Kujdesi Infermieror Tek Të Sëmurët Me Anemi Sideropenike, Zejnepe Zeqiri

Theses and Dissertations

Anemia paraqet uljen e numrave të eritrociteve në qarkullimin e gjakut, ulje e sasisë së gjakut në trup dhe sasi e zvogluar e hemoglobinës në eritrocite, që natyrisht shkon edhe me ulje të hematokritit.

Eritrocitet janë qeliza të gjakut që shërbejnë për transportimin e oksigjenit dhe dioksidit të karbonit në trupin e njeriut.

Anemia nuk është një sëmundje në vetvete por përshkruan një gjendje organizmi, domethënë ekzistenca e asaj sëmundje. Anemia mund të jetë sëmundje shumë e lodhshme dhe e rëndë për pacientin dhe mund të ndikojë seriozisht në jetën e pacientit.

Në punim do të diskutohet klasifikimi i anemive, …

Adult Postoperative Open-Heart Patients: Anemia And 30-Day Hospital Readmission, Lindsey Ryan

Dissertations

Background. In 2013 alone, more than 4% (3.9 million) of patients discharged from a hospital were readmitted. Anemia following a surgical procedure is associated with early hospital readmission.

Purpose/Aims. The following were specific aims of this dissertation:

  • Aim 1. To develop an operational definition of the term condition-based maintenance as applied to health care and discuss the applicability and effectiveness of condition-based maintenance within health care.
  • Aim 2. To identify the number of adult patients undergoing elective open-heart surgery with preoperative anemia.
  • Aim 3. To examine the relationship between preoperative anemia, sociodemographics, and 30-day hospital readmission rates among postoperative open-heart …


Preoperative Anemia Management In Adult Outpatient Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgical Patients To Improve Treatment Of Preoperative Anemia, Katherine Mills Apr 2019

Preoperative Anemia Management In Adult Outpatient Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgical Patients To Improve Treatment Of Preoperative Anemia, Katherine Mills

Doctoral Projects

The transfusion of blood products can lead to life-threatening complications after surgery. In addition, blood products are a scarce and expensive resource. Even though anemia in coronary artery bypass surgery patients is currently undertreated, research has shown that the intravenous infusion of iron products, as well as a single dose of erythropoietin-alpha prior to surgery, decreases the amount of blood products used in the perioperative setting. The goal of this pilot project was to increase the number of patients screened for anemia, and if necessary, treated prior to coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Methods: This was a practice improvement, pilot …


Mechanisms Of Arsenic-Induced Suppression Of Early Red Blood Cell Development, Sebastian Medina Mar 2019

Mechanisms Of Arsenic-Induced Suppression Of Early Red Blood Cell Development, Sebastian Medina

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Anemia adversely impacts the health of more than a billion people worldwide. A strong association between anemia and arsenic exposure has been reported in epidemiological studies from multiple countries. However, the mechanistic bases for the association between arsenic exposure and anemia is not fully understood. In this study, we found an inverse association between drinking water arsenic exposures and clinical indicators of anemia (i.e., red blood cell counts and hematocrit/packet cell volumes) in a cohort of men from rural Bangladesh enrolled in the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study.

Follow-up studies in mice, revealed that 60-day exposure to trivalent inorganic …

Iron Deficiency Anemia, Heather Weaver

Nursing Student Class Projects (Formerly MSN)

“Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common type of nutritional disorder worldwide, occurring in both developing and developed countries and affecting as many as one-fifth of the world population” (Huether & McCance, 2018, p. 934). There are many causes including bleeding (usually intestinal or menstrual), pregnancy, malnutrition, and malabsorption. Some of the signs and symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, headaches, exertional shortness of breath, cold intolerance, and paler than normal skin tones. The American Society of Hematology (2019) reports iron is important in the production of hemoglobin and maintenance of healthy cells. The topic of IDA was chosen as a …
