Vascular access site management is crucial to safe, efficient and comfortable diagnostic or interventional percutaneous coronary or peripheral interventions. In recent years, vascular closure devices have gained popularity and are being used for rapid hemostasis and early ambulation as an alternative to manual compression. However, controversy still exists over their superiority over manual com...

Not many years ago the use of traction and application of hip spica cast were standard treatments for all femoral shaft fractures in children. 2 However, the management of femoral shaft fractures in children above the age of five years has tilted more towards an operative option in the last two decades attributed to low incidence of malunion, short hospital stays, cost effectiveness and early a...

Vascular closure devices provide a safe and cost-effective method to achieve rapid hemostasis and early ambulation after angiographic procedures. Rarely, they can result in arterial injury with resultant stenosis or acute arterial closure requiring open surgical intervention. We report an Angio-Seal® vascular closure device-induced acute arterial closure successfully treated percutaneously with...

Introduction: Self-efficacy affects the ability to perform early mobilization in patients after digestive surgery. The characteristics of pain are different and major surgical pain. Pain can effect self-efficacy mobilization. purpose this study is analyze relationship between post-surgical patients.Methods: used a correlation descriptive design with cross sectional approach total sample 62 post...

[Purpose] To investigate clinical measures as valid predictors and discriminators of the level of community ambulation of hemiparetic stroke survivors. [Subjects and Methods] Seventy-five hemiparetic stroke patients were separated into a community ambulation group (>0.8 m/s) and a limited community ambulation group (0.4-0.8 m/s). The dorsiflexor strength of the affected side, Sit to Stand (STS)...

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical conditions. In absence other comorbidities, it can be performed as a day-care procedure. Spinal anesthesia preferred technique this surgery. Local anesthetics having rapid and smooth onset action, good intraoperative analgesia, short recovery period, least side effects are preferred. Aims Objectives: The objective study was t...

A modified posterolateral thoracotomy is described that combines the advantages of complete muscle sparing through a thoracolumbar fascial slide with excellent exposure. The technique is easy to perform. The procedure was associated with relatively little postoperative pain, coughing was effective, and early ambulation was achieved. Experience with this approach in the first 49 patients suggest...

Management of high-risk hip fracture patients is complicated. The optimal surgical decision must be individualized and made promptly, with the assistance of all important team members, including primary care doctors, patient, family, and the orthopedic team. The risks of delaying surgery are significant and should be avoided if possible. Strategies for improving outcomes in these patients inclu...

Cardiac catheterization via the transradial approach has become the “gold standard” in many centres because it allows quite early ambulation, decrease in bleeding and vascular access site complications. The growing experience has led to an understanding of the anatomical variants leading to technical difficulties and complications that can result from the transradial approach. The purpose of th...
