Very young babies are at the greatest risk of serious complications. Nine have died in the UK this year.
In this instance, a Cesarean section birth is made necessary. A Cesarean section, or C-section, birth is a surgical procedure where a baby is delivered by making an incision horizontally across the woman’s stomach and through her uterus. The reason why this type of delivery is restricted to emergencies is because it can have devastating lasting effects on the mother including infertility, death of the mother, and other severe risks. According to “Maternal Mortality and Severe Morbidity Associated with Low-Risk Planned Cesarean Delivery versus Planned Vaginal Delivery at Term,” there are many risks associated with C-section deliveries including hemorrhaging, uterine rupture, and a resulting hysterectomy (Liu et al. 2).
A young mother is in intensive care after having a rare but serious reaction to a friend's prescription antibiotics that caused her to "burn" from the inside out. Yassmeen Castanada, 19, wasn't feeling well on Thanksgiving, so she took a pill that her friend had left over from a previous illness. Soon, Castanada's eyes, nose and throat began to burn, and she was rushed to the emergency room, her mother, Laura Corona, told ABC News. Her body erupted in blisters over the next few days, Corona said. She had to be sedated and placed on a ventilator.
Although there are set guidelines for placement and retention of these indwelling catheters that are supposed to be followed, the incidence of these catheter acquired urinary tract infection is still relatively high. This could be because many times catheters are left in for unnecessary reasons whether it’s just an oversight by the physician or nurse or it’s for convenience, either way it puts patients at risk for infection. (Yin- Yin, C., Mei-Man, C., Yu-Jiun, C., Shin-Shang, C., & Fu-Der, W., 2013). Background of study There is a direct correlation between the duration of indwelling catheter and the incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infections and duration of indwelling urinary catheterization is a considerable risk factor for urinary tract infections. The purpose of the research article being reviewed is to determine if the use of a reminder approach in the system would help reduce the use of indwelling catheter and decrease the incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infections.
Trachonatis can also cause a sexually transmitted disease of the adult genital tract and can produce conjunctivitis and Pneumonia in newborns. The last species is Trochomatis which causes lymphogranuloma venereum (an STD of the lymph glands in the genital area). 2 In women Chlamydia moves up the genital tract into the fallopian tubes. This causes inflammation and scarring of the fallopian tubes. If a woman is unaware of this it can 5ther to be infertile or she can have a life-threatening tubal pregnancy.
Careful monitoring following overexertion during exercise, or after a crush injury/orthopedic injury is the most important thing that a caregiver or patient can do. One of the complications of compartment syndrome is kidney failure due to the cellular injury that can occur. This injury can release toxic amounts of myoglobin, this will cause the kidneys to be unable to excrete potassium. This excess of potassium can lead to cardiac failure (Altizer, 2004). This is why diagnosis and treatment is so important.
Pregnant women are more likely to have complications because sickle cell anemia affects so many body systems. Some of the more life threatening complications are stroke, pulmonary hypertension, acute chest syndrome, and organ damage. A stroke can happen due to the sickle cells blocking the flow of blood to the brain which can lead to a seizure, slurred speech, loss of consciousness, and numb or weak legs and arms (Ernzen 1997). Acute chest syndrome can also be caused by the blocking of blood vessels in the lungs and make it very difficult for the pregnant women to breath which can prevent the baby from being properly
Rationale: When caring for a patient with severe dyspnea, the nurse should use the ABCs to guide initial care. This patient's severe dyspnea and cough indicate that acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is occurring. ADHF usually manifests as pulmonary edema, which should be detected and treated immediately to prevent ongoing hypoxemia and cardiac/respiratory arrest. The other assessments will provide useful data about the patient's volume status and should also be accomplished rapidly, but detection (and treatment) of fluid-filled alveoli is the priority.

Some of the more common complications associated with the disease are bowel obstruction, ulcers, and fistulas. Bowel obstruction is the most common and results from the thickening of the intestinal wall with swelling and scar tissue, narrowing the passage. The narrowing of the intestines blocks flow of digested material through the affected area. In severe conditions surgery is needed to remove the dead and damaged tissue of the bowel. Chronic inflammation that accompanies this disease can lead to the formation of ulcers.
It has been found that there are many emotional aspects of an abortion that can psychologically affect the wellbeing of the women. These emotions can include guilty feelings, anxiety, depression, loss, anger, and even suicide. There are many things that could ultimately go wrong with an abortion. Short term you can have clotting, cramping, hemorrhage (sudden, severe bleeding), incomplete abortion, perforated uterus, infection, bladder of bowel injury, cervical laceration, death. Long term effects chronic infection, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, higher risk of future miscarriage or premature birth, increased risk of future birth defects, future labor complications, hysterectomy, sterility (unable to conceive), cervical cancer, breast cancer, hepatitis, mental and psychological
