Pain management

parents with newborns in the NICU have expressed that they would like to learn more about what types of pain their infants are feeling and how they can help relieve that pain. Parents want to know more about things such as; what caused their child’s pain, if the pain that we feel is different than what they feel, how to possibly prevent and notice the pain, and how they could help their child through the pain they were struggling with. Another main worry that was mentioned was the long-term effects of their pain ,

Anatomy and Physiology of aterial line

Anatomy and Physiology The arterial pulse may be palpated in the extremities and the neck. With the knowledge of the contour of these vessels, the operator may easily identify the location of the artery. The anatomy of every site of insertion must be analyzed to determine the landmarks, the depth, the relationship to adjacent anatomical structures, and the size of the artery. The radial artery is superficial in the thenar area of the wrist where the radial bone joins the metacarpal bones. There, the radial pulse is best felt slightly medial to the extensor tendons of the thumb. The radial artery is a preferred site of insertion. The ulnar artery is opposite to the radial pulse in the volar aspect of the wrist at the joint of the ulnar bone to the metacarpal bones. The artery divides into 2 branches, both of which join a similar division of the radial artery to form a rich, collateral network known as the deep and superficial palma...

It usually broke along aside tibia as an evidence of major accident There is two option to fix it . Firstly we are choosing about fibula nail as a simple procedure . Surgeon needs only a pliers and nail after creating a port according to its position to fix it under the guidance of c arm . If Surgeon go for here need to open the fracture to fix plate on the area . And needs for clam k wire and other nessary things to fix the fracture. Why the options? Surgeon choose the options according to the fracture , if the fracture line goes vertically ways or the both part of fibula resting perfectly and doesn't dislocated from its own position , surgeon goes for nail fixation. If the fracture is not showing properly in x ray and both end of the bone misplaced after the injury or fracture line...
