Emerg codes 1
Emerg codes 1Ahmad Thanin
油
The document provides information on various emergency codes used in hospitals. It defines codes for cardiac arrest (Code Blue), external disasters (Code Yellow), child abductions (Code Pink), physical assaults (Code Purple), bomb threats or internal disasters (Code Black), fires (Code Red), and evacuations (Code Orange). For each code, it describes how and when to activate the code, the objectives, and procedures for responding. For example, for Code Blue it notes to start life support, have the code blue team arrive within 5 minutes, and lists the code blue team members. The codes provide a way to quickly convey emergencies to staff while preventing panic.Effect of electrolytes on cardiac rhythm
Effect of electrolytes on cardiac rhythmAhmad Thanin
油
Electrolyte imbalances can cause cardiac arrhythmias by disrupting the normal ionic balance across cardiac cell membranes. Common electrolyte disorders include hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypermagnesemia. Each has distinct ECG patterns - for example, hyperkalemia causes tall peaked T waves while hypokalemia causes ST depression and flattened T waves. Treatment involves replacing the deficient electrolyte or removing excess electrolytes.Atrial dysrhythmia
Atrial dysrhythmiaAhmad Thanin
油
This document defines and describes characteristics of various atrial and ventricular arrhythmias seen on electrocardiograms (ECGs). It outlines the normal sinus rhythm and discusses several types of atrial dysrhythmias including sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, junctional rhythm, supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation. It also covers idioventricular rhythms, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and Torsades de Pointes. The objectives are to relate ECG features to physiological processes, develop reasoning skills to explain less common abnormalities, and identify potential care pathways for patients presenting with various ECG changes.悋愕悸

This document provides information on drugs used in ACLS including:
- Epinephrine, vasopressin, amiodarone, lidocaine, and magnesium for pulseless ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
- Epinephrine and vasopressin for PEA and asystole.
- Medications like adenosine, diltiazem, beta blockers, amiodarone, digoxin, and verapamil for treating tachycardia.
- Atropine, epinephrine, and dopamine for treating bradycardia.
- Oxygen, aspirin, nitroglycerine, morphine, heparinBurn
BurnAhmad Thanin
油
This document provides guidance on assessing and treating burns and thermal injuries. It outlines the primary and secondary survey process, including securing the airway and assessing breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure. It describes ordering appropriate labs and imaging. Treatment involves IV fluids for larger burns, wound cleaning and dressing, supportive care, and transfer to burn centers if needed. Fluid resuscitation formulas are provided for adults and children. First, second, and third degree burns are defined based on skin layer damage.Bleeding management
Bleeding managementAhmad Thanin
油
This document describes different types of wounds, principles of bleeding, and first aid procedures for external and internal bleeding. It outlines signs and symptoms of blood loss and discusses managing external bleeding through direct pressure, indirect pressure, or tourniquet methods as a last resort. For internal bleeding, signs may be subtle but include pale skin and changing vital signs. First aid involves maintaining ABCs, fluids, blood transfusion, and potentially surgery while seeking medical help. Just Culture in Health care
Just Culture in Health care Ahmad Thanin
油
This document discusses Just Culture, which aims to create a safety-supportive culture in healthcare organizations. A Just Culture balances assessing systems, processes, and human behavior when errors are reported. The goal is to design safe systems that reduce human error and capture errors before reaching patients. It also holds individuals accountable for behavioral choices. The document outlines how organizations should distinguish between human error, at-risk behavior, and reckless behavior when investigating incidents. A Just Culture seeks to learn from accidents to prevent repetition, rather than focusing solely on blame.Quality improvement
Quality improvementAhmad Thanin
油
This document provides an introduction to quality improvement. It defines quality improvement as a formal approach to analyzing performance and systematically improving it, as opposed to quality assurance which focuses on finding faults. The Model for Improvement, consisting of setting an aim, establishing measures, and testing changes via the PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) cycle, is introduced as a framework for quality improvement. Key aspects like establishing a team, choosing appropriate measures, developing potential changes using techniques like flowcharts, and testing changes through small tests of change are discussed. An example case focusing on reducing pain for emergency department patients with fractures is used to demonstrate applying the Model for Improvement.Pain management
Pain managementAhmad Thanin
油
This document discusses pain management and common misconceptions about pain. It defines pain and describes pain assessment and different types of pain. Non-pharmacological and pharmacological pain management methods are outlined, including the WHO analgesic ladder and use of opioid and non-opioid medications. Side effects of pain medications are also summarized. Assessment tools for pain are listed along with why standardized scales are important for evaluating pain.Fall prevention
Fall prevention Ahmad Thanin
油
This document outlines a falls prevention program with the objectives of maintaining patient safety, reducing injury risk, and determining how falls occur. It defines falls and near falls, identifies individual and environmental risk factors, and describes a protocol for assessing falls risk upon admission and after changes. The protocol includes implementing standard precautions like raising bed rails, hourly checks, and education for low, moderate, and high risk patients. It also describes post-fall care and reporting procedures.Blood transfusion
Blood transfusionAhmad Thanin
油
Blood transfusion is the process of transferring blood or blood products into the circulatory system to treat conditions arranged by a doctor. Blood comes from unpaid and voluntary donors in Saudi hospitals and is collected with sterile, single-use equipment. Blood products include red blood cells, platelets, plasma, and more. Blood is typed by groups like A, B, AB, and O, and Rh factor. Tests for diseases like hepatitis, HIV, and syphilis are conducted before transfusion. The transfusion procedure involves verifying the order, preparing equipment, assessing the patient, administering through an IV line while monitoring for reactions, and following policy guidelines.patient right
patient right Ahmad Thanin
油
This document outlines a hospital's policy for managing patient and family rights. The objectives are to fulfill ethical commitments to patient rights and achieve total customer satisfaction. All staff must follow the policy and be aware of patient rights and responsibilities. The bill of rights ensures privacy, respect for values and beliefs, confidentiality, and access to care. Staff roles include distributing the bill of rights, ensuring patients understand their rights, and respecting patients' rights to privacy, information, complaints, and refusal of care. The overall goal is to protect patient rights.Managing Patient & Family Rights and Responsibilities
Managing Patient & Family Rights and Responsibilities Ahmad Thanin
油
This document outlines a hospital's policy to maintain patients' rights to receive information and participate in their care. The policy states that patients or their families have the right to be informed about diagnoses, treatment plans, costs, and participate in care decisions. Doctors are responsible for ensuring patients understand their conditions and options. All clinical staff must respect patients' preferences, privacy, and allow participation. The goal is to fulfill the ethical commitment to involve patients in their care through open communication and informed decision making.More Related Content
