Clinically most important edema is cerebral edema which is developed due to the injury or the brain trauma and in some cases it may be due to nontraumatic reasons like meningitis, brain tumors, ischemic stroke and encephalitis. It is due to increase in brain water/fluid and hence brain volume which increases the intracranial pressure resulting in very critical situation. The management of the cerebral edema is one of the most prominent challenges now a days for neurosurgeons.
With the brain damage that results from increased intracranial pressure secondary to cerebral edema? Select one: a. Myelan degeneration from circulating enzymes released in areas of tissue damage b. Decreased cerebral perfusion from hypotension and blood loss c. Axonal sharing and caring from displacement of the brain and the cranium d. Cerebral tissue hypoxia and ischemia from compression of blood vessels
2, High altitude pulmonary edema (and high altitude cerebral
edema) are the major causes of death from altitude sickness,
triggered by hypoxic conditions.
a. Recall that alveolar ventilation and blood flow to pulmonary
capillaries are matched to maximize diffusion of oxygen into the
blood. when climbers eceed about 2500m of altitude they experience
significantly low levels of atmospheric oxygen. How does this
affect the state of contraction of their pulmonary arterioles?
b. How would hypoxix conditions affect pressure in the...

• Why is it clinically important for patients to receive antibiotics within one hour of surgery? • In clinical documentation in the health record what would be reviewed to report on hospital performance of this quality measure or which portion of the record would provide the most accurate information to confirm the administration of antibiotics and its time? • If hospital consistently scores low on this measure, what does this indicate? • If a hospital is scoring low on this...
What medication a nurse should give to a A 70 years old patient who suffer cerebral edema ? How the nurse gonna treat this patient?
Can most people directly control their ANS and visceral activities through direct voluntary cerebral cortex control? How could this be possible with training? (Refer to the previous question above) Name 6 organs that do not have dual innervation. What is meant by the term Dual Innervation?
using the clinically practiced formula .8 to 1 gram protein per kilogram body weight, what is your protein requirement ? in most cases , you will want to use you ideal body weight
Cerebral Palsy: Scenario: T.M. is an 8-year-old with cerebral palsy who has been admitted to your unit following surgery for a femoral osteotomy and tendon lengthening to stabilize hip joints and to help reduce spasticity. He is admitted with a hip spica cast, and epidural for pain management, and a Foley catheter. He also has a gastrostomy tube that was in place before the surgery. 1. What are the issues common to CP that you should consider when planning and...
