Erik Erikson labeled the crisis of this period as Integrity vs Despair. Rather thanfocus on the external adjustments related to the series of physical social lossesexperienced by the elderly, Erikson focused on an internal struggle. As death
approaches, people begin a life review that involves deciding whether or not their liveshave been worthwhile. This opens them to the ultimate despair in the view that theirlives have not been what it could or what should have been, and that it is now too lateto do anything about it. The resulting disgust is actually contempt for themselves, whenfacing such despair invokes the search for ego integrity. Ego integrity involvesacceptance of one and only life cycle as something that had to be and that, whennecessity permitted no substitution. It includes accepting the mistakes that were made,while recognizing the good things that were accomplished, developing a sense ofinevitable order of the past it also involves a feeling of companionship, with anordering way of distant times and different pursuits or a detached, philosophicalwisdom about life in general rather than only ones own in particular.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGYTHE HEART
Function and Location of the Heart
The heart's job is to pump blood around the body. The heart is located in between thetwo lungs. It lies left of the middle of the chest.
Structure of the Heart
The heart is a muscle about the size of a fist, and is roughly cone-shaped. It is about12cm long, 9cm across the broadest point and about 6cm thick. The pericardium is a
fibrous covering which wraps around the whole heart. It holds the heart in place butallows it to move as it beats. The wall of the heart itself is made up of a special type ofmuscle called cardiac muscle.
Chambers of the Heart
The heart has two sides, the right side and the left side. The heart has four chambers.The left and right side each have two chambers, a top chamber and a bottom chamber.

C O L L E G E O F N U R S I N G
The two top chambers are known as the left and right atria(singular: atrium). The atriareceive blood from different sources. The left atrium receives blood from the lungs andthe right atrium receives blood from the rest of the body. The bottom two chambers are
known as the left and right ventricles. The ventricles pump blood out to different partsof the body. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs while the left ventricle pumpsout blood to the rest of the body. The ventricles have much thicker walls than the atriawhich allows them to perform more work by pumping out blood to the whole body.
Blood Vessels
Blood Vessel is tubes which carry blood. Veinsare blood vessels which carry bloodfrom the body back to the heart. Arteries are blood vessels which carry blood from theheart to the body. There are also microscopic blood vessels which connect arteries andveins together called capillaries. There are a few main blood vessels which connect to
different chambers of the heart. The aorta is the largest artery in our body. The leftventricle pumps blood into the aorta which then carries it to the rest of the body throughsmaller arteries. The pulmonary trunk is the large artery which the right ventricle pumpsinto. It splits into pulmonary arteries which take the blood to the lungs. The pulmonaryveins take blood from the lungs to the left atrium. All the other veins in our body draininto the inferior vena cava (IVC) or the superior. These two large veins then take theblood from the rest of the body into the right atrium.
Valves
Valves are fibrous flaps of tissue found between the heart chambers and in the bloodvessels. They are rather like gates which prevent blood from flowing in the wrong
direction. They are found in a number of places. Valves between the atria andventricles are known as the right and left atrioventricular valves, otherwise known asthe tricuspid and mitral valves respectively. Valves between the ventricles and thegreat arteries are known as the semilunar valves. The aortic is found at the base of theaorta, while the pulmonary valveis found the base of the pulmonary trunk. There arealso many valves found in veins throughout the body. However, there are no valvesfound in any of the other arteries besides the aorta and pulmonary trunk.
What is the Cardiovascular System
The cardiovascular system refers to the heart, blood vessels and the blood. Bloodcontains oxygen and other nutrients which your body needs to survive. The body takes
these essential nutrients from the blood. At the same time, the body dumps wasteproducts like carbon dioxide, back into the blood, so they can be removed. The mainfunction of the cardiovascular system is therefore to maintain blood flow to all parts ofthe body, to allow it to survive. Veins deliver used blood from the body back to theheart. Blood in the veins is low in oxygen (as it has been taken out by the body) andhigh in carbon dioxide (as the body has unloaded it back into the blood). All the veinsdrain into the superior and inferior vena cava which then drain into the right atrium. Theright atrium pumps blood into the right ventricle. Then the right ventricle pumps blood

to the pulmonary trunk, through the pulmonary arteries and into the lungs. In the lungsthe blood picks up oxygen that we breathe in and gets rid of carbon dioxide, which webreathe out. The blood is becomes rich in oxygen which the body can use. From the
lungs, blood drains into the left atrium and is then pumped into the left ventricle. Theleft ventricle then pumps this oxygen-rich blood out into the aorta which then distributesit to the rest of the body through other arteries. The main arteries which branch off theaorta and take blood to specific parts of the body are:
Carotid arteries, which take blood to the neck and head
Coronary arteries, which provide blood supply to the heart itself
Hepatic artery, which takes blood to the liver with branches going to the stomach
Mesenteric artery, which takes blood to the intestines
Renal arteries, which takes blood to the kidneys
Femoral arteries, which take blood to the legs
The body is then able to use the oxygen in the blood to carry out its normal functions.This blood will again return back to the heart through the veins and the cycle continues.
Blood Flow of the Heart
The heart is completely divided into aright and left halves. These 2 halves ofthe heart act as separate pumps, andthere is no mixing of blood betweenthem. Each is in charge of pumpingblood through one of the two bloodvessel circuits.

