Hand Washing Technique (Medical Asepsis)

PURPOSE:To cleanse the hands to minimize the cross infection to an each patient self and in the environment for aesthetic sense

REQUIREMENTS:1. Soap in a dish2. A sink equipped with a tap3. Towel4. A nail brush and hand brush5. A nail file6. A container with disinfectant7. A timer.

HAND WASHING TECHNIQUE:1. Stand well away from the sink, turn on the tap and adjust its flow.2. Wet hands, for arms and, elbow thoroughly. Holding them down ward over the sink to allow the

water to run toward the finger tips.3. Apply enough soap on hands and fore arms to make a good lather.4. Rinse soap cake and replace to the soap dish.5. Scrub each hand with the other creating friction by interlacing the fingers and moving the hands

back and forth. Continue scrubbing for 1-2 minutes starting from the areas around the finger nails in

N.B.1. Washing of the hands should be done for 2 to 3 minutes with a brush if the hands are grossly

contaminated.2. A nail file is used to clean the sub ungula area, if the nails are dirty.3. Use paper pieces if sink is used with and controlled tap to open or to close the tap, depending

up on the areas whether it is clean or contaminated.4. Scrubbing the hands with a brush is not re-commended for medical aseps is because brushing

Page 44: question bank and reading material

5. Always use running water as it removes the bacteria and dirt along with soap mechanically.6. If a tap is not available an assistant is needed to pour the water for hand washing.

GENERAL RULES OF CLEANING1. Warm water dissolves grease easily and dirt, so it is more effective in cleaning than the cold

water.2. Cold water dissolves aluminous water therefore articles soiled with body wastes, blood and

so forth should be rinsed in cold water before being washed in hot soapy water.3. Soap lowers the surface tension of water and therefore should be used in sufficient amount

to remove dirt.4. hold the cleaning cloth in such a manner so as allow a large area of cleaning as far as possible

at one time.5. Friction will speed the removal of dirt, Friction is accomplished by the movement of the

cleaning equipment over the surface. Cleaning cloth spread over the palm of the hand will facilitate this. Mild abrasives can be used to further increase the friction.

6. Start to clean area closer to you and work away from yourself start clean are a near t far.7. Proceed from the higher are to floor.8. All surfaces of the articles should be cleaned. This includes creases and crevices etc.9. The movement of cleaning should be so organized as to avoid cleaning the same surface

more than once.10. Maintaining articles adequately dry will discourage the growth of the micro-organisms

replaced.11. Keeping the living place clean and free from waste food will help to keep the vermin animal,

pets, away. Food should be stored and kept in reserved containers. The chief danger from pets is it spread of communicable disease.

12. Sun light and ultra violet rays help to control the bacteria in he air and there by on the articles which are exposed to Sun light for 6-8 hours.

Bowel Obstruction

What is a bowel obstruction?

A bowel obstruction happens when either your small or large intestine is partly or completely blocked. The blockage prevents food, fluids, and gas from moving through the intestines in the normal way. The blockage may cause severe pain that comes and goes.

What causes a bowel obstruction?

Tumors, scar tissue (adhesions), or twisting or narrowing of the intestines can cause a bowel obstruction. These are called mechanical obstructions .

In the small intestine, scar tissue is most often the cause. Other causes include hernias and Crohn's disease, which can twist or narrow the intestine, and tumors, which can block the intestine. A blockage also can happen if one part of the intestine folds like a telescope into another part, which is called intussusception.

In the large intestine, cancer is most often the cause. Other causes are severe constipation from a hard mass of stool, and narrowing of the intestine caused by diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel disease.

What are the symptoms?

Symptoms include:

Cramping and belly pain that comes and goes. The pain can occur around or below the belly button.

Vomiting . Bloating .

77

Page 78: question bank and reading material

Constipation and a lack of gas, if the intestine is completely blocked. Diarrhea , if the intestine is partly blocked.

How is a bowel obstruction diagnosed?

An abdominal X-ray, which can find blockages in the small and large intestines. A CT scan of the belly, which helps your doctor see whether the blockage is partial or

complete.

How is it treated?

Most bowel obstructions are treated in the hospital.

In the hospital, your doctor will give you medicine and fluids through a vein ( IV). To help you stay comfortable, your doctor may place a tiny tube called a nasogastric (NG) tube through your nose and down into your stomach. The tube removes fluids and gas and helps relieve pain and pressure. You will not be given anything to eat or drink.

Most bowel obstructions are partial blockages that get better on their own. Some people may need more treatment. These treatments include using liquids or air (enemas) or small mesh tubes (stents) to open up the blockage.

Surgery is almost always needed when the intestine is completely blocked or when the blood supply is cut off. You may need a colostomy or an ileostomy after surgery. The diseased part of the intestine is removed, and the remaining part is sewn to an opening in the skin. Stool passes out of the body through the opening and collects in a disposable colostomy bag.

Septoplasty

What is the nasal septum?

The nasal septum is the vertical wall that divides the nose into two nasal cavities. It is made up of cartilage (septal cartilage) in the front and thin bone (perpendicular plate of the ethmoid and vomer) in the back. The nasal cavities and nasal septum are lined with a thin membrane of tissue called mucosa.

In order to simplify the anatomy, the nose will be depicted as an isoceles triangle with the septum as the height dropped from the apex.

78

Page 79: question bank and reading material

What is septal deviation?

At birth, the nasal septum is usually straight and remains straight in childhood, however, as age progresses, there is a tendency for the septum to bend to one side or the other, or for an irregular shelf of cartilage or bone to develop (septal spur). Often, there is no history of injury to account for the irregular septum. In some individuals, the septum loses its midline position during the growth process rather than as the result of injury. Few adults have a septum that is completely straight. Sometimes the septum is bent as a result of birth trauma. During childhood or adult life, trauma plays a major factor in producing septal deviation.

What is septoplasty?

Septoplasty is an operation to correct a deformity of the nasal septum. It is sometimes referred to as submucous resection of the septum (SMR) or septal reconstruction. The usual purpose is to improve nasal breathing, but it may also be performed to allow adequate examination of the inside of the nose for treatment of polyps, inflammation, tumors, or bleeding. When the nasal septum is deformed, there is no medicine that will cause it to be straightened, so surgery is the only solution to this problem.

How is septoplasty done?Septoplasty is performed under general or local anesthesia. It takes about one hour and is usually carried out on a day surgery basis. A small incision is made inside the nose. The mucosal lining of the septum is detached from the cartilage and bones of the septum. The deviated portions of the septum are removed or straightened. The nasal lining mucous membrane is replaced. Splints or packs are placed in the nose for a few days. These splints / packs have a straw that allows the patient to breathe from the nose and makes swallowing much easier. There are no external bruises or swelling of the eyes because the outer nasal bones are not broken or interfered with as in cosmetic nasal surgery (nasoplasty / rhinoplasty).

Tonsillitis Definition: Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils, glands that rest in the back of the mouth. Tonsils are part of the infection-fighting immune system and can become infected themselves.

79

Page 80: question bank and reading material

When tonsils become infected, they become red, swollen and very painful. If they become infected repeatedly, a surgery to remove the tonsils, a tonsillectomy, may be necessary.

What is a Tonsillectomy?

A tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the tonsils, glands in the throat that are meant to help fight infection. In some cases, the tonsils are large, or repeatedly become infected instead of fighting infection and must be removed. The tonsillectomy procedure is often combined with an adenoidectomy, which is the removal of an additional set of glands that are also in the throat.

