While using technological tools to obtain the patient’s vital signs including: oxygen saturation‚ respiratory rate‚ heart rate‚ blood pressure‚ heart rhythm and pain level on a 1-10 scale. The nurse could complete a blood sugar check with a glucose monitor. At the same time nurse should do a thorough assessment of what the patients normal values are for vital signs‚ and blood glucose ranges are while at home prior to the injury. This will be helpful in having a baseline to refer to while interventions

.2 Consequences for Hypomagnesaemia Serum magnesium concentration is seldom being measured in routine blood tests. Thus‚ to identify this issue‚ it requires direct measure in clinical situations that usually associated with the disturbance of magnesium homeostasis‚ such as chronic diarrhoea‚ hypokalaemia‚ cardiac arrhythmias and hypocalcaemia. Hypomagnesaemia has been observed in 12%of hospitalized patients‚ and the incidence may rise above 60% in patients in ICU. Magnesium deficiency produces in

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive‚ neurodegenerative disease meaning it will worsen over time. It primarily affects dopamine neuron cells in the substantia nigra area of the brain‚ which is in the midbrain region. When the dopamine neuronal cells fall to a certain threshold level‚ symptoms will appear. One symptom is shakiness in the arms or hands‚ which are involuntary muscle tremors. These are uncontrollable jerky movements‚ regardless of whether the individual is resting or moving around

new ideas that have developed within the last few years in the way of health monitoring devices. There is a wristband available for you to monitor your exercise‚ health‚ behavior‚ and blood pressure. It helps you to understand your exercise and sleep patterns. Also out there for you to detect your blood pressure are ear buds. Some of the health monitoring devices are able to be embedded under your skin or worn as a tiny patch under clothing. The sensors provide feedback for you or your doctor to

rapid haemorrhage. The second natural stimuli is an increase in plasma osmotic pressure. Loss of cell water is detected by osmoreceptors‚ located mainly in the hypothalamus‚ and their stimulation gives rise to thirst. Hypovolemia is detected by vascular stretch receptors which are found in the walls of heart and vasculature (Gauer & Henry‚ 1963). During hypovolemia‚ angiotensin II levels in plasma increase due to low pressure in the renal artery that stimulates renin release. The brain is then informed

Hemodynamic monitoring is just that; monitoring the hemodynamic status of a patient. This can be from simple things such as assessing the blood pressure with a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer‚ or more invasive like assessing the CVP or central venous pressure. In better words‚ the goal of hemodynamic monitoring is to measure the adequacy of perfusion. Early detection of any inadequacy is critical in early interventions of helping return unstable patients back to their normal baseline. ICU patients
