PATIENT DETAILS:

https://60shirisha.blogspot.com/2021/06/medicine-case-discussion_14.html?m=1

DIAGNOSIS: HFrEF with Atrial fibrillation? IHD (Heart failiure with reduced ejection fraction with Atrial fibrillation to? Ischemic Heart Disease)

TREATMENT :

 Inj. Amiodarone 150 mgIV stat (2 doses)

 Inj. Amiodarone infusion

 1mg/min till 6hr f/b 0.5 mg/min for next 18 hours

 Inj. Clexane 40mg Sc OD

EFFICACY OF TREAMENT :

Pharmacological reference : They are classified as Agents widening Action Potential [Class III Antiarrhythamic drugs].

                                                                        

*Prolongs Action potential duration and Q-T interval attributable to block of myocardial delayed rectifier K+ channels.

*Preferentially blocks inactivated Na+ channels (like lidocaine) with relatively rapid rate of channel recovery ;more effective in depressing conduction in cells that are partially depolarized or have longer action potential duration.

*Partially inhibits myocardial Ca+ channels.

*Has non competitive beta adrenergic blocking property and alters thyroid function.

NOTE :Despite prolongation of action potential duration ,the arrhythmia provoking potential of amiodarone is low, probably because it does not exhibit 'reverse use-dependence' of APD prolongation and a uniform action on this modality, or because of its multiple antiarrhythmic mechanisms.

Unlike other class III drugs, Amiodarone is independent of Rate Of Activation

Question 5: Testing scholarship competency in logging reflective observations on your concrete experiences of this last month.  

 MY EXPERIENCE ON CASESTUDY IN THE  MONTH OF JUNE

Being the first month of  my clinical posting, I had great experience with the subject. Though being an online platform, it was a virtual treat interacting with the Senior most faculties, Postgraduates and interns of the department along with live sessions where we had an opportunity to interact with patients for better understanding of there presenting illness and got fine teaching in the Art of history taking under guidance of Faculties, Postgraduates and interns team of General Medicine.

The department also took an initiative of  teaching students by process of active learning where students came forward with suggestions in regard with treatment planning, and raise questions about different aspects of history taking procedure which instilled in us deeper understanding of the diagnosis and its clinical importance.

 Feedback Sessions had also been conducted and suggested feedbacks have been implemented for a easy and effective learning .

Overall its been a wonderful experience till now .


Thank you