Tonsillectomies are most commonly performed on children, but adults do have the surgery, often when the tonsils are causing a breathing problem like sleep apnea.

Tonsillectomy Surgical Procedure

In most cases, a tonsillectomy is an outpatient procedure, which allows the patient to go home once they are fully awake from surgery. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so the patient is asleep through the surgery, which is usually completed in less than an hour.

Instead of the typical method of intubation, where a breathing tube is passed through the mouth into the airway, the patient is intubated nasally, with the tube inserted in the nose and down into the airway, keeping the mouth available for the surgical procedure.

Once the patient is asleep, the surgery begins. An instrument is used to hold the mouth open, allowing the surgeon to work without the teeth in the way.

The tonsils are then cut away with a scalpel, a laser or a heated instrument. The bleeding is typically controlled by cauterizing the incision. If necessary, an adenoidectomy is also performed, using the same technique.

Once the tonsils and potentially the adenoids are removed and the bleeding is controlled, the surgery is over. The anesthesiologist stops the anesthesia and gives a drug to help the patient wake. When the patient is awake enough to breath without assistance, the breathing tube is removed and the patient is taken to the PACU, or post anesthesia care unit, until they wake completely.

CONJUNCTIVITIS

Conjunctivitis, also called "pinkeye", is defined as an inflammation of the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is the thin membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids and the whites of the eyes (called the sclera) (figure 1). Conjunctivitis can affect children and adults. The most common symptoms of conjunctivitis include a red eye and discharge.

There are many potential causes of conjunctivitis, including bacterial or viral infections, allergies, or a non-specific condition (eg, a foreign body in the eye). All types of conjunctivitis cause a red eye, although not everyone with a red eye has conjunctivitis.

80

Page 81: question bank and reading material

This topic review discusses the signs and symptoms, evaluation, and treatment of the various types of conjunctivitis.

TYPES OF CONJUNCTIVITIS

There are four main types of conjunctivitis: viral, bacterial, allergic, and non-specific. Most cases of infectious conjunctivitis are viral in adults and children; however, bacterial conjunctivitis is more common in children than in adults.

Viral conjunctivitis — Viral conjunctivitis is typically caused by a virus that can also cause the common cold. A person may have symptoms of conjunctivitis alone, or as part of a general cold syndrome, with swollen lymph nodes (glands), fever, a sore throat, and runny nose. (See "Patient information: The common cold in adults (Beyond the Basics)" and "Patient information: The common cold in children (Beyond the Basics)".)

There is no cure for viral conjunctivitis. Recovery can begin within days, although the symptoms frequently get worse for the first three to five days, with gradual improvement over the following one to two weeks for a total course of two to three weeks. Some people experience morning crusting that continues for up to two weeks after the initial symptoms, although the daytime redness, irritation, and tearing should be much improved. (See 'Viral conjunctivitis treatment' below.)

Bacterial conjunctivitis — Bacterial conjunctivitis is highly contagious, often affecting multiple family members or children within a classroom. Bacterial conjunctivitis is spread by contact, usually with objects which have come into contact with the infected person's eye secretions. As examples, the bacterium can be transmitted when an infected person touches their eye and then touches another surface (eg, door handle) or shares an object that has touched their eye (eg, a towel or pillow case).

The most common symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis include redness and thick discharge from one eye, although both eyes can become infected. The discharge may be yellow, white, or green, and it usually continues to drain throughout the day. The affected eye often is "stuck shut" in the morning.

Allergic conjunctivitis — Allergic conjunctivitis is caused by airborne allergens that come in contact with the eye. Symptoms (most commonly redness, watery discharge, and itching of both eyes) may be sudden in onset (acute), seasonal, or present year-round (perennial), depending upon the allergen. Allergic conjunctivitis is discussed in a separate topic. (See "Patient information: Allergic conjunctivitis (Beyond the Basics)".)

CONJUNCTIVITIS TREATMENT

The treatment of conjunctivitis depends upon the cause. For this reason, it is important to have the correct diagnosis before treatment begins.

81

Page 82: question bank and reading material

Viral conjunctivitis treatment — A topical antihistamine/decongestant eye drop may help to relieve the irritation of viral conjunctivitis. These drops are available without a prescription in most pharmacies. However, particular care must be taken to avoid spreading viral infections from one eye to the other. Apply drops only to affected eye and wash hands thoroughly after application. Similar to cold medicines, this treatment may reduce the symptoms but does not shorten the course of the infection. Another option is to use warm or cool compresses, as needed.

Bacterial conjunctivitis treatment — Bacterial conjunctivitis is usually treated with an antibiotic eye drop or ointment. When started early, treatment helps to shorten the duration of symptoms, although most cases do resolve spontaneously if no treatment is used.

Hepatitis

Hepatitis means inflammation (swelling and pain) of the liver. The liver is important for a range of functions in the body. These include regulating metabolism, making proteins, storing vitamins and iron, removing toxins and producing bile.

If the liver doesn’t work properly, it can cause serious illness or sometimes even death. Hepatitis may be caused by infection, viruses, chemicals, alcohol, drug use and other factors. ‘Chronic hepatitis’ means ongoing inflammation of the liver, irrespective of the underlying cause.

The various forms of viral hepatitis are named after different letters of the alphabet. These include hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. They are also sometimes called ‘hep A’, ‘hep B’, ‘hep C’ and so on. While all these viruses affect the liver, they are spread in different ways and have different treatments. The most common types of viral hepatitis in Australia are A, B and C.

Other viruses may also cause hepatitis, such as the yellow fever virus and the virus that causes glandular fever.

Symptoms

Not everyone with hepatitis has symptoms. Generally speaking, when symptoms occur, they may include:

Fever Nausea Abdominal discomfort Dark urine Lethargy (tiredness) Painful joints Oedema (swelling) Easy bruising Jaundice (yellow skin and eyes).

82

Page 83: question bank and reading material

Hepatitis A

Anyone can be infected if they come in direct contact with the hepatitis A virus through food, drinks or objects contaminated by the faeces (poo) of an infected person. Symptoms may last several weeks but the person usually recovers completely. Infection with hepatitis A will give lifelong immunity. However, this doesn’t offer immunity against the other types of hepatitis. A vaccine is available to protect against hepatitis A.

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B virus is found in the blood and, to a lesser degree, in body fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions. You can get hepatitis B through unsafe sex, sharing contaminated injecting drug equipment and other activities where the blood of an infected person enters your bloodstream.

Mothers who have long-term or chronic hepatitis B sometimes pass the virus to their children, either through the womb (rarely), at the time of birth or (more commonly) shortly after birth.

People who become infected with the hepatitis B virus may develop a long-term hepatitis B infection, which occurs when the virus stays in their body for their entire life. Babies and children who become infected are more likely than adults to develop long-term hepatitis B.

A vaccine is available to prevent hepatitis B infection. It is included in the standard immunisation schedule, beginning in infancy. Screening the mother before birth can prevent infection of newborn infants. If a mother tests positive, hepatitis B immunoglobulin is given to the baby when they are born, as well as hepatitis B vaccination.

Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne virus that is spread when blood from an infected person enters another person’s bloodstream. In Australia, the most common way it is transmitted is through sharing unsterile injecting drug equipment. Around 20 to 30 per cent of people who have been infected with hepatitis C may clear the virus from their blood with no treatment. These people no longer have hepatitis C and are not infectious.

