Case management treatment

In 58 percent of cases, symptomatic treatment with Valium, pheno-barbital, or paregoric, for a period ranging from 2 to 14 days, was required to control drug effects. However, in 42 percent of the cases, symptoms were successfully managed with more conserva-... 

The same New Hampshire group have described continuous treatment teams (Drake et al. 1996), who treat the dual diagnosis patients, with 24-hour responsibility for case management. There is a flexible approach to individual and group therapy, the latter being either educational or treatment-oriented in the case of those committed to abstinence. There is a practical focus on social situation, social skills and aspects of daily living. 

Jerrell and Ridgeley (1995) compared three approaches - case management, behaviour therapy, and the 12-step model - at a follow-up of two years, and there was a suggestion, within generally encouraging results over 18 months, that behaviour therapy had the most effect, and 12-step treatment the least. In a number of studies expertly provided ultra-specialist treatment along the lines described has been found to be superior to... 

The primary cause of death in acute diazinon poisoning is a depression of the neurons in the brainstem (medulla), collectively known as the respiratory center, resulting in loss of respiratory drive or, in the case of managed treatment, cardiac failure due to electrical impulse or beat conduction abnormalities in cardiac muscles (fatal arrhythmias). Other effects, such as bronchoconstriction, excessive bronchial secretions, and paralysis of the respiratory muscles (intercostal muscles and diaphragm) may also contribute to respiratory insufficiency and death. Thus, death results from loss of respiratory drive and paralysis of the respiratory muscles, or cardiac failure, or both, with attendant asphyxia or cardiac arrest (Klaassen et al. 1986 Shankar 1967, 1978 Williams and Burson 1985). 

For simple GHB ingestion in a spontaneously breathing patient, intubation (insertion of tube into the trachea) may not be necessary. In these cases, management may include positioning the body to reduce the risk of choking, oxygen supplementation, monitoring, stimulation, treatment for persistent bradycardia (abnormal slowness of the heart), and admission to the hospital for observation. 

In most cases the treatment of these conditions involves both anti-inflammatory (typically topical corticosteroids) and antiglaucoma (typically aqueous suppressants) medications. Cycloplegics are used to prevent or manage posterior synechia, secondary neovascular glaucoma, and choroidal effusion. Miotics are typically avoided in the management of these conditions because their use... 

Investigate all accidents and make changes to prevent recurrence. Assign a case management worker to oversee medical treatment and retnrn-to-work efforts. Never move or lift from side to side. Keep items close to the body when reaching, carrying, or lifting. Plan the lift and size up the load to better reduce spine movement. Keep the patient load as close to the body as possible. Ten pounds...

The nurse works with human resources to develop a case management system for all employees who are off work with illnesses or injuries lasting more than 5 days. The system consists of a method for prompt treatment authorization, a referral list for second opinions, assistance in filling out insurance forms, communication with the insurance carrier to make sure that benefit payments are timely, and ongoing contact with the employee and the family. 

Hospitalise child and begin medical treatment immediately. Begin coordination of care (case management), clinical management, environmental investigation and lead hazard control immediately. 

Compensation Act as regards reporting and case management. None of the businesses who allowed the researcher to interview the injured employee had reported the injury, and the costs of medical treatments were met by public medical insurance (Medicare). 

Although no simple model exists, capable of ad hoc prediction of thermodynamic properties of polyolefin solutions in undocumented cases, the treatments discussed here do supply a manageable mathematical framework that greatly reduces the need for extensive experimentation.
