Answer:

Keep the central line dry. The catheter and dressing must stay dry. Don't take baths, go swimming, use a hot tub, or do other activities that could get the central line wet. Take a sponge bath to avoid getting the central line wet, unless your healthcare provider tells you otherwise.

1. Explain the difference between a TIA and RIND. Is there a difference from the

tangare [24]

The main difference between a TIA (transient ischemic attack) and RIND (Reversible ischemic neurologic deficit) is the time duration taken for reversal of symptoms.

Explanation:

The symptoms of TIA can last for about 24 hours and settle within a day. RIND lasts for more than 24 hours and clears within a week or few weeks. This means that RIND is actually a mini version of TIA.

Perspective of the paramedic:

Since both the conditions exhibits acute mini stroke-like conditions with reversal of symptoms, the perspective of the paramedic will be the same for both TIA and RIND.

The paramedics in the field should conduct GCS and FAST tests, detect stroke and its damage caused, should obtain other basic information at the field, and administer basic neuroprotective treatment modalities to save the patient from further damage.

In the hospital, for both TIA and RIND, the primary stroke management is to restore the blood supply to the brain through anticlotting agents like tPA injections or endovascular procedures . The treatment can vary later according to the severity of the stroke.

accounting for age, illness, and risk factors, a transfusion is recommended when the hemoglobin is at which level?

victus00 [196]

Consider transfusion if hemoglobin is 8 g/dL or below or if there are symptoms (chest pain, orthostatic hypotension or tachycardia unresponsive to fluid resuscitation, or congestive heart failure).

For inpatients with active acute coronary syndromes and a Hb level less than 8 g/dL, transfusion should be taken into consideration. Adult critical care medical and surgical inpatients with an Hb level less than 10 g/dL may receive a transfusion while receiving sepsis treatment within the first six hours of resuscitation. Acute sickle cell crisis, acute blood loss of more than 30% of blood volume, and symptomatic anemia (which results in shortness of breath, fainting, congestive heart failure, and decreased exercise tolerance) are all indications for transfusion.