Around 70 to 80 per cent of people infected with hepatitis C, if untreated, may continue to have the virus in their blood and are likely to have chronic hepatitis C. Of these, about 10 to 20 per cent will develop cirrhosis, which is scarring of the liver. This can take 20 years or more to develop. A small number of people with cirrhosis may develop liver cancer.

Combination treatment with the medicines pegylated interferon and ribavirin has greatly improved the outcomes for people with hepatitis C. These treatments can help decrease inflammation in the

83

Page 84: question bank and reading material

liver and can clear the virus in 30 to 65 per cent of people, but there are some side effects. There is no vaccine available to prevent hepatitis C infection.

Diagnosis

Tests used to diagnose hepatitis may include blood tests and a liver biopsy (a small piece of liver tissue is taken for laboratory examination).

Treatment

Treatment depends on the type of hepatitis. Please consult your doctor for specific information about treatment. Chronic viral hepatitis – whether due to hepatitis B or C – can, after many years, lead to cirrhosis and primary cancer of the liver.

Things to remember

Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver and has a range of causes, including infection with a virus.

The various forms of viral hepatitis are named after different letters of the alphabet and include hepatitis A, B, C, D and E.

Immunisation is available for hepatitis A and B.

HemorrhoidsRectal lump; Piles; Lump in the rectum

Hemorrhoids are painful, swollen veins in the lower portion of the rectum or anus.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Hemorrhoids are very common, especially during pregnancy and after childbirth. They result from increased pressure in the veins of the anus. The pressure causes the veins to swell, making them painful, particularly when you are sitting.

The most common cause is straining during bowel movements.

Hemorrhoids may be caused by:

Straining during bowel movements Constipation Sitting for long periods of time Anal infections Certain diseases, such as liver cirrhosis

Hemorrhoids may be inside or outside the body.

84

Page 85: question bank and reading material

Internal hemorrhoids occur just inside the anus, at the beginning of the rectum. E External hemorrhoids occur at the anal opening and may hang outside the anus.

Symptoms

Symptoms of hemorrhoids include:

Anal itching Anal ache or pain, especially while sitting Bright red blood on toilet tissue, stool, or in the toilet bowl Pain during bowel movements One or more hard tender lumps near the anus

Signs and tests

A doctor can often diagnose hemorrhoids simply by examining the rectal area. If necessary, tests that may help diagnose the problem include:

Stool guaiac (shows the presence of blood) Sigmoidoscopy Anoscopy

Treatment

Treatments for hemorrhoids include:

Over-the-counter corticosteroid creams to help reduce pain and swelling Hemorrhoid creams with lidocaine to help reduce pain Stool softeners help reduce straining and constipation

Witch hazel (applied with cotton swabs) can reduce itching. Other steps to reduce this itching include:

Wear cotton undergarments. Avoid toilet tissue with perfumes or colors, use baby wipes instead. Try not to scratch the area.

Sitz baths can help you to feel better. Sit in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes.

Surgery that may be done to treat hemorrhoids includes rubber band ligation or surgical hemorrhoidectomy. These procedures are generally used for patients with severe pain or bleeding who have not responded to other therapy.

GlaucomaOpen-angle glaucoma; Chronic glaucoma; Chronic open-angle glaucoma; Primary open-angle glaucoma; Closed-angle glaucoma; Narrow-angle glaucoma; Angle-closure glaucoma; Acute glaucoma; Secondary glaucoma; Congenital glaucoma

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions that lead to damage to the optic nerve. This nerve carries visual information from the eye to the brain.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness in the United States. There are four major types of glaucoma:

Open-angle (chronic) glaucoma Angle-closure (acute) glaucoma Congenital glaucoma Secondary glaucoma

The front part of the eye is filled with a clear fluid called aqueous humor. This fluid is always being made behind the colored part of the eye (the iris). It leaves the eye through channels in the front of the eye in an area called the anterior chamber angle, or simply the angle.

Anything that slows or blocks the flow of this fluid out of the eye will cause pressure to build up in the eye. This pressure is called intraocular pressure (IOP). In most cases of glaucoma, this pressure is high and causes damage to the optic nerve.

Open-angle (chronic) glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma.

The cause is unknown. An increase in eye pressure occurs slowly over time. The pressure pushes on the optic nerve.

Open-angle glaucoma tends to run in families. Your risk is higher if you have a parent or grandparent with open-angle glaucoma. People of African descent are at particularly high risk for this disease.

Angle-closure (acute) glaucoma occurs when the exit of the aqueous humor fluid is suddenly blocked. This causes a quick, severe, and painful rise in the pressure in the eye.

Angle-closure glaucoma is an emergency. This is very different from open-angle glaucoma, which painlessly and slowly damages vision.

If you have had acute glaucoma in one eye, you are at risk for an attack in the second eye, and your doctor is likely to recommend preventive treatment.

Dilating eye drops and certain medications may trigger an acute glaucoma attack.

Congenital glaucoma is seen in babies. It often runs in families (is inherited).

86

Page 87: question bank and reading material

It is present at birth. It is caused by abnormal eye development.

Secondary glaucoma is caused by:

Drugs such as corticosteroids Eye diseases such as uveitis Systemic diseases Trauma

Symptoms

OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA

Most people have no symptoms Once vision loss occurs, the damage is already severe There is a slow loss of side (peripheral) vision (also called tunnel vision) Advanced glaucoma can lead to blindness

ANGLE-CLOSURE GLAUCOMA

Symptoms may come and go at first, or steadily become worse Sudden, severe pain in one eye Decreased or cloudy vision, often called "steamy" vision Nausea and vomiting Rainbow-like halos around lights Red eye Eye feels swollen

CONGENITAL GLAUCOMA

Symptoms are usually noticed when the child is a few months old Cloudiness of the front of the eye Enlargement of one eye or both eyes Red eye Sensitivity to light Tearing

Signs and tests

A complete eye exam is needed to diagnose glaucoma. You may be given eye drop to widen (dilate) your pupil. The eye doctor can look at the inside of the eye when the pupil is dilated.

87

Page 88: question bank and reading material

A test called (tonometry) is done to check eye pressure. However, eye pressure always changes. Eye pressure can be normal in some people with glaucoma. This is called normal-tension glaucoma. Your doctor will need to run other tests to confirm glaucoma.

Treatment

The goal of treatment is to reduce eye pressure. Treatment depends on the type of glaucoma that you have.

If you have open-angle glaucoma, you will probably be given eye drops. You may need more than one type. Most people can be treated successfully with eye drops. Most of the eye drops used today have fewer side effects than those used in the past. You may also be given pills to lower pressure in the eye.

Other treatments may involve:

Laser therapy called an iridotomy Eye surgery if other treatments do not work

Acute angle-closure attack is a medical emergency. Blindness will occur in a few days if it is not treated. If you have angle-closure glaucoma, you will receive:

Eye drops Medicines to lower eye pressure, given by mouth and through a vein (by IV)

Some people also need an emergency operation, called an iridotomy. This procedure uses a laser to open a new pathway in the colored part of the eye. This relieves pressure and prevents another attack.

Congenital glaucoma is almost always treated with surgery. This is done using general anesthesia. This means the patient is asleep and feels no pain.

If you have secondary glaucoma, treatment of the underlying disease may help your symptoms go away. Other treatments may be needed.

Anal Fissure

What is an anal fissure?

