Research Question: The Consequences of Malabsorption Syndrome in Post-Operative Gastric Bypass Patients Rationale: Gastric bypass operative procedures are a group of techniques that divides the stomach into a small upper pouch and a much larger lower pouch, then rearranges the small intestine so that it connects with both. There are a number of techniques to reconnect the intestine, but all lead to a considerable reduction in the volume of the stomach, also accompanied by an altered physiological

The Consequences of Malabsorption Syndrome in Post Operative Gastric Bypass Patients Literature Review Matrix Part I: PICO Analysis of Research Topic P: The patient (population) in this particular study is the post operative gastric bypass patient. I: The anticipated intervention would be to treat malabsorption syndrome in that population. C: The comparison group would be those who do not have the syndrome. O: The outcome desired would be to successfully treat the malabsorption

CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT Adv Nursing questions (110 points) Adv Pharmacology (55 points) Adv Pathophysiology (35 points) CASE PRESENTATION Mr. Howard, a 57-year-old man, had a 3-month history of progressive typical anginal chest pain. He reported that the symptoms first occurred with heavy exertion and involved what he described as“heaviness” in his chest. The symptoms were promptly relieved with rest. Over the past weeks, he had been experiencing increasingly frequent episodes of chest

M.C was admitted to Providence hospital in Waco on September 11, 2015 to undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery. He has a previous medical history of coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, MI, and hyperlipidemia. All of these diseases put M.C at an increased risk for acute CAD leading to occluded vessels that supply the heart with adequate blood flow and oxygenation. Nonmodifiable risk factors associated with coronary artery disease include age, gender, family history, and ethnic background

Introduction Coronary artery disease (CAD) is caused by reduced blood flow in the coronary arteries. This subsequently leads to reduced oxygenation to the myocardium, resulting in transient ischemia or angina. CAD may cause permanent damage to myocardial cells or infarction. The left ventricle of the heart is most susceptible to CAD. The causes of CAD include atherosclerosis, congenital defects, coronary artery spasm, dissecting aneurysm, infectious vasculitis and syphilis. Atherosclerosis and vasospasm

Research Committee of the Department of Anesthesia, and written informed consent was obtained from all the study participants attending the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department. A total of 55 patients underwent cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), 45 (40-55) years were screened from January 2008 to December 2009 and 49 were enrolled in the study based on the following inclusion criteria: Patients were American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status II, ejection fraction (EF) ≥40%

ABBREVIATION EXERCISE # 1 NAME: Caroline Geary EXPLAIN WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PATIENTS THAT HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIAGNOSIS ON ADMISSION. Spell out each abbreviation, then explain as if you were telling someone with no medical knowledge. (2T means secondary to while r/o means rule out) SOB, HTN, hyperglycemia This patient is suffering from shortness of breath, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Hypertension is high blood pressure. The normal blood pressure range for adults is less than 120/80mm

The implications that can be applied to nursing and health care that I have discovered from Zhang’s study of the Impact Of Nurse-Initiated Preoperative Education on Postoperative Anxiety Symptoms and Complications After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting are postoperative psychological assessments, professional psychological counseling, and the use of patient anxiety scales (2012). In my clinical placement, I have evaluated the postoperative assessments and education that takes place and

Coronary Revascularisation in Diabetic Patients Introduction Diabetes Mellitus (DM) increases the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) by two to four folds, which may manifest as a silent myocardial infarct in diabetic patients. It is therefore of no surprise that ischaemic coronary artery disease is responsible for ¾ of diabetes related deaths. The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis differs greatly in patients with diabetes, resulting in a more progressive and accelerated form of vascular disease
