Research Report Summary

Topic Summary (from www.emedicine.com): Emergency Department Care: ED care is aimed at making the diagnosis, preventing further ischemia, and treating the underlying cause. Treatment of the underlying cause is directed in the case of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at coronary artery reperfusion. This is best accomplished with rapid transfer of the patient to a cardiac catheterization laboratory. The ED physician should be alert to the fact that the shock trial demonstrated that PCI or coronary artery bypass are the treatments of choice and that they have been shown to markedly decrease mortality rates at 1 year. PCI should be initiated within 90 minutes of presentation; however, it remains helpful, as an acute intervention, within 12 hours of presentation. If such a facility is not immediately available, thrombolytics should be considered. However, this treatment is second best.

Major Themes:
  • acute shock: The shock Trauma acute Care is located in the 4H wing of the UMMC South hospital, and provides multidisciplinary comprehensive acute care to patients who have sustained multiple trauma and orthopedic injuries. (from www.umm.edu)
  • acute myocardial infarction: Treatment of the underlying cause is directed in the case of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at coronary artery reperfusion (from www.emedicine.com)
  • hemorrhagic shock: Physical: The physical examination in patients with hemorrhagic shock is a directed process (from www.emedicine.com)
  • trauma patients: Differences exist between medical patients and trauma patients in these regards (from www.emedicine.com)
  • blood pressure: The most damaging consequences of these bacteria and toxins include poor functioning of the heart muscle; widening of the diameter of the blood vessels; a drop in blood pressure ; activation of the blood clotting system, causing blood clots , followed by a risk of uncontrollable bleeding; damage to the lungs, causing acute respiratory distress syndrome ; liver failure; kidney failure; and coma . (from www.answers.com)
  • respiratory distress syndrome: respiratory distress syndrome , Adult. (from worldcat.org)