88

Page 89: question bank and reading material

An anal fissure is a tear in the lining of the lower rectum (anus) that causes pain during bowel movements. It is a common condition. Anal fissures do not lead to more serious conditions.

Most anal fissures heal with home treatment after a few days or weeks (acute anal fissures). If you have an anal fissure that has not healed after 6 weeks, it is considered a long-term problem (chronic). You may need medicine to help a chronic anal fissure heal. Surgery may be necessary for fissures that do not heal with medicine.

Anal fissures affect people of all ages, particularly young and otherwise healthy people. They are equally common in men and women.

Sometimes an anal fissure and a hemorrhoid develop at the same time.

What causes an anal fissure?

Anal fissures are caused by injury (trauma) to the anal canal. Injury can happen if:

You pass a large stool that stretches the anal canal. You are constipated and try to pass a hard stool. You have repeated diarrhea.

Childbirth can also cause trauma to the anal canal. During childbirth, some women develop anal fissures. Fissures can also be caused by digital insertion (as during an examination), foreign body insertion, or anal intercourse.

Because many people get constipated or have diarrhea without getting anal fissures, many experts believe there is some other cause of anal fissures. Some people may have excessive tension in the two muscular rings (sphincters) controlling the anus. The external anal sphincter is under your conscious control. But the internal anal sphincter is not under your control. This muscle remains under pressure, or tension, all of the time. A fissure may develop if the internal sphincter's resting pressure becomes too high, causing spasm and reducing blood flow to the anus. This high resting pressure can also keep a fissure from healing.

In some cases, an anal fissure may be caused by Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes bloody diarrhea, abdominal (belly) pain, fever, weight loss, and fissures or fistulas near the anus.

What are the symptoms?

An anal fissure causes a sharp, stinging, or burning pain during a bowel movement. The pain, which can be severe, may last for a few hours.

Fissures may itch. They often bleed lightly or cause a yellowish discharge. You may see a small spot of bright red blood on toilet tissue or a few drops in the toilet bowl. The blood is separate from the stool. Very dark, tarry stools or dark red blood mixed with stool indicates some other condition,

89

Page 90: question bank and reading material

possibly inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or colon cancer. You should contact a doctor if you have any bleeding with bowel movements.

Sometimes an anal fissure may be a painless wound that won't heal and that bleeds intermittently but causes no other symptoms.

Most doctors can diagnose an anal fissure from symptoms and by looking at the anus. Usually, the doctor can see the fissure by gently separating the buttocks.

A doctor may use a gloved finger (digital rectal examination) or a lighted instrument (anoscope) to examine the fissure. But if the fissure is extremely painful, the doctor will usually wait until it has begun to heal before performing a rectal exam or using an anoscope (anoscopy) to rule out other problems. A topical anesthetic may be used if an immediate examination is necessary.

During an exam, a doctor can also find out whether another condition may be causing the fissure. If you have several fissures or have one or more in an area of the anus where fissures usually do not occur, you may have another condition such as inflammatory bowel disease, syphilis, a suppressed immune system, tuberculosis, HIV infection, or anal cancer. Most fissures occur along the midline-the top or bottom-of the anus.

How is it treated?

Most acute fissures need some home treatment, including soaking in a shallow tub of warm water (sitz bath) 2 or 3 times a day, increasing fiber in the diet, and taking stool softeners or laxatives. Some people find relief in a day or two of home treatment. Although your pain may go away, it may take several weeks for the fissure to heal completely. Sometimes fissures heal without treatment.

Try to prevent constipation, because it can keep a fissure from healing. The pain of a fissure may make you anxious about having bowel movements. But trying not to have bowel movements will only increase constipation and create a cycle that keeps the fissure open and painful.

Drinking lots of water or other fluids also will make stools softer and easier to pass.

You may want to use a nonprescription ointment such as zinc oxide, Preparation H, Anusol, or 1% hydrocortisone to soothe anal tissues. But evidence suggests that fiber and sitz baths help symptoms better than nonprescription creams.1 Talk with your doctor about whether you should use these medicines for a short period of time.

If a fissure lasts a long time, prescription medicine may help. Prescription medicines used to treat anal fissure include nitroglycerin, high blood pressure medicines, and botulinum toxin (Botox).

You may need to consider surgery if medicines do not stop your symptoms. The most commonly used surgery is lateral internal sphincterotomy. In this procedure, a doctor cuts into part of the internal sphincter to relax the spasm that is causing the fissure.

Peptic ulcerUlcer - peptic; Ulcer - duodenal; Ulcer - gastric; Duodenal ulcer; Gastric ulcer; Dyspepsia - ulcers

A peptic ulcer is a defect in the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine, an area called the duodenum.

A peptic ulcer in the stomach is called a gastric ulcer. An ulcer in the duodenum is called a duodenal ulcer.

Gastritis Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Normally, the lining of the stomach and small intestines is protected against the irritating acids produced in your stomach. If this protective lining stops working correctly and the lining breaks down, it results in inflammation (gastritis) or an ulcer.

Most ulcers occur in the first layer of the inner lining. A hole that goes all the way through the stomach or duodenum is called a perforation. A perforation is a medical emergency.

The most common cause of such damage is infection of the stomach by bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori). Most people with peptic ulcers have these bacteria living in their gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Yet, many people who have these bacteria in their stomach do not develop an ulcer.

The following also raise your risk for peptic ulcers:

Drinking too much alcohol Regular use of aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

(NSAIDs). Taking aspirin or NSAIDs once in a while is safe for most people. Smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco Being very ill, such as being on a breathing machine Having radiation treatments

A rare condition called Zollinger-Ellison syndrome causes stomach and duodenal ulcers. Persons with this disease have a tumor in the pancreas. This tumor releases high levels of a hormone that increases stomach acid.

Many people believe that stress causes ulcers. It is not clear if this is true, at least for everyday stress at home.

Symptoms

Small ulcers may not cause any symptoms. Some ulcers can cause serious bleeding.

91

Page 92: question bank and reading material

Abdominal pain is a common symptom, but it doesn't always occur. The pain can differ from person to person.

Other symptoms include:

Feeling of fullness -- unable to drink as much fluid Hunger and an empty feeling in the stomach, often 1 - 3 hours after a meal Mild nausea (vomiting may relieve this symptom) Pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen Upper abdominal pain that wakes you up at night

Other possible symptoms include:

Bloody or dark tarry stools Chest pain Fatigue Vomiting, possibly bloody Weight loss

Signs and tests

To diagnose an ulcer, your doctor will order one of the following tests:

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD or upper endoscopy) is a special test performed by a gastroenterologist. A thin tube with a camera on the end is inserted through your mouth into the GI tract to see your stomach and small intestine.

Upper GI is a series of x-rays taken after you drink a thick substance called barium.

Upper endoscopy is also done on people who are at high risk for stomach cancer. Risk factors include being over age 45 or having symptoms such as:

Anemia Difficulty swallowing Gastrointestinal bleeding Unexplained weight loss

Testing for H. pylori is also needed.

Your doctor may also order these tests:

Hemoglobin blood test to check for anemia Stool occult blood test to test for blood in your stool

92

Page 93: question bank and reading material

Treatment

Treatment involves a combination of medications to kill the H. pylori bacteria (if present), and reduce acid levels in the stomach. This strategy allows your ulcer to heal and reduces the chance it will come back.

Take all of your medications exactly as prescribed.

