common medical procedures - weebly
TRANSCRIPT
Hand washing is the single most important procedure for preventing the spread of infections.
Alcohol handrub should also be regularly used when entering or leaving a ward and before and after examining patients.
2
This is an important and routine procedure which is often carried out by nursing staff, although doctors may be asked to administer medication at times.
Good injection technique can make the experience for the patient relatively painless.
Three commonly used routes of administration are: ◦ subcutaneous (S/C), ◦ intramuscular (IM) and ◦ intradermal (ID).
3
Peripheral IV cannulation is a generic skill that the medical student should learn early.
A thin tube line is inserted into a vein allowing easy venous access which is used in many situations, including the administration of fluids and iv medication.
4
Plastic tube is inserted through the nose, down the back of the throat, oesophagus and into the stomach.
5
A needle is inserted through the abdominal wall allowing the withdrawal of a small amount of fluid for diagnostic purposes.
6
A urinary catheter has a balloon near the tip which is inflated via a sidearm near the other end.
Once inside the bladder, the inflated balloon prevents it fallingor being pulled out.
7
Basic suturing, or stitching, has many practical applications outside the field of surgery.
Whether you are called upon to suture a central line in place or are stitching up a laceration,
It's a skill you should practise before you need to use it.
8
In the context of a swollen joint, a joint aspiration is performed for both:
Diagnostic (to identify infectious and crystal arthropathies) and
Therapeutic (to relieve tense effusions and haemarthroses) purposes.
9
Insertion of a spinal needle through the L3-L4 interspace into the lumbar subarachnoid
space to obtain cerebrospinal fluid,
measure CSF fluid or pressure, or instill air, dye, or medications.
