MSK Injury

Arm abduction can lead to reduced blood flow to the shoulder and increased risk of injury.

Ulnar nerve entrapment

The most common place for compression of the nerve is behind the inside part of the elbow. Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow is called cubital tunnel syndrome.Numbness and tingling in the pinky and ring fingers are common symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome.

Trigger finger

stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the tendons in the fingers and thumb, making it difficult to move them. It's characterized by a catching or locking sensation when bending or straightening the fingers, often with force.

De Quervain tenosynovitis

is a painful condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. If you have de Quervain tenosynovitis, you will probably feel pain when you turn your wrist, grasp anything or make a fist

Ganglion cyst

lumps that most often appear along the tendons or joints of wrists or hands

Thoracic outlet syndrome

group of conditions in which there's pressure on blood vessels or nerves in the area between the neck and shoulder. Compression of the blood vessels and nerves can cause shoulder and neck pain. It also can cause numbness in the fingers.

Plantar fasciitis

the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of each foot and connects the heel bone to the toes, known as the plantar fascia

Anaphylactic shock

is a rare but severe allergic reaction that can be deadly if you don't treat it right away. It's most often caused by an allergy to food, insect bites, or certain medications.

Arterial stenosis

condition that occurs when an artery narrows, restricting blood flow. There are multiple types of arterial stenosis, including carotid artery stenosis and aortic stenosis

Cardiac arrest

the heart suddenly stops beating, preventing blood from circulating properly throughout the body. This can lead to a lack of blood flow to the brain and other organs, which can cause a person to lose consciousness, become disabled, or die if not treated immediately

Diabetes

insulin which helps the blood carry glucose to all body cells. Sometimes the body does not produce sufficient insulin, or the insulin created does not work the way it should, preventing glucose from reaching the other cells in the body.

Type 1 diabetes

autoimmune disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks

the pancreas' insulin-producing cells

Type 2 diabetes

caused by a combination of factors, including lifestyle and genetics

Diaphoresis

Excessive sweating

Dysphagia

a medical term for difficulty swallowing

Hypovolemic shock

type of shock resulting from the loss of blood or other bodily fluids

Pallor

paleness, is when the skin or mucous membranes appear lighter than normal

Erythema

a condition that causes the skin or mucous membranes to appear red

Skin injuries, Infections, Inflammation, Hot environments, Fever

pulmonary embolism

This occurs when a blood clot breaks free from the deep vein and travels through the bloodstream blocking blood flow to the lungs

vasovagal reaction

vasovagal reflex or vagal response, is a reaction to stimulation of the vagus nerve. For example nausea and sweating

Code blue

alerts the emergency response team, Emergency crash cart

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

chest compressions and rescue breaths.Chest compressions aim to replicate the heart’s function, pumping blood to vital organs. Rescue breaths ensure that oxygen reaches the lungs, preventing potential brain damage and other complications from oxygen deprivation

postural hypotension, form of low blood pressure that happens when standing after sitting or lying down. can cause dizziness or lightheadedness and possibly fainting

Hypotensive Syndrome

The weight of a pregnant uterus can compress the aorta and inferior vena cava. The amount of

blood to the heart can be compromised

Amniocentesis

procedure where amniotic fluid is extracted for genetic testing

Ascites

collection of fluid within the abdominal cavity

Pleural effusion

buildup of fluid between the lung and the chest wall, also known as the pleural space

CBC

complete blood count test measures Red blood cells, which carry oxygen

Colostomy

after the surgeon removes a portion of the colon, it may be necessary to attach the remaining colon to the outside of the body. Creating a hole (stoma) in the abdominal wall allows waste to leave the body. bag attaches to the stoma to collect the waste.

Invasive procedures

Medical procedures that involve penetration of body tissues

Paracentesis

invasive procedure that uses a needle to drain abdominal fluid for either diagnostic or therapeutic reasons

Thoracentesis

invasive procedure that uses a needle to drain pleural fluid for either diagnostic or therapeutic reasons

D-dimmer test

test looks for D-dimer in blood. D-dimer is a protein Fragment (small piece) that's made when a blood clot dissolves in your body. D-dimer isn't usually found in your blood unless

your body is making or breaking up blood clots

Sterile

sterile field that is free of microorganisms

Image quality

The higher the frequency, the higher the image resolution. However, lowerfrequencies penetrate deeper. The higher the number the cycles the better the resolution