If you have a peptic ulcer with an H. pylori infection, the standard treatment uses different combinations of the following medications for 5 - 14 days:

Two different antibiotics to kill H. pylori, such as clarithromycin (Biaxin), amoxicillin, tetracycline, or metronidazole (Flagyl)

Proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), or esomeprazole (Nexium)

Bismuth (the main ingredient in Pepto-Bismol) may be added to help kill the bacteria

If you have an ulcer without an H. pylori infection, or one that is caused by taking aspirin or NSAIDs, your doctor will likely prescribe a proton pump inhibitor for 8 weeks.

You may also be prescribed this type of medicine if you must continue taking aspirin or NSAIDs for other health conditions.

Other medications that may be used for ulcer symptoms or disease are:

Misoprostol, a drug that may help prevent ulcers in people who take NSAIDs on a regular basis

Medications that protect the tissue lining (such as sucralfate)

If a peptic ulcer bleeds a lot, an EGD may be needed to stop the bleeding. Methods used to stop the bleeding include injecting medicine, or applying metal clips to the ulcer. Surgery may be needed if bleeding cannot be stopped with an EGD, or if the ulcer has caused a tear (perforation).

Lung abscess

Lung abscess is defined as necrosis of the pulmonary tissue and formation of cavities containing necrotic debris or fluid caused by microbial infection. The formation of multiple small (< 2 cm) abscesses is occasionally referred to as necrotizing pneumonia or lung gangrene. Both lung abscess and necrotizing pneumonia are manifestations of a similar pathologic process. Failure to recognize and treat lung abscess is associated with poor clinical outcome.

Pathophysiology

Most frequently, the lung abscess arises as a complication of aspiration pneumonia caused by mouth anaerobes. The patients who develop lung abscess are predisposed to aspiration and commonly

93

Page 94: question bank and reading material

have periodontal disease. A bacterial inoculum from the gingival crevice reaches the lower airways, and infection is initiated because the bacteria are not cleared by the patient's host defense mechanism. This results in aspiration pneumonitis and progression to tissue necrosis 7-14 days later, resulting in formation of lung abscess.

Other mechanisms for lung abscess formation include bacteremia or tricuspid valve endocarditis, causing septic emboli (usually multiple) to the lung. Lemierre syndrome, an acute oropharyngeal infection followed by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, is a rare cause of lung abscesses. The oral anaerobe F necrophorum is the most common pathogen.

Causes

The bacterial infection may reach the lungs in several ways. The most common is aspiration of oropharyngeal contents.

Patients at the highest risk for developing lung abscess have the following risk factors: o Periodontal diseaseo Seizure disordero Alcohol abuseo Dysphagia

Other patients at high risk for developing lung abscess include individuals with an inability to protect their airways from massive aspiration because of a diminished gag or cough reflex, caused by a state of impaired consciousness (eg, from alcohol or other CNS depressants, general anesthesia, or encephalopathy).

Infrequently, the following infectious etiologies of pneumonia may progress to parenchymal necrosis and lung abscess formation:

o Pseudomonas aeruginosao K pneumoniaeo S aureus (may result in multiple abscesses)o Streptococcus pneumoniaeo Nocardia specieso Fungal species

An abscess may develop as an infectious complication of a preexisting bulla or lung cyst. An abscess may develop secondary to carcinoma of the bronchus; the bronchial obstruction

causes postobstructive pneumonia, which may lead to abscess formation.

Procedures

Diagnostic material uncontaminated by bacteria colonizing the upper airway may be obtained for anaerobic culture from the following:

Blood culture Pleural fluid (if empyema present) Transtracheal aspirate Transthoracic pulmonary aspirate

94

Page 95: question bank and reading material

Surgical specimens Fiberoptic bronchoscopy with protected brush Bronchoalveolar lavage with quantitative cultures

Expectorated sputum and other methods of sampling the upper airway do not yield useful results for anaerobic culture because the oral cavity is extensively colonized with anaerobes. Blood cultures are infrequently positive in patients with lung abscess, and empyema is rare.

The other modalities listed are invasive, costly, and require laboratory expertise. Bronchoscopy using a protected brush to obtain a specimen uncontaminated by the upper airway or quantitative culture of organisms from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid has been advocated to establish bacteriologic diagnosis in lung abscess. However, the experience with this technique in diagnosis of anaerobic lung infections is limited and the diagnostic yield is uncertain. Perhaps most importantly, cultures obtained by any of these methods are unlikely to be positive after the initiation of antibiotics.[11]

Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy is performed to exclude bronchogenic carcinoma whenever bronchial obstruction is suspected.[12]

Medical Care

Treatment of lung abscess is guided by the available microbiology and knowledge of the underlying or associated conditions. No treatment recommendations have been issued by major societies specifically for lung abscess; however, a guideline summary from the Infectious Diseases Society of America, Practice guidelines for outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy, is available.[13] Some clinical trials referred to below have included patients with aspiration pneumonia with or without lung abscess.

Surgical Care

Surgery is very rarely required for patients with uncomplicated lung abscesses. The usual indications for surgery are failure to respond to medical management, suspected neoplasm, or congenital lung malformation. The surgical procedure performed is either lobectomy or pneumonectomy.

When conventional therapy fails, either percutaneous catheter drainage or surgical resection is usually considered. Endoscopic lung abscess drainage is considered if an airway connection to the cavity can be demonstrated. Success of this treatment represents an additional option other than percutaneous catheter drainage or surgical resection.[19, 20, 21]

Diabetes Mellitus

(Also Called 'Diabetes Mellitus', 'Type 1 Diabetes', 'Type 2 Diabetes')

What is diabetes?

95

Page 96: question bank and reading material

Diabetes mellitus is a disease that prevents your body from properly using the energy from the food you eat. Diabetes occurs when either:

The pancreas (an organ behind your stomach) produces little insulin or no insulin at all. (Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas that helps the body use sugar for energy.)

-Or-

The pancreas makes insulin, but the insulin made does not work as it should. This condition is called insulin resistance.

Understanding metabolism

To better understand diabetes, it helps to know more about how the body uses food for energy (a process called metabolism). Your body is made up of millions of cells. To make energy, the cells need food in a very simple form. When you eat or drink, much of your food is broken down into a simple sugar called glucose. Glucose provides the energy your body needs for daily activities.

The blood vessels and blood are the highways that transport sugar from where it is either taken in (the stomach) or manufactured (in the liver) to the cells where it is used (muscles) or where it is stored (fat). Sugar cannot go into the cells by itself. The pancreas releases insulin into the blood, which serves as the helper, or the "key," that lets sugar into the cells for use as energy.

When sugar leaves the bloodstream and enters the cells, the blood sugar level is lowered. Without insulin, or the "key," sugar cannot get into the body's cells for use as energy. This causes sugar to rise. Too much sugar in the blood is called "hyperglycemia" (high blood sugar) or diabetes.

Two main types of diabetes

Type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes occurs because the insulin-producing cells (called beta cells) of the pancreas are damaged. People with Type 1 diabetes produce little or no insulin, so sugar cannot get into the body's cells for use as energy. This causes blood sugar levels to rise. People with Type 1 diabetes MUST use insulin injections to control their blood sugar.

The damage to the insulin-producing cells in Type 1 diabetes occurs over a period of years. However, the symptoms of Type 1 diabetes might occur over a period of days to weeks. Type 1 is the most common form of diabetes in people younger than 20 years old, but it can occur at any age.

