Abstract:

<p> Heart disease has been responsible for a significant number of morbidities and mortalities over the last century. As lifestyles and cultures change, so does the approach of management of the disease. With the advent of new technology over the last 6-7 decades the approach towards diagnosing heart diseases has changed a lot. Tools like electrocardiogram, two-dimensional echocardiography, cardiac stress test, Holter monitoring, etc. have become essential in the primary and secondary prevention of heart disease, and also in its management. This clinic is an effort to make these tests easily a

Abstract:

BACKGROUND Increasingly, it is recognised that the unique needs of people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CaLDB) should be addressed within a framework of cultural competence. To date, there are limited data on the issues facing CaLDB patients in the Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) setting. Appreciation of an individual???s values, attitudes and beliefs underpins negotiation of behaviour change in the CR setting. Therefore an understanding of patient and professional interactions is of key importance. OBJECTIVES The focus of this study has been to undertake an exploration o

Abstract:

Post-operative delirium is a debilitating and costly adverse event that has detrimental effects on patients’ recovery and complicates nursing care. Its numerous risk factors make the disorder seem unavoidable and unpreventable. Although pre-operative and intra-operative risk factors for delirium may not be controllable, the post-operative risk factors directly related to nursing practice are directly controllable. Practices to control pain through analgesia and sedation administration given at nurses’ prerogative may be associated with the onset of delirium in the immediate post-operative per

Abstract:

The cerebral damage after cardiac arrest is thought to arise both from the ischemia during the cardiac arrest but also during reperfusion. It is the degree of cerebral damage which determines the outcome in patients. This thesis focuses on the cerebral damage after cardiac arrest. In two animal studies, positron emission tomography (PET) was used to measure cerebral blood flow, oxygen metabolism and oxygen extraction in the brain. After restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) from five or ten minutes of cardiac arrest there was an immediate hyperperfusion, followed by a hypoperfusion whi

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an established evidence-based intervention which reduces the risk of mortality, morbidity and can improve health related quality of life (HRQOL). In the UK CR service delivery and outcome are routinely evaluated through the National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation (NACR); a patient registry of those eligible for CR. Auditing of services facilitates the identification of practice inconsistency and inequalities or inequities that may otherwise go unnoticed.

The dependence of cardiac output measurement precision on ambient temperature and cardiac output stability was assessed by concurrent continuous and bolus thermodilution methods in postoperative cardiac surgery patients.

The agreement was also closer in trials where cardiac output was stable (< 10% variation). The continuous thermodilution method shows sufficient agreement with the bolus method for use in critical care; however, improved precision of cardiac output t

Cardiovascular disease is a large problem in the intensive care unit (ICU) due to its high prevalence in modern society. In the ICU, intensive monitoring is required to help diagnose cardiac and circulatory dysfunction. However, complex interactions between the patient, disease, and treatment can hide the underlying disorder. As a result, clinical staff must often rely on their skill, intuition, and experience to choose therapy, increasing variability in care and patient outcome.

Parents frequently report a sense of powerlessness which can be overwhelming.

Abstract:

In Australia, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) affects an estimated 26,000 people each year; with a mortality rate of approximately 88%. A structured approach to OHCA management as defined by the 'Chain of Survival' is critical to high-quality patient outcomes. The aim of this thesis was to strengthen the post-resuscitation care link in the Chain of Survival by examining the effect of in-hospital factors on survival and neurological outcome after OHCA.
