Snider underwent a radical hysterectomy following the twins birth, which is used as a way to treat and prevent the recurrence of cervical cancer, according to the Mayo Clinic. During the surgery, the doctor removes the uterus, the cervix, part of the vagina and lymph nodes where the cancer is located.
A cesarean hysterectomy is performed to prevent blood loss that can become life-threatening if any of the placenta remains attached after delivery. Women can suffer severe complications caused by heavy vaginal bleeding after delivery due to disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, which stops blood from clotting properly. Lung Failure and kidney failure are also known complications from the surgery.
The mother was able to survive both surgeries, but heart failure caused her death. Harvard Health Publications reported chemotherapy can cause side effects that directly target the heart. Heart failure, heart attack and arrhythmias can all be caused by radiation therapy.

many different medicines are used to treat coronary heart disease. Usually they aim to reduce blood pressure or widen your arteries. For example antiplatelet are a type of medicine that can help reducing the risk of a heart attack by thinning your blood and preventing it from clotting. However there are also side effects after taking the medication like dizziness, diarrioah, nose bleeds and abdominal pain.
From personal experience, I have witnessed several family members undergo chemotherapy. Often their side effects of the treatment were worse than the disease itself. Effects, varying form person-to-person, ranged from nausea and

Coming from a small, broken home, Mary always knew she wanted to have a large family of her own. Having an emergency hysterectomy at the age of 27, three children was all that Mary could have, not fulfilling her dream of a great, overbearing family.

A 54 year old black female presents with dyspnea and chest discomfort on exertion, postural lightheadedness, palpitations and a functional limitation of less than one flight of stairs. She denies fever or chills. Further questioning reveals she has been experiencing worsening shortness of breath for one week. Past medical history includes hypertension, Epstein Barr virus and osteoporosis. Surgical history included hysterectomy. She is a 1 ppd smoker and admits to drinking 3-5 alcoholic drinks per week for 10 years. Medications include candesartan, multivitamin, and calcium
(White 2007) If there is an increased amount of angiotensin II circulating in the capillaries there will be net dis-inhibition of sympathetic nervous system outflow causing an inappropriately high blood pressure. ACE inhibitors are used to counteract increased angiotensin II levels and prevent high blood pressure or hypertension.
It is an operation to remove the uterus. Most hysterectomies are performed to treat conditions such as fibroids, heavy bleeding, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine prolapse, and cancer. This may cause depression to some individuals (Vomvolaki et al., 2006).
The tracer patient identified in this summary was infected, possibly after the first surgery with the open hysterectomy. The infection process could have started from the operating room or any time thereafter with the care of the wound. The patient should have been treated prior to surgery with an Intravenous antibiotic and sent home with continuous oral antibiotic. The patient should have been kept in the hospital for observation at least two days and then discharged home with Home Health nursing for monitoring/ caring of wound. Teaching of wound care and maintenance should have been part of this patient’s care while in the hospital.
The high acuity of patients in the ICU makes the risks of patient harm higher. Patients have decreased physiological reserves, so any harmful events become exponentially worse as compared to more stable patients. Therefore, reporting changes of a patient’s condition is a vital part of ensuring the rendering of proper care. When nurses fail to report critical lab values and vital signs in a timely manner, the patient can suffer long-term effects or may even die.
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in a woman’s cervix, which is the entrance to the uterus through the vagina. There are glandular cells lining the inside of the cervix and they produce mucus. The cervix is covered with a layer of skin-like cells on the other surface, called ‘ectocervix. These cells of the ectocervix and glandular cells can become cancerous, by malignant tumours from cells that are able to invade the surrounding tissue and organs causing serious damage to it, by abnormal cell growth and tumour in the area. The area of the cervix that is most likely to be prone to cancer, is the opening area of the cervix or space within the cervix called the ‘endocervical canal’. This area is the narrow passage way which gives
After years of being married and no kid’s insight, I decided to make a doctor’s appointment. After my examination, the nurse told me to get dress and wait for the doctor. He finally came in to see me, He informed me that I had fibroid tumors gave me two choices, the first choice was to live with pain the rest of my life. The second choice was to get a total hysterectomy, “you don’t have to choose right now. You can make an appointment for next Wednesday and we will go from there.
As our population ages, patients are living longer as a result of advances in medical technology, surgical procedures, and drug development(Bressler MD & Bahl PhD, 2003). The average older person is taking two to five prescription medications daily and one in five of this age group has a medication related hospitalization annually (McLean & LeCouteur, 2004). In my eighteen years of nursing, I have taken care of many patients being treated with anticoagulant medications for various reasons, and I have found that most of these patients are not educated about the risks, benefits, and adverse reactions associated with anticoagulants.
Other side effects include cloudy urine, proteinuria, irregular heartbeats, and chest pain. Angioedema involving the extremities, face, lips, mucous membranes, tongue, glottis or larynx has been seen in patients treated with ACE inhibitors, including captopril (Capoten, 2014). If these effects happen nurses should be ready to administer epinephrine to reduce swelling. Other adverse effect according to Karch (2014) include, “CV: Tachycardia, angina pectoris, heart failure, MI, Raynouds syndrome, hypotension in salt-or volume depleted patients.”
Also, you may have problems delivering your babies. There is a higher probability of undergoing a cesarean section, which is when the babies are delivered through a surgical opening in your belly, also known as a
