Answer 1

Obese patient: Obese patients are at higher risk of getting cardiovascular disorders among which venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis) is the most common. In Venous thromboembolism, there is a formation of blood clots in the veins. Sequential compression devices are used to prevent the formation of clots and to improve the flow of blood in blood vessels. These devices are in the form of sleeves that are wrapped around the leg of patients and are inflated with air. The use of sequential compression devices helps to prevent complications like venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis. 1. Sequential compression devices to prevent venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis or Postphlebitic syndrome. There are various injuries that take place during the lifting, transferring, repositioning and handling of the obese patients in a healthcare system. To avoid injury of the patients and to improve the safe handling of the patients there are various mechanical lifting equipment and transfer tools that have been introduced in the system. This mechanical equipment helps in decreasing falls, preventing pressure ulcers, decreasing musculoskeletal disorders, and decreasing the workload of the staff and patients.

2. Mechanical lifting devices and additional personnel to prevent pressure ulcers, musculoskeletal disorders, fall of patients, and accumulation of fluid in the lungs, the workload of the patient. Retention suture devices or large looped reinforcing suture that is placed deep within the tissue to relieve tension on the primary suture. Retention suture is done at a distance away from the primary suture. Retention suture decreases wound dehiscence and allow stress relaxation of wound thus, enhance healing. 3. Retention suture devices or large looped sutures to prevent wound dehiscence or infection. Pregnant patient: The first trimester is the duration of embryogenesis certain drug and anesthesia administration during this period may affect the growth of the baby and may also increase the risk of abortion. During the second trimester risk of miscarriage are lowest so the urgent medical procedure is usually delayed until the delivery or second trimester to prevent fetal complications or death. 1. Urgent medical procedure is usually delayed until the delivery or second trimester to prevent fetal complication, death.