Type 2 diabetes

People with Type 2 diabetes produce insulin. However, there is either not enough insulin or it doesn't work properly in the body. When there is not enough insulin or the insulin is not used as it

96

Page 97: question bank and reading material

should be, sugar cannot get into the body's cells for use as energy. This causes blood sugar to rise. Type 2 diabetes is most common in people over age 45 who are overweight. Some people with Type 2 diabetes can manage it by controlling their weight, watching their diet, and exercising regularly. Others might also need to take an oral medicine and/or insulin injections.

Other types of diabetes

Specific types of diabetes might result from pregnancy (gestational diabetes), surgery, use of certain medicines, various illnesses, and other specific causes.

What are the symptoms of diabetes?

The symptoms of diabetes include:

Increased thirst Increased hunger (especially after eating) Dry mouth Frequent urination Unexplained weight loss (even though you are eating and feel hungry) Weak, tired feeling Blurred vision Numbness or tingling of the hands or feet Slow healing sores or cuts Dry and itchy skin (usually in the vaginal or groin area) Frequent yeast infections

Diabetes risk factors

A family history of diabetes Race or ethnic background Being overweight History of hypertension (high blood pressure) Abnormal blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels Advancing age Certain drugs (These might increase blood sugar.) Years of heavy alcohol use Smoking History of gestational diabetes or delivery of a baby weighing more than 9 pounds. History of autoimmune disease Being at risk for diabetes

It is important to note that sugar itself does not cause diabetes. Eating a lot of sugar can lead to tooth decay, but it does not cause diabetes.

How is diabetes diagnosed?

97

Page 98: question bank and reading material

Diabetes is diagnosed with fasting sugar blood tests or with A1c blood tests, also known as glycated hemoglobin tests. A fasting blood sugar test is performed after you have had nothing by mouth (eating or drinking) for at least 8 hours. Normal fasting blood sugar is less than 100 mg/dl. You do not have to be fasting for an A1c blood test.

Diabetes is diagnosed by one of the following:

Your blood sugar level is equal to or greater than 126 mg/dl. You have two random blood sugar tests over 200 mg/dl with symptoms. You have an oral glucose tolerance test with results over 200 mg/dl. Your A1c test is greater than 6.5% on two separate days.

An A1c test should be performed in a laboratory using a method that is certified by the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) and standardized to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) assay.

Otitis Media

About Middle Ear Infections

Inflammation in the middle ear area is known as otitis media. When referring to an ear infection, doctors most likely mean "acute otitis media" rather than the common ear infection called swimmer's ear, or otitis externa.

Acute otitis media is the presence of fluid, typically pus, in the middle ear with symptoms of pain, redness of the eardrum, and possible fever.

Other forms of otitis media are either more chronic (fluid is in the middle ear for 6 or more weeks) or the fluid in the middle ear is temporary and not necessarily infected (called otitis media with effusion).

Doctors try to distinguish between the different forms of otitis because this affects treatment options. Not all forms of otitis need to be treated with antibiotics.

Causes

Kids develop ear infections more frequently in the first 2 to 4 years of life for several reasons:

Their eustachian tubes are shorter and more horizontal than those of adults, which allows bacteria and viruses to find their way into the middle ear more easily. Their tubes are also narrower and less stiff, which makes them more prone to blockage.

The adenoids, which are gland-like structures located in the back of the upper throat near the eustachian tubes, are large in children and can interfere with the opening of the eustachian tubes.

98

Page 99: question bank and reading material

A number of other factors can contribute to kids getting ear infections, such as exposure to cigarette smoke, bottle-feeding, and day-care attendance.

Ear infections also occur more commonly in boys than girls, in kids whose families have a history of ear infections, and during the winter season when upper respiratory tract infections or colds are frequent.

Signs and Symptoms

The signs and symptoms of acute otitis media may range from very mild to severe:

The fluid in the middle ear may push on the eardrum, causing ear pain. An older child may complain of an earache, but a younger child may tug at the ear or simply act irritable and cry more than usual.

Lying down, chewing, and sucking can also cause painful pressure changes in the middle ear, so a child may eat less than normal or have trouble sleeping.

If the pressure from the fluid buildup is high enough, it can cause the eardrum to rupture, resulting in drainage of fluid from the ear. This releases the pressure behind the eardrum, usually bringing relief from the pain.

CataractLens opacity; Age-related cataract

Last reviewed: September 16, 2011.

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye.

This article focuses on cataracts in adults. For information on cataracts in children, see: Congenital cataracts

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

The lens of the eye is normally clear. It acts like the lens on a camera, focusing light as it passes to the back of the eye.

Until a person is around age 45, the shape of the lens is able to change. This allows the lens to focus on an object, whether it is close or far away.

As we age, proteins in the lens begin to break down and the lens becomes cloudy. What the eye sees may appear blurry. This condition is known as a cataract.

Factors that may speed up cataract formation are:

Diabetes Eye inflammation

99

Page 100: question bank and reading material

Eye injury Family history of cataracts Long-term use of corticosteroids (taken by mouth) or certain other medications Radiation exposure Smoking Surgery for another eye problem Too much exposure to ultraviolet light (sunlight)

In many cases, the cause of cataract is unknown.

Symptoms

Adult cataracts develop slowly and painlessly. Vision in the affected eye or eyes slowly gets worse.

Mild clouding of the lens often occurs after age 60, but it may not cause any vision problems. By age 75, most people have cataracts that affect their vision.

Visual problems may include the following changes:

Being sensitive to glare Cloudy, fuzzy, foggy, or filmy vision Difficulty seeing at night or in dim light Double vision Loss of color intensity Problems seeing shapes against a background or the difference between shades of colors Seeing halos around lights

Cataracts generally lead to decreased vision, even in daylight. Most people with cataracts have similar changes in both eyes, although one eye may be worse than the other. Many people with this condition have only mild vision changes.

Other symptoms may include:

Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription

Signs and tests

A standard eye exam and slit-lamp examination are used to diagnose cataracts. Other diagnostic tests are rarely needed, except to rule out other possible causes of poor vision.

Treatment

The following may help people who have an early cataract:

Better eyeglasses

100

Page 101: question bank and reading material

Better lighting Magnifying lenses Sunglasses

As vision gets worse, you may need to make changes around the home to avoid falls and injuries.

The only treatment for a cataract is surgery to remove it. Surgery is done if you cannot perform normal activities, such as driving, reading, or looking at computer or video screens, even with glasses.

If a cataract is not bothersome, surgery is usually not necessary. Cataracts usually do not harm your eye, so you can have surgery when it is convenient for you.

However, some people may have additional eye problems, such as diabetic retinopathy, that cannot be treated without first having cataract surgery.

For information on surgery, see: Cataract surgery

ObesityMorbid obesity; Fat - obese

Obesity means having too much body fat. It is not the same as being overweight, which means weighing too much. A person may be overweight from extra muscle, bone, or water, as well as from having too much fat.

Both terms mean that a person's weight is higher than what is thought to be healthy for his or her height.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Taking in more calories than you burn can lead to obesity because the body stores unused calories as fat. Obesity can be caused by:

Eating more food than your body can use Drinking too much alcohol Not getting enough exercise

Many obese people who lose large amounts of weight and gain it back think it is their fault. They blame themselves for not having the willpower to keep the weight off. Many people regain more weight than they lost.

Today, we know that biology is a big reason why some people cannot keep the weight off. Some people who live in the same place and eat the same foods become obese, while others do not. Our

101

Page 102: question bank and reading material

bodies have a complex system to help keep our weight at a healthy level. In some people, this system does not work normally.

