PACU bypass after outpatient knee surgery is associated with fewer unplanned hospital admissions but more phase II nursing interventions.
BACKGROUND The authors recently proposed a recovery scoring system for outpatients receiving regional anesthesia (RA) or general anesthesia (GA). This scoring system was designed to allow qualifying patients to be directly routed to the phase II (step-down) recovery unit instead of the traditional postanesthesia care unit (PACU). We report PACU bypass rates using these criteria, and the extent ...

A 64-year-old man with diabetes and hypertension presented with a 2-day history of sudden onset of acute pain and cyanosis on the sole of his right foot 4 days after undergoing cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography.

متن کاملSerum CPK isoenzymes after cardiac catheterization.
Exclusion of acute myocardial infarction preoperatively, particularly in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, is an important requirement for optimal results following coronary revascularization. Unfortunately, activity of conventionally measured serum enzymes (AST, LDH, total CPK) is frequently raised because of enzyme released from non-cardiac sources during the catheterization proced...
متن کاملAcute retinal arteriolar emboli after cardiac catheterization.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are concerns that cardiac catheterization may cause retinal embolization, a risk marker for cerebrovascular emboli and stroke. We describe the incidence of acute retinal embolism after cardiac catheterization. METHODS One hundred unselected patients attending a tertiary referral center for diagnostic cardiac catheterization were recruited. Digital retinal photogra...
متن کاملFemoral artery closure after cardiac catheterization.
After diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization, femoral artery closure devices offer quicker time to hemostasis, ambulation, and discharge than does manual compression. Nurses should understand how femoral artery closure devices work, the potential vascular complications that may occur with their use, and the recommended time to ambulation and discharge.
