Randall Said:

how do i set up a patient case study?

We Answered:

Well If he is new patient without any back history or back up reports or papers it is one thing but with a case history or histories it is different.(that is you have to enter chronologically the papers and reports summary etc)
Normally the name of person, gender, age, height weight, nationality, the Blood Pressure , Pulse, Temperature,are recorded .
Then a brief of the symptoms as stated by the patient with any past history and the details if relevant.

Your outward examination of the patient in what condition he/she is etc.

In case any other X ray, Laboratory Reports, Scan reports etc are produced you can just summarise its contents and keep the detailed reports as attachment.
Better go to any hospital OP ward Collect the Files which the patient may have either after the visit and before exit or before examination and it would give a real insight.Ofcourse explain to the patient your purpose etc.

Anatomy Case Study-Your patient, a 20 year old male has a respiratory disease that has literally paralyzed the?

We Answered:

First question: How is this an anatomy question?
Second question: Is that opposed to being figuratively paralyzed?
Third question: What labs showed him to have a "fourth" infection? Is that a separate bacterial or viral or three or four different organisms involved? Did they do a bronchoscopy and culture the bronchial washings each time and culture a separate organism each time?
That's enough of my questions, lets get to yours.
Question #2(why not start with #1?) Immobile mucous is a great culture medium for bacteria because it is protein based, warm and moist so the patient will be at great risk for repeated infections. If the normal system of ciliary motion is not there then mucous has to be moved in other ways. Which brings us to the (?)third question.
A rigorous regimen of bronchial toilet is absolutely necessary. This includes High density H2O nebulization, Inhaled bronchodilators, inhaled and oral mucolytics, Postural Drainage and Chest Physiotherapy including vibration and percussion, and assisted coughing. These can all be done at home under the guidance of a Respiratory Therapist.Staying well hydrated is very important also. And not with electrolyte drinks. Learn to like water.
Sorry but questions three and four kind of ran together there because they have the same answer.If you're asking this question about a Cystic Fibrosis patient all these treatments and a couple more would be necessary. And the primary problem is not ciliary paralysis, the cilia are not themselves effected, it's the increased viscosity of the mucous which makes it very difficult to move the mucous upwards in the lung.
God bless.
