Can anyone tell me when should we give hot fomentation and when should we give cold fomentation?
Immediately after an injury - Cold fomentation.
Later on - Hot fomentation.
Cold is for acute injuries like sprains, joint injuries, sports injuries.
Hot is more for chronic conditions like back aches, muscle spasms.
The point is after an acute injury, you need to reduce the swelling and inflammation. So you cool the area to decrease blood flow.
After a day of injury, you would want to increase blood flow to heal the area.
Amazing!
Can someone please give me regions of referred pain areas?
Eg. Pain in the shoulder could infer problem with diaphragm.
Right shoulder pain - problem with gall bladder (eg. Cholecystitis)
Left shoulder and ulnar border of left arm and hand - myocardial infarction.
Knee pain can refer to hip.
Renal colic pain is referred to the back.
Splenic rupture can refer pain to left shoulder - Kehr's sign
What is Kehr's sign please?
Splenic rupture or hemorrhage irritates the diaphragm on left side and that refer s the pain to the left shoulder. Same like cholecystitis on right side.
Why ECCE is not done when zonules are not intact?
What is ECCE?
Extra capsular cataract extraction.
Because the IOL will be implanted in the remaining posterior capsule - And if the zonule is not intact, it may cause lens subluxation.
Awesome.
One interesting question:
In cystogastrotomy, as surgical treatment for pseudo pancreatic cyst...Why do food particles don't enter from stomach to pseudocyst through the communication?
This question asked by surgical professor in OT today.
Because cyst will be always in positive pressure and clinical studies show that the cyst rapidly decompresses. Approximating the mucosa with cyst wall, which has no epithelial lining, leads to rapid shrinkage of stoma. Within few days, neither the stoma nor the cyst is evident on radiology or endoscopy.
Wow. This is great stuff!
