Surgery referral was taken in v/o pain abdomen and abdominal distention.

DRE: anal spincter tone: normal, rectum loaded, gloved finger stained with fecal matter, 

Advised x-ray abdomen supine which came out to be normal.

So no active surgical intervention.


At 4:00 AM on 17/6/21 patient suddenly became unresponsive with no recordable PR/BP/SpO2. 

CPR was initiated acc. To 2015 AHA guidelines and patient was intubated with ET 7.0 

4:00AM BP/PR - NR- CPR Initiated, INJ ADRENALINE 1MG IV/ STAT

Despite of the above resuscitatiove measures patient couldn't be revived and declared dead at 4:37 AM on 17/6/21.


DEATH SUMMARY:

69/m came to casuality on 16/6/21 at 3:00  with c/o fever and 2 episodes of vomiting yesterday night f/b pain abdomen , sob (2-3) and altered sensorium since 16/6/21 morning.

Inotropes were started in v/o hypotention.

ECG showed non specific ST-T changes st elevations noted in Lead 2,3,AvF with reciprocal changes in Lead I,AvL,V5,V6.

2D ECHO : global hypokinesia , dilated LA/LV ,EF : 27% , TR with mild PAH + , RVSP-40

Troponin- I : negative 

Symptomatic treatment was given.

Surgery referral was taken in v/o pain abdomen and abdominal distention

TOPIC: PREDICTORS OF OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION AND HEART FAILURE ADMITTED TO A RURAL TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL PROBLEM STATEMENT: HEART FAILURE is one of the leading cause of death at present all over the world. Inspite of the recent advances and extensive research being done in medical field we are unable to find the exact etiology and predictors of mortality and morbidity in many of the patients with HEART FAILURE and the current mode of treatment is only symptomatic. In a rural setup with limited resources: How far we can eliminate the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties that persist in a patient with heart failure and what best we can do to improve their outcomes. INTRODUCTION: Inspite of having advancement in field which helps in diagnosing pulmonary hypertension, it remains the disease that takes lot of time for diagnosis from the presence of first symptom, many patients are diagnosed only in advanced stage of disease. 1 Normal pressure in pulmon

BIMONTHLY INTERNAL ASSESSMENT - DECEMBER

1) A 55 year old man with Recurrent Focal Seizures Detailed patient case report here:  http://ushaindurthi. blogspot.com/2020/11/55-year- old-male-with-complaints-of. html 1. What is the problem representation of this patient and what could be the anatomical site of lesion ? A 55 year old male construction worker with T2DM who is a chronic alcoholic & smoker came with c/o weakness of right upper limb with involuntary movements of both right UL & LL secondary to ? right temporal lobe epileptogenic focus. 2. Why are subcortical internal capsular infarcts more common that cortical infarcts? subcortical infarcts are caused by occlusion of a penetrating artery from a large cerebral artery, most commonly from the Circle of Willis. These penetrating arteries arise at sharp angles from major vessels and are thus, anatomically prone to constriction and occlusion.  So subcortical infarcts are more common than cortical infarcts. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK534206/#:~:text=Lacuna
