Hypovolaemic Shock

A broad range of acute and chronic conditions reaching from hypovolaemic shock to ventricular tachycardia can present with circulatory failure. Hence, the approach for management of circulatory failure can vary considerably. This chapter focuses on circulatory failure due to pump failure of the heart and builds on general treatment strategies discussed in Chapters 91 and 92. Three major circulatory support therapies are discussed further: pharmacological therapy, balloon pumping, and surgically inserted devices. Treatment of circulatory failure unrelated to pump failure, and general measures such as fluid resuscitation, are beyond the scope of this chapter.

Top 10 General Priorities: (1) Do one thing at a time. (2) Stop or taper impairing medications before adding new ones. (3) Minimize side effects of medications. (4) Offer rehabilitative therapy and lifestyle modification interventions as well as medications. (5) Educate and comfort. (6) Give an honest prognosis with a positive spin. (7) Use a healthy dose of Vitamin P (“placebo”) in an appropriate way. (8) Under the right circumstances, it’s OK to use a big dose of Vitamin S (the “therapeutic scare”) also.

Abstract The steady increase in linguistic and cultural diversity in the country, including the number of bilingual speakers, has been predicted to continue. Minorities are expected to be the majority by 2042. Strokes, the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the U.S., are quite prevalent in racial and ethnic minorities, so population estimates underscore the imperative need to develop valid clinical procedures to serve the predicted increase in linguistically and culturally diverse bilingual adults with aphasia in post-stroke rehabilitation. Bilingualism is a complex phenomenon that interconnects culture, cognition, and language; thus, as aphasia is a social phenomenon, treatment of bilingual aphasic persons would benefit from conceptual frameworks that exploit the culture-cognition-language interaction in ways that maximize both linguistic and communicative improvement leading to social re-adaptation. This paper discusses a multidisciplinary evidence-based approach to develop ecologically-valid treatment strategies for bilingual aphasic individuals. Content aims to spark practitioners' interest to explore conceptually broad intervention strategies beyond strictly linguistic domains that would facilitate linguistic gains, communicative interactions, and social functioning. This paper largely emphasizes Spanish-English individuals in the United States. Practitioners, however, are advised to adapt the proposed principles to the unique backgrounds of other bilingual aphasic clients.

Purpose Many aging individuals, even those who are healthy, report voice changes that can impact their ability to communicate as they once did. While this is commonly reported, most do not seek evaluation or management for this issue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and differences in voice disorders in older adults, along with the effect of fatigue on their social interactions. Method This is a cross-sectional investigation of a community-dwelling sample of individuals aged 60 years or older. Participants completed the Questionnaire on Vocal Performance, the Social Engagement Index subset “Engagement in Social or Leisure Activities,” and the Fatigue Severity Scale. Results Results indicated 32.5% of the 332 participants reported symptoms of voice problems with no difference found between male and female respondents. A slight increase in report of voice problems was noted with each year of age. Participants who self-reported voice problems indicated less interaction in social activities involving communication than those who did not. Finally, as severity of self-reported voice problems increased, an increase was reported by the same individuals for signs of fatigue. Conclusions Voice problems and resulting decreased social interaction are commonly experienced by older individuals. Voice symptoms in older adults have been found to benefit from evidence-based treatment strategies. It is critical to provide education to encourage older individuals to seek appropriate evaluation and management for voice issues through a speech-language pathologist or medical professional.
