INTRA-OPERATIVE MONITORING OF THE PATIENT DURING SURGERY

** Monitoring of the Emergency Patient: A Multidisciplinary Approach ** Urgency in the operating room demands a rapid and coordinated response from the entire medical team.** From the moment a patient is classified as an emergency and scheduled for surgery, a rigorous monitoring process begins that involves surgeons, nurses, and other health professionals. ** Preparing the Surgeon for a Surgical Emergency ** Surgeons, as leaders of the surgical team, play a crucial role in the care of emergency patients. Their preparation involves: * Deep knowledge of the pathology: The surgeon must have a thorough knowledge of the medical condition that requires immediate surgery, as well as the possible complications and treatments. * Availability: Surgeons on call must always be ready to respond to emergency calls and arrive at the operating room in the shortest possible time. * Coordination with other teams: They must coordinate closely with anesthesiologists, circulating nurses, a...

DISEASES AND MEDICAL TREATMENT

A medical treatment is any process by which a person recovers physical or mental health, through what is considered a direct intervention of proven scientific methods through experiments that have taken a long time, contributions and effort from scientists from all over the world.

Typology is distinguished from both scientific medicine, which treats disease with specific remedies developed through observation and research, as well as from prescientific medicine, which fights disease with traditional knowledge, such as the use of certain plants and herbs, and is often practiced by people who have a certain medical authority. Although they used scientific remedies, these cures are considered to be carried out and specified through oral methods, vaccination, topical, invasive, surgical and others.

According to scientific medicine, conceived in a rigid way, all disease—even mental illnesses—is the result of a physiological disorder; According to this scheme, speculation is not credible. At the opposite extreme, the practitioners of the healer believe that the origin of all disease lies in a disorder of the mind or of the spirit, for which only they know the remedy. Two very different manifestations of this second attitude are observed in Christian Science and in the charismatic Christian sects of curandería.

The first maintains that the origin of all evil, also physical illness, lies in the ignorance that the mind has of authentic reality, supernatural powers supposedly responsible for the disease and its cure. Pure natural sciences are usually divided into physical and chemical sciences, and life and earth sciences. The main branches of the first group are physics, astronomy and chemistry, which in turn can be subdivided into fields such as mechanics or cosmology. Among the life sciences are botany and zoology; Some subdivisions of these sciences are physiology, anatomy or microbiology. Geology is a branch of the Earth Sciences.

However, all classifications of the pure sciences are arbitrary. In the formulations of general scientific laws, links between the different sciences are recognized. These relationships are considered to be responsible for much of the current progress in the application of various types of non-specific treatments to only a specialized research field, such as molecular biology and genetics. Several interdisciplinary sciences have emerged, such as biochemistry, biophysics, biomathematics or bioengineering, in which vital processes are explained from physical-chemical principles.

ORIGIN AND THEORY OF MEDICINE AND NURSING

The knowledge of prehistoric medical practice comes from paleopathology, or study of the pictographs that showed the medical techniques, of the skulls and skeletons, as well as the surgical instruments of ancient societies and non-technological contemporary. Despite the fact that this study concerns anthropology, some of these practices have survived until modern times, which justifies their consideration in the history of medicine. Serious illnesses were of special interest to primitive men even though they could not treat them. They divided the genesis of the disease into two categories, each with a variety of therapies that were mutually exclusive. The first and most numerous were the processes attributed to the influence of malevolent demons, to whom the projection of an alien spirit, a stone or a worm within the body of the trusting patient was attributed. These diseases had to be tackled through spells, dances, sacrifices, spells, talismans and other measures. If in the e...

Elements of a Basic and Specialized General Medicine Practice

The equipment in a medical practice is essential for providing quality and safe medical care. Instruments and furniture must be appropriate to the physician's needs and the type of care offered. This article describes the basic and specialized instruments and furniture for a general medicine practice. **Basic Instruments:** * Sphygmomanometer: For measuring blood pressure. * Stethoscope: For listening to the heart and lungs. * Thermometer: For measuring body temperature. * Otoscope: For examining the ears. * Ophthalmoscope: For examining the eyes. * Scale: For weighing the patient. * Centrifuge: For separating the components of a blood or urine sample. * Examination Lamp: To illuminate the patient during the physical examination. * Examination Table: For examining the patient. * Examination Table:** For the patient to lie on during the physical exam or medical procedures. * Chairs:** For the doctor, the patient, and accompanying persons. * Filing Cab...

BRANCHES OF MEDICINE

Medicine, throughout its long history, has experienced a constant evolution, dividing into various specialized branches to offer comprehensive and quality medical care to patients. This specialization process has been driven by scientific and technological advances that have allowed a greater knowledge of the human body and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools. BASIC BRANCHES OF MEDICINE: The basic branches of medicine lay the foundations for the study and practice of medical specialties. Among them we find: * Anatomy:** Study the structure of the human body and its relationships. * Physiology:** Investigates the functioning of the organs and systems of the human body. * Biochemistry:** Analyze the chemical processes that occur in living beings. * PATHOLOGY:** Study the causes, mechanisms and effects of diseases. * Pharmacology:** It is responsible for the study of medicines, their action in the body and their therapeutic applications.
