What happens in hospital when someone arrests?
A cardiac arrest team will be called in, and the staff will start CPR immediately, they will use a BVM and Defib (if necessary) to attempt to resus the patient the cardiac arrest team will then move in and perform ALS on the patient.
Usually the patient will go into respiratory arrest and then cardiac arrest, their heart rhythm will normally go from normal synas rhythm into VF (Ventiricualr Fibrillation) where a shock will be nececerry to stop the heart, and shock it back into normal rhythem.
If the patient receives early CPR and early Defib they have a fairly good chance of surviving if they go into VF.
Hope this helps.

How are the criminally insane treated?
Much as any other behavioral mental client or person served. They receive meds as needed, medical and psychotherapy, gruop councilling, etc. Communication with the outside is often but not always more limited. And physical security -- staff protection, invasion and perimeter maintenance are all significantly rigorous. As with any hospital, the focus is in treatment; not on punishment.
Can a person still be treated if they dont sign a informed consent?

Sure. Verbal consents are allowed. Also, people come into the ED unresponsive all the time. We don't wait for them to wake up and sign a consent before we assess and treat them. For people that are awake it depends on the situation. We have people every day that refuse to be seen and are held against their wishes. If someone is not oriented, or is considered at risk for hurting themself or others, they may be held against their will. Opening your mouth and saying "I'm going to hurt myself" because you're fighting with someone may land you in handcuffs, sitting in the ED all night. And you will be billed for the visit and the ambulance ride even if you refused.
If there is no emergent condition, no body should do any procedure with out a signed consent, although the patient can give verbal consent. As far as normal people, if an emergent condition exist, the practitioner would have to balance the risk of liability from doing a procedure without a consent against the liability of doing nothing to treat the problem. Sometimes they do nothing and wait for the patient to change their mind or become unresponsive. Once the person is unresponsive, they are assumed to consent to reasonable treatment. If the person is cooperative with the procedure, but doesn't want to sign the consent the practitioner may or may not procede.
I once had a guy with a deep cut on his arm with arterial bleeding. He was a knucklehead, and refused to give his name, or sign a consent for treatment. The MD stopped the bleeding and closed the wound, and had the police called, who waited outside the room until the procedure was over. As soon as the MD walked out, the police walked in. The patient didn't want to give his name because he had an outstanding felony warrant. If he would have just given his name and acted normal, no one would have called the police, and he could have walked away. The police were called because without giving his name he was essentially stealing, receiving service, but not agreeing to pay. The MD treated the emergent condition so he couldn't be sued. Good guys win, bad guy goes to jail. It's always a bad idea to be a knucklehead in the ED.

What is the cleanest area in the perineal area?
The cleanest area in the perineal region is typically considered to be the area around the urethra, particularly in females, as it is less exposed to fecal matter compared to the anal region. Maintaining cleanliness in this area involves proper hygiene practices, such as wiping from front to back after using the bathroom. Regular washing and wearing breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics can also help keep the perineal area clean and reduce the risk of infections.

Why does a nose look even more crooked after almost 2 months after the nose surgery?
Sometime plastic surgery -- rhinoplasty in particular -- doesn't turn out as planned, especially in reconstructive versus cosmetic procedures. However, it should look pretty much as promised (again, espeically in cosmetic procedures with no associated tissue damage). Go back to the surgeon and discuss this with her.
Are the Seventh-day Adventist hospitals connected to the Mormon church?
No. The Seventh-day Adventist Church operates about 60 hospitals in the United States and hundreds outside the US. Many of these have the name 'Adventist' in their title.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not own or operate any hospitals. They used to own LDS Hospital and Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, but sold these institutions to Intermountain Healthcare in 1975.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Mormon Church are not connected in any way.
Certainly not any good hospitals would. I am sure that some not-so-good hospitals have killed people before.
Answer:
Discounting murder mystery plots where patients are targeted to gain estate money for the hospitals, as part of international spy plots, or feed hordes of zombies in the basement, patients do die in hospitals. These deaths are sometimes a result of disease and their complications and at other times due to the actions of the hospitals. Whether this is killing the patients or causing their deaths is debatable. Causes of this type of death are:
- Misadventure. The wrong drug or treatment is employed by accident
- Misdiagnosis. The patient is treated for the wrong disease
- Patient instructions. The patient refuses services which might prolong his life.
- As a side effect. Use of palliative medications hastens death but reduces pain or suffering
- To little to late: Delays of patient arriving at hospital or to enter into proper treatment allow disease to progress to far to be treated
- Unexpected complications. Patient has secondary problems which are undetected until the primary problem is treated.
- Hospital acquired infections.
A billing routine is a term used to describe the way a person or place pays their bills. An example would be someone who pays all of their bills on the 15th of the month, each and every month.