The right heart pumps blood to the
pulmonary circuit, where the blood picksup oxygen from the lungs. The left heartthen pumps it into the systemic circuit,where the blood delivers oxygen to thetissues that need it. Finally, the bloodreturns to the right heart and the cyclerepeats itself.
Blood always leave the heart througharteries, which include the aorta andpulmonary arteries. Conversely, blood
enters the heart through the veins, thelargest being the pulmonary veins thevena cava.

MEDICAL SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
1. Procedure (Surgery)
Procedure/ Date Indication/ Analysis
Tracheostomy / July 5 2011 A tracheostomy is a surgically createdopening in the neck leading directly tothe trachea (the breathing tube). It is
maintained open with a hollow tubecalled a tracheostomy tube.
A tracheostomy is usually done for oneof three reasons: (1) to bypass anobstructed upper airway (an objectobstructing the upper airway will preventoxygen from the mouth to reach thelungs); (2) to clean and remove
secretions from the airway; and (3) tomore easily, and usually more safely,deliver oxygen to the lungs.
Need for further and moreaggressive surgery
Infection
Air trapping in the surroundingtissues or chest. In raresituations, a chest tube may be
required Scarring of the airway or erosion
of the tube into the surroundingstructures (rare).
Need for a permanenttracheostomy. This is most likelythe result of the disease processwhich made the a tracheostomy

NURSING RESPONSIBILITIES
Preparatory Nursing Measures. Inaddition to routine preparation of thepatient unit for postoperative care, thefollowing measures should be planned inadvance.
(1) The patient will require constantattendance for at least the first 48hours.The nursing personnel must remembertwo important things: the patient's lifedepends upon a clear airway and thepatient will have a temporary loss ofvoice. Therefore, the patient must beobserved closely for airway patency andimmediate action taken when anyadverse signs or symptoms are present.The patient wills feel anxious about his
inability to communicate with his voice.Always have the call bell available to thepatient. Devise a temporary means of
(2) For the first few dayspostoperatively, the patient should bekept in a room where the temperatureand humidity can be maintained atoptimum levels. Increased temperatureand humidity will help to reduce thetracheal irritation that results when
inspired air has bypassed the naturalwarming and moisturizing of thenasopharyngeal airway.
(3) The patient's room should besupplied with a variety of equipmentnecessary to the care of the patient.Such things include suction equipment,a sparetracheostomy tube set, and

sterile dressing material.
b. Postoperative Nursing Measures. In
addition to routine postoperative nursingcare, the following nursing actionsshould be noted.
(1) Always apply basic principles ofaseptic technique when caring for theincision and the airway. Whensuctioning, use separate set-ups forpharyngeal and tracheostomysuctioning.(2) Constantly observe thepatient for signs of respiratory
obstruction such as restlessness,cyanosis, increased pulse, or gurglingnoises during respiration
Central Venous Pressure / July 5 2011
Central venous pressure is considered adirect measurement of the bloodpressure in the right atrium and venacava. It is acquired by threading acentral venous catheter (subclaviandouble lumen central line shown) intoany of several large veins. It is threaded
so that the tip of the catheter rests in thelower third of the superior vena cava.The pressure monitoring assembly isattached to the distal port of amultilumen central vein catheter.
Wound debridement / July 5 2011 An open wound or ulcer can not beproperly evaluated until the dead tissueor foreign matter is removed. Woundsthat contain necrotic and ischemic (lowoxygen content) tissue take longer toclose and heal. This is because necrotictissue provides an ideal growth medium

for bacteria, especiallyforBacteroides spp. and Clostridium
perfringens that causes the gas
gangrene so feared in military medicalpractice. Though a wound may notnecessarily be infected, the bacteria cancause inflammation and strain the body'sability to fight infection. Debridement isalso used to treat pockets of pus calledabscesses. Abscesses can develop intoa general infection that may invade thebloodstream (sepsis) and leadto amputationand even death. Burnedtissue or tissue exposed to corrosive
substances tends to form a hard blackcrust, called an eschar, while deepertissue remains moist and white, yellowand soft, or flimsy and inflamed. Escharsmay also require debridement topromote healing.