Other factors that affect weight include:

The way we eat when we are children can affect the way we eat as adults. The way we eat over many years becomes a habit. It affects what we eat, when we eat, and how much we eat.

We are surrounded by things that make it easy to overeat and hard to stay active: o Many people do not have time to plan and make healthy meals.o More people today work desk jobs compared to more active jobs in the past.o People with less free time have less time to exercise.

The term "eating disorder" means a group of medical conditions that have an unhealthy focus on eating, dieting, losing or gaining weight, and body image. A person may be obese, follow an unhealthy diet, and have an eating disorder all at the same time.

Sometimes, medical problems or treatments cause weight gain, including:

Underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) Medicines such as birth control pills, antidepressants, and antipsychotics

Other things that can cause weight gain are:

Quitting smoking. Most people who quit smoking gain 4 - 10 pounds in the first 6 months after quitting. Some people gain as much as 25 - 30 pounds.

Stress, anxiety, feeling sad, or not sleeping well For women:

o Menopause -- women may gain 12-15 pounds during menopauseo Not losing the weight they gained during pregnancy

Signs and tests

The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history, eating habits, and exercise routine.

The two most common ways to assess your weight and measure health risks related to your weight are:

Body mass index (BMI) Waist circumference (your waist measurement in inches)

BMI is calculated using height and weight. You and your health care provider can use your BMI to estimate how much body fat you have.

102

Page 103: question bank and reading material

Your waist measurement is another way to estimate how much body fat you have. Extra weight around your middle or stomach area increases your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. People with "apple-shaped" bodies (meaning their waist is bigger than their hips) also have an increased risk for these diseases.

Skin fold measurements may be taken to check your body fat percentage.

Blood tests may be done to look for thyroid or hormone problems that could lead to weight gain. However, these tests are usually normal.

Treatment

CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE

An active lifestyle and plenty of exercise, along with healthy eating, is the safest way to lose weight. Even modest weight loss can improve your health. You will need a lot of support from family and friends.

When dieting, your main goal should be to learn new, healthy ways of eating and make them a part of your daily routine.

Many people find it hard to change their eating habits and behaviors. You may have practiced some habits for so long that you may not even know they are unhealthy, or you do them without thinking. You need to be motivated to make lifestyle changes. Make the behavior change part of your life over the long term. Know that it takes time to make and keep a change in your lifestyle.

Work with your health care provider and dietitian to set realistic, safe daily calorie counts that help you lose weight while staying healthy. Remember that if you drop pounds slowly and steadily, you are more likely to keep them off. Your dietitian can teach you about:

Healthy food choices Healthy snacks How to read nutrition labels New ways to prepare food Portion sizes Sweetened drinks

Extreme diets (fewer than 1,100 calories per day) are not thought to be safe or to work very well. These types of diets often do not contain enough vitamins and minerals. Most people who lose weight this way return to overeating and become obese again.

Learn new ways to manage stress, rather than snacking. Examples may be meditation, yoga, or exercise. If you are depressed or stressed a lot, talk to your health care provider.

MEDICATIONS AND HERBAL REMEDIES

103

Page 104: question bank and reading material

You may see ads for supplements and herbal remedies that claim they will help you lose weight. Many of these claims are not true. Some of these supplements can have serious side effects. Talk to your health care provider before using them.

You can discuss weight loss drugs with your doctor. Most people lose between 5 and 10 pounds by taking these drugs. Most people also regain the weight when they stop taking the medicine, unless they have made lasting lifestyle changes.

SURGERY

Bariatric surgery can reduce the risk of disease in people with severe obesity. These risks include:

Arthritis Diabetes Heart disease High blood pressure Sleep apnea Some cancers Stroke

Surgery may help people who have been very obese for 5 years or more and have not lost weight from other treatments, such as diet, exercise, or medicine.

Surgery alone is not the answer for weight loss. It can train you to eat less, but you still have to do much of the work. You must be committed to diet and exercise after surgery. Talk to your doctor to learn if this is a good option for you.

Weight-loss surgeries include:

Laparoscopic gastric banding Gastric bypass surgery Sleeve gastrectomy (less common)

StrokeCerebrovascular disease; CVA; Cerebral infarction; Cerebral hemorrhage; Ischemic stroke; Stroke - ischemic; Cerebrovascular accident; Stroke - hemorrhagic

Last reviewed: June 24, 2011.

A stroke happens when blood flow to a part of the brain stops. A stroke is sometimes called a "brain attack."

104

Page 105: question bank and reading material

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

If blood flow is stopped for longer than a few seconds, the brain cannot get blood and oxygen. Brain cells can die, causing permanent damage.

There are two major types of stroke: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.

Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot. This may happen in two ways:

A clot may form in an artery that is already very narrow. This is called a thrombotic stroke. A clot may break off from another place in the blood vessels of the brain, or from some other

part of the body, and travel up to the brain. This is called cerebral embolism, or an embolic stroke.

Ischemic strokes may be caused by clogged arteries. Fat, cholesterol, and other substances collect on the artery walls, forming a sticky substance called plaque.

A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in part of the brain becomes weak and bursts open, causing blood to leak into the brain. Some people have defects in the blood vessels of the brain that make this more likely.

Aneurysm Arteriovenous malformation (AVM)

STROKE RISK FACTORS

High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for strokes. The other major risk factors are:

Atrial fibrillation Diabetes Family history of stroke High cholesterol Increasing age, especially after age 55 Race (black people are more likely to die of a stroke)

People who have heart disease or poor blood flow in their legs caused by narrowed arteries are also more likely to have a stroke.

The chance of stroke is higher in people who live an unhealthy lifestyle by:

Being overweight or obese Drinking heavily Eating too much fat or salt

105

Page 106: question bank and reading material

Smoking Taking cocaine and other illegal drugs

Birth control pills can increase the chances of having blood clots. The risk is highest in woman who smoke and are older than 35.

For more information, see: Stroke risk factors

Symptoms

The symptoms of stroke depend on what part of the brain is damaged. In some cases, a person may not know that he or she has had a stroke.

Symptoms usually develop suddenly and without warning. Or, symptoms may occur on and off for the first day or two. Symptoms are usually most severe when the stroke first happens, but they may slowly get worse.

A headache may occur, especially if the stroke is caused by bleeding in the brain. The headache:

Starts suddenly and may be severe Occurs when you are lying flat Wakes you up from sleep Gets worse when you change positions or when you bend, strain, or cough

Other symptoms depend on how severe the stroke is and what part of the brain is affected. Symptoms may include:

Change in alertness (including sleepiness, unconsciousness, and coma) Changes in hearing Changes in taste Changes that affect touch and the ability to feel pain, pressure, or different temperatures Clumsiness Confusion or loss of memory Difficulty swallowing Difficulty writing or reading Dizziness or abnormal feeling of movement (vertigo) Lack of control over the bladder or bowels Loss of balance Loss of coordination Muscle weakness in the face, arm, or leg (usually just on one side) Numbness or tingling on one side of the body Personality, mood, or emotional changes Problems with eyesight, including decreased vision, double vision, or total loss of vision Trouble speaking or understanding others who are speaking Trouble walking

106

Page 107: question bank and reading material

Signs and tests

A complete exam should be done. Your doctor will:

Check for problems with vision, movement, feeling, reflexes, understanding, and speaking. Your doctor and nurses will repeat this exam over time to see if your stroke is getting worse or improving.

