Abstract Aim: To compare Allen’s Test with modified Allen’s Test and its clinical importance Materials and Methods: Thirty students from Saveetha Dental College, Chennai were selected for this experiment, people were chosen at random. The Allen’s test is a worldwide standardized test used to determine whether the patency of the radial or ulnar artery is normal. It is performed prior to radial cannulation or catheterization, as a placement of such a catheter may result in thrombosis. Allen's

A Bill of Health That Doesn’t Add Up At the request of the Tampa Tribune, three insurers allowed a reporter access to hospital cost and quality information they post on password-protected Web sites for their members. The companies were Humana, United Healthcare, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida. A Tribune analysis shows the range of prices that Bay area hospitals charge for the same procedures. I believe the statistical procedure used in this report is mentioned in Chapters 2 under Data

• Anti-anginal medications- Are used to relieve pressure on the coronary arteries surrounding the heart. Although these medicines are effective they are short-term treatments and do not permanently treat coronary heart disease. Bypass surgery- Coronary bypass artery surgery involves taking a blood vessel from the legs arms or chest and grafting it onto the heart.

Imagine what it would be like to have just started your senior year of high school and be involved in softball, basketball, and numerous other activities and organizations, and find out that your dad has to have a quadruple bypass surgery and won’t be able to attend any of your games, which will keep most of your family members from being able to as well because they are trying to take care of him. That was the reality for my best friend, Kathy Jo, last year. Cardiovascular disease does run in

her was the catheterization; she thought it was too much like a surgery. But, we were able to convince her to go through with it, explaining to her that it was the best thing to do at the time. This is also how the doctors determined she needed the bypass surgery. CAD does not develop overnight, as I stated above, it is a buildup of unhealthy materials in the arteries. There are also risk factors that increase the chances of developing CAD. It is said by the NHLBI (2006) that men are at greater risk

many cases, substitute products can be drugs prescribed to a patient in lieu of an operation to implant a medical device. For example, with coronary artery disease, two therapies are commonly used: stents (implantable devices) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Differences between outcomes with stenting and with CABG are a point of controversy (Hannan et al., 2008; Ryan et al., 2006). However, a recent study comparing the treatment outcomes of all

failed to receive, as well as export blood from his heart and the doctors proceeded to try to place a stent in order to keep the paths clean. However, they continued to collapse and a stent was no longer an option. My father urgently needed a triple bypass,

Anticoagulants, which prevents the blood from coagulating therefore reducing the risk of heart attack, and beta blockers. There are a few surgery options for patients; Coronary artery bypass surgery is the most common surgery for patients with CF, if patients have coronary artery blockages cardiac surgeons can either “graft” or bypass the effected artery, with a new artery for the part of the heart experiencing ischemia. Valve replacement surgery is a good option for patients who are experiencing aortic valve

Cardiac catheterization is often referred to as coronary angiography or a coronary angiogram. It is a radiographic procedure that is used to look at and visualize the heart and the coronary arteries. During a cardiac catheterization it is possible for the cardiologist performing the procedure to see how effectively blood is flowing through the coronary arteries. In addition, this procedure allows the cardiologists to see how blood is moving through the chambers of the heart and how effective the

Mustary Akter Professor: Karah Newton URPN 370.500 December 02, 2016 The Quality and Transparency of Hospital Care To increase the quality and transparency to provide the best heath care in the United States, the health care system is continuously undergoing through many changes in the system. For this assignment, we needed to visit Leap Frog Group website to choose a city and a hospital in order to understand the quality rating of that particular hospital. I chose the city College Station because
