Rosacea is chronic condition affecting the skin of the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, and eyelids. It causes inflammation and shows up in the form of redness, spider-like blood vessels, skin eruptions resembling acne, or swelling of the aforementioned areas.
The actual situation is harmless to the body, though it may be uncomfortable or embarrassing. It is most likely to happen to women who are fair-skinned between the ages of thirty and fifty; however, men that are affected by it may notice worse symptoms.
Any equipment or accessories should be examined before, during, and after use to make sure that continued use is medically safe. Operators of the devices should be instructed and briefed on the proper operation, care, and handling of the unit and the accessories.
Incorrect use of the devices could easily result in serious injury to both patients and personnel. If there is more than one type of electrosurgical equipment present and in use, the staff should be trained so that they are qualified and capable of using the equipment in the clinical setting.
Staff should be instructed on the risks associated with minimally invasive procedures. One problem associated with procedures is direct coupling.
Direct coupling happens when laparoscopic active electrode touches another anatomic structure. When this happens, necrosis occurs in underlying tissue.
If a trauma occurs during use of the device or during reprocessing, it can cause the laparoscopic electrode to have insulation failure. This alternate pathway can allow the current to leave the electrode, which may result in serious injury.
This is especially true if the injury is internal. Undetected burns to nearby tissue and organs outside the endoscope's viewing field could be a result of capacitive-coupled RF currents.
Registered nurses who specialize in perioperative practices should have knowledge about the various types of implanted electronic devices used in the clinical setting.
Very often the skin and eyes are closely related when it comes to types of conditions that affect them; the eyelid may be subject to some of the same things that the rest of the face is. With this illness, the eyes may become itchy, bloodshot, red, dry, or experience a burning sensation.
Implanted electronic devices may be affected by one another if more than one is being used on a patient at one time. Other medical equipment may also cause interference if they come in contact with one another in a health care facility.
The administrative heads within the health care facility should assess and document annual competency of personnel in the safe use of the electrosurgical unit and its accessories. This assessment will document and ensure that each person using the devices is qualified and competent.
In order to diagnose this problem, doctors tend to browse an individual's family history or just perform a physical exam. Unfortunately, no known cure has been developed for rosacea, but there are usually things that those who suffer from it can do to possibly lessen the symptoms that present themselves.
Nursing activities should be thoroughly documented on a regular basis to ensure clear and correct communication between health care professionals, patients, and state boards. Records should include patient assessment, an attending plan, nursing diagnoses, identification of desired outcomes, interventions, and an evaluation of the patient's response to the care provided.
Some common triggers are sunlight, heat, stress, and alcohol and spicy food consumption. Each individual or patient is likely to develop different triggers, so it will most likely be best for you to pay attention to the things you have exposed yourself to recently when you notice a flare-up.
For example, someone who gets in the habit of taking a certain medication may feel a psychological need to continue taking it even after the corresponding medical condition has been treated. Unfortunately in some cases, the psychological need extends itself and becomes a physical need as well. If you stop taking the drug when you have developed a dependence on it, you may experience withdrawal symptoms. Sometimes these symptoms are dangerous and sometimes they are simply unpleasant and need to be worked through.
Some of the records that need to be documented thoroughly will include information about the electrosurgical device. Personnel should record the electrosurgical system identification serial number, the range of setting used, and the dispersive electrode placement. Personnel should also record the condition of the patient's skin before the placement of the dispersive electrode, and again after dispersive electrode is removed. It should also be recorded which adjunct electrosurgical devices used, like the ultrasonic scalpel or the bipolar forceps, and if a holster was used.
