Life After Ecmo: A Comprehensive Review Of Longterm Complications, Mia Olson Pa-C
Life After Ecmo: A Comprehensive Review Of Longterm Complications, Mia Olson Pa-C
Lynchburg Journal of Medical Science
Extracorporeal life support is the ability to temporarily supplement pulmonary and/or cardiac function in the setting of severe organ failure, with the most widely used version of this technology being extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). While ECMO acutely improves outcomes in many patients with acute cardiopulmonary failure, evidence shows that survivors are at risk for long-term complications. These may include physical limitations, neurocognitive impairment, and psychological distress, all of which cumulate to impact a patient’s quality of life. The purpose of this research paper is to examine the literature on long-term complications associated with ECMO therapy and their impact on patient …
Erector Spinae Plane Block For Preserving Pulmonary Function In Patients With Traumatic Rib Fractures, Dakoda Farrington
Erector Spinae Plane Block For Preserving Pulmonary Function In Patients With Traumatic Rib Fractures, Dakoda Farrington
Lynchburg Journal of Medical Science
Rib fractures are frequently seen in trauma patients and are associated with increased mortality, primarily due to pulmonary complications. This study investigates the efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in preserving pulmonary function in patients with traumatic rib fractures. A search was conducted in PubMed using the terms "erector spinae plane" AND ("rib fracture" OR "rib fractures") AND trauma. The results were filtered to include studies within the past five years, available full-text articles, and relevancy to this research question. Ultimately, five studies were isolated and included in this review. The methodology for measuring pulmonary function varied between the …
Stop The Bleed! Acute Epistaxis Management, Christopher R. Cannell
Stop The Bleed! Acute Epistaxis Management, Christopher R. Cannell
Lynchburg Journal of Medical Science
Epistaxis, the most common Otolaryngology-related emergency, is responsible for one in 200 emergency department (ED) visits in the United States (US) and one-third of otolaryngology visits.1,11 Up to 60% of the population will experience epistaxis during their lifetime, and 6% -10 % will require medical intervention.2,3 Epistaxis occurs in children and adults and has a seasonal variation. Although 85% of nosebleeds are idiopathic, they are more frequent in those on supplemental oxygen, anticoagulation, antiplatelet therapy, and in those with other conditions that may predispose them to bleeding. Most clinicians will encounter patients with acute epistaxis; therefore, it is …
Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Prevention And Detection In Covid-19 Patients, Bethany Sloane Melega
Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Prevention And Detection In Covid-19 Patients, Bethany Sloane Melega
Student Scholar Showcase
COVID-19 has impacts on patient health beyond the hospital. The trauma that patients, and families of patients, can experience during an admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) can last long after discharge from the ICU and the hospital in general. The psychological and physical impacts of ICU hospitalization can cause patients to experience Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). PICS is the culmination of symptoms that persist after a critical illness that involve all aspects of a patient’s physical and mental well-being and can significantly affect family life and increase recovery time. Due to the strict personal-protective equipment (PPE) usage …
Flight Nurses’ Narratives Of Traumatic Patient Care Events: Why Do They Stay?, Joanne Booth Newton
Flight Nurses’ Narratives Of Traumatic Patient Care Events: Why Do They Stay?, Joanne Booth Newton
Graduate Dissertations and Theses
As frontline providers of care, flight nurses are continuously exposed to traumatic patient care events; they are, accordingly, highly vulnerable to the injurious effects of compassion fatigue. Flight nursing is an exclusive nursing specialty in which highly trained registered nurses provide comprehensive pre-hospital, emergency, and critical care to patients with urgent or life-threatening conditions aboard helicopter or fixed wing aircraft or, when necessary due to unfavorable weather conditions, by ground ambulance. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of five flight nurses; to better understand the factors they perceived to be contributors or barriers to compassion …