Listen for an abnormal sound, called a "bruit," when using a stethoscope to listen to the carotid arteries in the neck. A bruit is caused by abnormal blood flow.

Check your blood pressure, which may be high.

Tests can help your doctor find the type, location, and cause of the stroke and rule out other disorders.

Angiogram of the head can show which blood vessel is blocked or bleeding Carotid duplex (ultrasound) can show if the carotid arteries in your neck have narrowed CT scan of the brain is often done soon after symptoms of a stroke begin. An MRI scan of the

brain may be done instead or afterwards Echocardiogram may be done if the stroke could have been caused by a blood clot from the

heart Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) or CT angiography may be done to check for

abnormal blood vessels in the brain

Treatment

A stroke is a medical emergency. Immediate treatment can save lives and reduce disability. Call 911 or your local emergency number or seek urgent medical care at the first signs of a stroke.

It is very important for people who are having stroke symptoms to get to a hospital as quickly as possible. If the stroke is caused by a blood clot, a clot-busting drug may be given to dissolve the clot.

Most of the time, patients must reach a hospital within 3 hours after symptoms begin. Some people may be able to receive these drugs for up to 4 - 5 hours after symptoms begin.

Treatment depends on how severe the stroke was and what caused it. Most people who have a stroke need to stay in a hospital.

TREATMENT IN THE HOSPITAL

Clot-busting drugs (thrombolytic therapy) may be used if the stroke is caused by a blood clot. This medicine breaks up blood clots and helps bring back blood flow to the damaged area. However, not everyone can get this type of medicine.

107

Page 108: question bank and reading material

For these drugs to work, a person must be seen and treatment must begin within 3 hours of when the symptoms first started. A CT scan must be done to see whether the stroke is from a clot or from bleeding.

If the stroke is caused by bleeding instead of clotting, clot-busting drugs (thrombolytics) can cause more bleeding.

Other treatments depend on the cause of the stroke:

Blood thinners such as heparin or warfarin (Coumadin) may be used to treat strokes due to blood clots. Aspirin or clopidogrel (Plavix) may also be used.

Other medicine may be needed to control symptoms such as high blood pressure. In some situations, a special stroke team and skilled radiologists may be able to use

angiography to highlight the clogged blood vessel and open it up. If bleeding occurred, surgery is often needed to remove blood from around the brain and to

fix damaged blood vessels. Surgery on the carotid artery may be needed.

LONG-TERM TREATMENT

The goal of treatment after a stroke is to help the patient recover as much function as possible and prevent future strokes.

The recovery time and need for long-term treatment is different for each person. Problems moving, thinking, and talking often improve in the weeks to months after a stroke. A number of people who have had a stroke will keep improving in the months or years after the stroke.

Anesthesia

Anaesthesia has traditionally meant the condition of having sensation (including the feeling of pain) blocked. This allows patients to undergo surgery and other procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise experience. The word was coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. in 1846. Another definition is a “reversible lack of awareness”, whether this is a total lack of awareness (e.g. a general anaesthestic) or a lack of awareness of a part of a the body such as a spinal anaesthetic or another nerve block would cause. Anesthesia differs from analgesia in blocking all sensation, not only pain.

Classification:

A. General Anesthesia - is the loss of all sensation and consciousness. Protective reflexes such as cough and gag reflexes are lost. A general anesthetic acts by blocking awareness centers in the brain so that amnesia (loss of memory), analgesia (insensibility to pain), hypnosis (artificial sleep), and relaxation (rendering a part of the body less tense) occur. General anesthetics are usually administered by intravenous infusion or by inhalation of gases through a mask or through an endotracheal tube inserted into the trachea.

108

Page 109: question bank and reading material

Advantages:

1. Because the client is unconscious rather then awake and anxious, respiration and cardiac function are readily regulated.

2. The anesthesia can be adjusted to the length of the operation and the client’s age and physical status.

Disadvantage:

1. It depresses the respiratory and circulatory systems.2. Some clients become more anxious about a general anesthetic that about the surgery

itself. Often this is because they fear losing the capacity to control their own bodies.

B. Regional Anesthesia -

Regional anaesthesia is the temporary interruption of the transmission of nerve impulses to and from a specific area or region of the body. The client loss sensation in an area of the body but remains conscious. Several techniques are used:

Topical (surface) Anesthesia Is applied directly to the skin and mucous membranes, open skin surfaces, wounds, and burns. The most common used topical agents are lidocaine (Xylocaine) and benzocaine. Topical anesthetics are readily absorbed and act rapidly.

Local Anesthesia (Infiltration)is injected into a specific area and is used for minor surgical procedures such as suturing a small wound or performng a biopsy. Lidocaine or tetracaine 0.1% may be used.

Nerve Block Is a technique in which the anesthetic agent is injected into and around a nerve or small nerve group that supplies sensation to a small area of the body. Major blocks involve multiple nerves or a plexus (e.g. the brachial plexus anesthetizes the arm); minor blocks involve a single nerve (e.g. a facial nerve)

Intravenous block (Bier block)

Is used most often for procedures involving the arm, wrist and hand. An occlusion tourniquet is applied to the extremity to prevent infiltration and absorption of the injected intravenous agent beyond the involved extremity.

Spinal anesthesia (Subarachnoid block)

It requires a lumbar puncture through one of the interspaces between lumbar disc 2 (L2) and the sacrum (S1). An anesthetic agent is injected into the subarachnoid space surrounding the spinal cord. Categorized into Low Spinals (saddle or caudal blocks) are primarily used for surgeries involving the perineal or rectal areas. Mild Spinals (below the level of the umbilicus – T10) can be used for hernia repairs or appendectomies. High Spinals (reaching the nipple line – T4) can be used for surgeries such as cesarean sections.

109

Page 110: question bank and reading material

Epidural (peridural) anesthesia

Is an injection of an anesthetic agent into the epidural space, the area inside the spinal column but outside the dura mater.

Conscious Sedation may be used alone or in conjuction with regional anesthesia for some diagnostic tests and surgical procedures. Conscious sedation refers to minimal depression of the level of consciousness in which the client retains the ability to maintain a patent airway and respond appropriately to commands.

Intravenous narcotics such as morphine or fentanyl (Sublimaze) and antianxiety agents such as diazepam (Valium) or midazolam (Versed) are commonly used to induce and maintain conscious sedation. Conscious sedation increases the client’s pain threshold and induces a degree of amnesia but allows for prompt reversal of its effects and a rapid return to normal activities of daily living. Procedures such as endoscopies, incision and drainage of abcesses, and even balloon angioplasty may be performed under conscious sedation.

Risk Factors for Complications During the Procedure:

Current or past health problems Taking medications, supplements, or herbal remedies, blood thinners Allergies (eg, food allergies, medication allergies, latex allergies) Smoking Drinking alcohol Taking recreational drugs Personal or family history of adverse reactions to anesthesia

Possible Complications:

Pain and tenderness around the injection site Bruising, infection, or bleeding of the injection site Hematoma (a mass of clotted blood that forms in a tissue, organ, or body space as a result of

a broken blood vessel) Spinal headache (a severe headache that may occur after spinal or epidural anesthesia) Decrease in blood pressure

Nerve damage Medication mistakenly injected into a vein; symptoms include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and

funny taste or numbness around the mouth Horner’s syndrome (change of pupil size on one side) Ptosis (drooping of the eyelid) Pneumothorax (air trapped between the lung and rib cage)
