Arterial bleeding: As the name suggests, blood flow originating in an artery. With this type of bleeding, the blood is typically bright red to yellowish in colour, due to the high degree of oxygenation. Blood typically exits the wound in spurts, rather than in a steady flow; the blood spurts out in time with the heartbeat. The amount of blood ...
Reperfusion therapy is a medical treatment to restore blood flow, either through or around, blocked arteries, typically after a heart attack (myocardial infarction (MI)). Reperfusion therapy includes drugs and surgery. The drugs are thrombolytics and fibrinolytics used in a process called thrombolysis.
The technique is done by tightening the skeletal muscles for about 15 seconds when the exposure occurs and then slowing releasing them. [21] This is then repeated every 30 seconds for a few minutes. [21] Because vasovagal syncope causes a decrease in blood pressure, relaxing the entire body as a mode of avoidance is not favorable. [19]
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is when the valves in the leg veins don’t work right and inappropriately allow blood to flow backward, back into the legs/feet from the effects of gravity.
Fluid replacement or fluid resuscitation is the medical practice of replenishing bodily fluid lost through sweating, bleeding, fluid shifts or other pathologic processes. . Fluids can be replaced with oral rehydration therapy (drinking), intravenous therapy, rectally such as with a Murphy drip, or by hypodermoclysis, the direct injection of fluid into the subcutaneous tis
A result of between 3–5 seconds is equivocal, whereas the radial artery will not be considered for grafting if the result is longer than 5 seconds. [ 3 ] The utility of the modified Allen's test is questionable, [ 4 ] and no direct correlation with reduced ischemic complications of radial artery cannulation have ever been proven.
Shock is the state of insufficient blood flow to the tissues of the body as a result of problems with the circulatory system.Initial symptoms of shock may include weakness, tachycardia, hyperventilation, sweating, anxiety, and increased thirst. [1]
Prostatic artery embolization (PAE, or prostate artery embolisation) is a non-surgical technique for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). [1]The procedure involves blocking the blood flow of small branches of the prostatic arteries using microparticles injected via a small catheter, [2] to decrease the size of the prostate gland to reduce lower urinary tract symptoms.
