Hydrocephalus

Hydrocephalus
My decision to undertake a project on Hydrocephalus stemmed from a personal experience. A close friend of mine, with whom I am currently stationed, recently welcomed a child who I affectionately refer to as my nephew. Thankfully, the child's diagnosis for Hydrocephalus was negative, although he has been diagnosed with enlarged ventricles in his brain, which is believed to be due to stenosis or a "narrowing" at the third ventricle.
Definition
Hydrocephalus is caused by fluid accumulating in the deep ventricles of the brain. This excess fluid puts pressure on the brain by enlarging the ventricles. The brain and spinal column are usually surrounded by cerebral spinal fluid that passes through the ventricles. However, having too much cerebrospinal fluid can cause a range of symptoms related to brain function and can even damage brain tissues.
Although it can occur at any age, hydrocephalus is more common in infants and adults over the age of 60. Surgery can be used to restore and maintain healthy cerebrospinal fluid levels in the brain. Staff, M. C. (2023, September 15).

Mrs. Aguilar is a 78-year-old Caucasian woman who lives alone in a small, one-story home she and her husband purchased several
years ago before he died. She lives on Social Security income and her deceased husband's corporate pension and is financially
secure. Though she is in relatively good health, she has been having increasing difficulty walking for the past several years, which
has been attributed to peripheral vascular disease. She complains of weakness and pain in her legs and a loss of feeling in her fingers
and feet. She also suffers from occasional constipation. She is happiest just doing her activities of daily living, such as preparing
breakfast, lunch, and a late afternoon snack, then relaxing in her living room until it is time for bed. She has a good relationship with
her adult children, who have been discussing with her the possibility of hiring a visiting nurse as her mobility declines. Her children
take turns visiting on Sundays. When they come, they help with her…

Discuss, using the text, how you believe this case should be decided. Remember to
reference specific ethical principles from the text: "A 13 year old girl, suffering from
toxic shock syndrome, is sent directly from school to a local emergency room.
Treatment is ordered, including fever-reducing medication and a strong course of
intravenous antibiotics. The parents arrive just as the medication and equipment
arrive in the emergency room. They announce they are Christian Scientists and wish
to take their daughter home." The clinical approach to this case requires the
application of the procedure by which medical indications, patient preferences,
projected quality of life and contextual features be applied. How would you decide it
given our readings so far?

A lethargic 22-month old black female was presented by her mother to the emergency
room at 2:15am on a Sunday. The child had a history of a runny nose, hoarse cough and
low-grade fever (-99F) for the past 48 hours. The mother was concerned about the forced
and noisy breathing of the child. The pediatrician examined the child and found cloudy
eyes and mild inflammation of the ears, but no overt signs of bacterial infection (no
significant changes in the eardrums). The throat of the child was red and coated with
mucus. The larynx was swollen and raw.
The physician performed a rapid Strep test and found it was negative. Throat swabs were
taken for culture. The physician placed the child in a room with a warm vaporizer for about
30 minutes. This dramatically improved the breathing of the child.
1. What is the infectious agent that caused this case?
2. Do you believe that this is a bacterial or viral disease? Why?
3. What further treatment is indicated for this case?

Mr. H is a 52-year-old male who presents to the emergency department. His left leg is in a cast, and he states that 1 week ago he was in an automobile crash and broke his upper leg. Since that time, he has had difficulty “getting around” and has mostly been lying on the couch watching television. On the evening of admission he noticed a sudden onset of dyspnea and chest pain. He denies having orthopnea, cough, hemoptysis, or wheezing. He smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for 19 years but quit 3 years ago.
The ABG analysis of Mr. H suggests uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with mild hypoxemia, with base excess of -1 in her arterial side, whereas -4 in her venous side.
Part 1: Her actual arterial-venous oxygen content difference (Ca-vO2) is 5.31 mL/dL. (Normal range considered here is 3.5 to 5 mL/dL)
Part 2: Patient's actual oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) was 29%. (Say normal range is 20-28%)
What is clinically happening to the patient?
