Drain Case Studies Samples For Students

Use of pleural catheters in the management of MPE

Introduction
My case study is based on a 74 year old man who came into the hospital for elective admission for the insertion of a pleurex chest drain after several recurrent episodes of malignant pleural effusions. The patient was admitted in a respiratory ward by a nurse with increased shortness of breath and was found to have right pleural effusion after a chest X-ray. A pleurex chest drain was inserted and 2000mls of pleural fluid was drained. Although a number of treatment modalities are available, pleurex chest drainage was the modality being used to manage this specific patient, as such it is necessary to ...

Part B – Case Study Portfolio: Students will need to work through the 2 case scenarios given.

Rhinoplasty can be performed in two ways using the external perforated method and the internal continuous method. As the patient wants a quick recovery and the least amount of swelling the latter was used. Within the case it also mentions in this case that sutures are internal so the latter was most likely. Lymphedema (swelling) around the eyes at least in the first few days up to a month is a common side effect and may persist up to a month. However, the internal perforated method may lead to increased internal mucosal tearing as opposed to the external perforated ...

Rail construction is a sequence of steps that takes laborious amounts of time in each step and finally results in a wonderful and safe system for transport for many decades to come that requires minimal maintenance over that period. The first step in the construction process is the approval for new line itself. This is typically the responsibility of the government to do it. Once a approval is given for rail connectivity between two points then the role of engineering kicks in.
The first step in the process is the alignment. Alignment is nothing but the path in which the track ...

Most of the culture-related problems facing 3rd world countries rely on traditional methods of production such include the participation rate of men and women. Women are not very active in the labor force. There are beliefs that women should not participate in particular jobs thus lowering the number of viable employees (Jiang 190). Education and skills necessary is also a major challenge as far as culture is concerned. Education is a basic necessity to any human. In most of these third-world countries, illiteracy levels are very high, and this mostly has been contributed by bad culture. People from these ...

Natural and manmade disasters all have their own scary associations; for example, people who live in the south Asian nation of Bangladesh face the prospect of cyclonic storms each year that could potentially kill tens of thousands, if they don’t end up just destroying much of the year’s crops. Earthquakes such as the one that led to the 1906 fire in San Francisco are an example of a multi-phase disaster, in which one terrible event leads to another, no matter what interventions people attempt. Nuclear disasters are another example of this sort of multi-phase mayhem, as the environmental ...
