nursing care process in a user diagnosed with acinetobacter baumannii

This research work is conceived as the analysis of the nursing care process in a user with a diagnosis of Acinetobacter baumannii, for this the methodology used is descriptive, with a non-experimental qualitative approach, since a study is carried out on the records of the nursing care applied to a polytraumatized patient with a history of a car accident, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit from the operating room, and later diagnosed with infection by Acinetobacter Baumannii, for which a care plan based on NANDA taxonomies was developed , NOC and NIC emphasizing the hemodynamic and respiratory improvement, which allowed the patient to achieve a positive evolution, managing to discharge her to general hospitalization without ventilatory support.

Very good neuromotor and psycho-cognitive rehabilitation outcomes in a post-TBI patient with initially severe fidget and breath insufficency with secondary eso-tracheal fistula, after necessity tracheostoma in subsequent important pulmonary complications - case report

The subject matter of the present scientific paper is the report of a sustained and persistent therapeutic rehabilitation team-run program in the case of a polytraumatized patient with severe TBI (severe psychomotor agitation and dislogia, bifrontal syndrome, post-traumatic encephalopathy) associated with locomotor and self-care dysfunction, neurogenic bladder and complicated with eso-tracheal fistula after necessity tracheostoma due to subsequent important pulmonary complications that led to a favorable progression despite the limitations imposed by the mental state of the patient during hospitalization and the presence of multiple severe pulmonary complications. Keywords: neuromuscular rehabilitation, traumatic brain injury, bifrontal syndrome, polytraumatism, eso-tracheal fistula,

Ruptures of mesentery- a silent posttraumatic injury (Case Report)

The mechanism of mesenteric injury in blunt abdominal trauma involves compression and deceleration forces which result in a spectrum of injuries that range from contusions to tearing of the bowel wall, tearing of the mesentery, and loss of vascular supply. Hemoperitoneum is a major sign of severity in abdominal trauma, which, in most cases, requires emergency surgery.Our patient showed that the diagnosis of mesenteric injury should be considered even in patients who sustain only minor abdominal trauma. In this case the patient’s symptoms were suggestive only for the orthopedic lesion and not for the hemoperitoneum.Trans-scapho-lunate dislocation fracture is a rare lesion that may go unnoticed at initial assessment in a polytraumatized patient. A delay in the diagnosis and treatment of a scaphoid fracture may alter the prognosis after consolidation.
