care.

Do Not Resuscitate, "is a written physician's order that prevents the healthcare learn from initialing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the event that a patient's heart stops" (Earp, French, & Gilkey, 2008, p. 348). It had all started within the year of 1960, Kouwenhoven and his colleagues, were the first to announce closed chest cardiac massage as an efficient way of resuscitating victims when undergoing a cardiac arrest (Yuen, Reid, & Fetters, 2011, p. 791). As a patient advocate, my goal is to be able to provide the upmost care to my patients. DNR policy is relatively what patients need to be aware of because it is their only chance of getting any wishes to be followed through towards the end. Yuen (2011) explains how with DNR there

As I approach the end of my medical school education, I find that my thoughts often shift away from the formal material that has been my life for over three years. I have spent countless hours learning anatomy, conceptualizing physiology, practicing physical exam skills, and developing differential diagnoses to build a solid foundation upon which to establish my professional career. Supplementing my concrete knowledge and skill base are informal insights learned through clinical experiences. One such insight which I believe is critically important is to maintain a respect for the unknown. I realize that this concept is vague and open to individual interpretation.

Emergency medical technicians are licensed and/or certified health-care providers that are out-of-hospital. They immediately respond to the scene of an emergency, assess the safety hazards of the scene, and transport patients to institutions. (Beck, 2013) An emergency medical technician-paramedic takes on the additional tasks of giving medication and using various complex equipment. The competence and hasty reactions of EMTs can save the lives of patients and get them to the emergency room physician. Although education differs state to state, every emergency medical technician-paramedic must receive a high school diploma or GED and become certified for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). (“Emts and paramedics,” 2014) They must also

With this new invention a systematic way of interpreting an Electrocardiograph soon developed. The layout of the graph is as such: there are 4 columns which correspond to the leads; the first column – I, II, and III; the second column: aVR, AVL, aVF; the third V1-3; and the fourth V4-6. Each column is recorded simulation however they are not always displayed on the strip except for the last rhythm strip which occurs at the bottom of the tracing (lead II and V1).

The determination of the potential for cardiac arrest is readily apparent in some patients. Patients with the greatest potential for cardiac arrest require close scrutiny for the signs and symptoms of respiratory and hemodynamic instability. This investigation will attempt to determine the best methods of administering high quality chest compressions in CPR. The PICO(T) acronym represents a format that can be used to create an answerable research question. The PICO(T) formulated question for this investigation is: In adult cardiac arrest, will the utilization of automated chest compressions compared to physical chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation improve survival outcomes? PICO(T) components consist of patient population (P), intervention (I), comparison (C), outcome (O) and time (T). The PICO(T) components used to formulate the answerable research question are: Patient population: adults in cardiac

The most common complication associated with CPR in older adults include: rib fractures (which occur in 97% of cases), breastbone fracture, neurological damage, chest bruises and/or burns, abdominal injuries, and damage to the tracheas, esophagous, lung, lip and/or teeth (Cadogan, 2010). In a study that looked at inpatients’ feeling on when they would want life support, 90% of patients wanted life support if their health could be restored back to baseline, 30% of the patients wanted life support if they could at minimum return to a state where they could care for themselves, 16% of the patients still wanted life support even if recovery was determined to be hopeless and finally only 6% of patients wanted life support even if they would remain in a persistent vegetative state (Frankl et al., 1989). Few of the individuals who would receive resuscitation in an ICU would be in the
