Dermatan sulfate, Heparin sulfate, Heparin and Keratin sulfate. Heparin is an extremely sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAGs) found in the mast cells of a majority of mammals, the structure of which is demonstrated in fig. 1. The endogenous GAGs are very much acidic and actively stimulated. Heparin is also the highly sulfated

variety of indications at the sterile field; as a surgical technologist you are responsible for verifying and properly labeling all medications included in the surgical procedure. The three medications this paper will focus on are topical thrombin, heparin, and Xylocaine® with epinephrine; all are commonly used during surgical procedures for very different reasons. Topical thrombin, also known under the brand name of Thrombin-JMI®, is bovine in origin (PDR, Thrombin). It is classified as a hemostatic

It is not uncommon for death to occur in an unusual way in a hospital setting. One such occurrence is frequently identified as a pulmonary embolism. The patient comes in with an initial diagnosis of lung cancer with metastasis to the liver. She is expected to live for a few more days. To show compassion, the nurse decides to give her a bath, change her linens, and help her become more comfortable. After providing her with care, the patient has one more request, to get a leg massage. Oblivious to

The Efficacy of Rivaroxaban as VTE Prophylaxis As the proportions of the aging U.S. population increases, more people are susceptible to venous thromboembolism (VTE) that often contribute to prolonged hospitalization, health complications, disability, poor quality of life, and premature death. This increase in VTE-related deaths and health complications has threatened the health and the economy of the U.S. society. Health care professionals need to make a better decision in preventing VTE, especially

Prophylaxis against DVT is an important aspect of nursing care and can be achieved using mechanical methods such as TEDs, SCDs and pharmacological methods, for example, subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) (Walker & Lamont, 2008). The key to preventing DVT formation in any patient is to promote perfusion (Maiocco, 2008). In the surgical patient who is non ambulant, TEDs are often used as mechanical prophylaxis of DVT in the lower limb

Annie Coffey is a 72 year old woman that has developed a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to reduced mobility while on bed rest. This assignment will discuss the signs, symptoms, prevention and management of a DVT and the use of warfarin as long term treatment. The assignment will explain what a DVT is and discuss its potential implications. The nurse’s role in the prevention of DVTs will be discussed in detail as well as the nursing management of Annie. The importance of patient education will be

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication that affects as many as one in every 1000 surgical patients each year in the United States (Carlson & Pfadt, 2012). Without preventative measures, up to forty percent of orthopedic surgery patients develop VTEs (Ryan & Johnson, 2009). Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the more common VTEs developed by hospitalized patients. When a DVT breaks loose, it can travel to the lungs and become a pulmonary embolus (PE), which can lead
