HOSPITAL INTRODUCTION
ABOUT HOSPITAL:
Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited is an Indian multinational healthcare group headquartered in
Chennai. Apart from the eponymous hospital chain, the company also operates pharmacies, primary
care and diagnostic centers, and telehealth clinics through its subsidiaries.
The company was founded by Prathap C. Reddy in 1983 as the first corporate healthcare provider in
India. Several of Apollo's hospitals have been among the first in India to receive international
healthcare accreditation by the America-based Joint Commission International (JCI) as well as NABH
accreditation.The first branch at Chennai was inaugurated by the then President of India Zail Singh.
Apollo developed telemedicine services, after starting a pilot project in 2000 at Aragonda, Prathap
Reddy's home village.
In December 2012, Apollo Hospitals sold its 38% stake in Apollo Health Street, the group's
healthcare business process outsourcing division, to Sutherland Global Services for ₹225 crore
(US$42.11 million).
Apollo signed a MoU with Health Education England in April 2017 to provide a large number of
doctors to fill vacancies in the English National Health Service.
Apollo Reach - a first of its kind endeavour to make advanced technology and experienced medical
professionals accessible to the people living in rural and semi urban areas in the country. The Prime
Minister of India Dr Manmohan Singh launched the Apollo Reach Hospitals on Sep
5 2008 at Chennai at a glittering function graced by the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu
Dr.M.Karunanidhi, Union Minister of Finance Shri. P. Chidambaram and Union Minister of Health
Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss. The first Reach hospital at Karimnagar,Andhra Pradesh and the foundation
stone for the hospital at Karaikudi, Tamilnadu were launched. Apollo Reach Hospitals aim to make
world class healthcare accessible to people even in remote areas of the country. Apollo Reach
Hospitals would be 100-150 bedded multispecialty facilities in tier 2 and 3 cities across India and over
the next 24- 36 months; over 200 such Apollo Reach Hospitals all over the country are to be set up.

ROLE OF A DIETICIAN:
Dieticians are the health professionals, ideally trained to implement and change dietary habits of an
individual or population. One who plans and supervises the preparation of therapeutic or other diets
for individuals or groups in hospitals, institutions, other establishments and for workers in particular
sectors, gives instructions in selection and proper preparation of food according to dietary principles,
performs duties related to nutrition programs and may be responsible for food purchasing on behalf
of an organization or establishment.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF A DIETITIAN:
⮚ Collecting, organizing and assessing data relating to the health and nutritional status of
individual groups and populations.
⮚ Interpreting scientific information and communicating information, advice, education and
professional opinion to individuals, groups and communities.
⮚ Managing client centered nutrition care for individuals by planning appropriate diets and
menus and educating people on their individual nutritional needs and ways of assessing and
preparing their food.
⮚ Planning implementing and evaluating nutrition program with groups. Communities or
population as a part of team. This may be in a community health, public health or food
industries setting.
⮚ Managing food service systems to provide safe and nutritious food by designing nutritionally
appropriate menus and designing and implementing nutritional policies. • Undertaking food
and nutrition research and evaluating practice.
PATIENT COUNSELLING:
Patient counseling is a broad team which describes the process through which health care
professionals attempt to increase patient knowledge of health issues. The process providers for the
exchange of information between the patient and health practitioner. The information gathered is
needed to assess the patient’s medical condition to further design, select, implement, evaluate, and
modify health interventions.
The structure of patient counseling is divided into four groups.

COUNSELLING CONTENT:
DIET PRESCRIPTION:
The formulation is the most important nutritional therapy for each patient. Requirement is
considered with that of initial metabolic, biochemical and anthropometric data obtained by
nutritional assessment of the patient.
➢ The dietary prescription is made on the basics of the patient’s age, activity
pattern, BMI, and type of treatments he /she is undergoing.
➢ Estimation of body weight and its comparison with desirable body weight.
8
➢ Giving a written diet chart along with their calorie for a day, their ideal body
weight, timings of the meals and snacks and guidelines to be followed. A diet
sheet was given to every patient counselled which has the requirement of
calories and the necessary modifications in the diet.
• Establishes and maintains standard of food production and services and sanitation.
KITCHEN
The kitchen is divided into various sections starting with:
• Grinding area
• Washing area
9
FOOD TASTING:
TASTING is a special feature present at the Apollo hospital which enables a check on the food
prepared in the kitchen, served to the patient. The food should be cooked well to its exact
texture/consistency. It should be cooked properly, appealing, appetizing, and colorful so that it is
accepted gracefully by the patient.
Tasting is done twice a day for lunch and for dinner. This duty of tasting is assigned to dietician. A
Special book is maintained in which tasting register is entered in the food is categorized as very
good, good and satisfactory, not satisfactory. Column for extra comment is also provided. The date
along with time is mentioned to ensure regular checking of food. The supervisor is posted along with
dietician; the remarks are noted and advised to rectify it. If any possible changes can be made, it is
done. Also, it is checked that these mistakes are not repeated to create any inconvenience to the
patient.
• Preparation area located decides the staff dining room. The cooking area is well
equipped with cutting and peeling machine. A dough maker, tawa, dal maker, rice
steamer and wet grinder
• Dish wash area is provided for washing big utensils. Free flow of hot water is
provided
• Storeroom is located in the basement. There is facility for both dry and cold storage.
The dry store contains all the non-perishable and semi=perishable items. There is a
cold storage room where perishable fruits and vegetables are stored.

GENERAL HOSPITAL DIETS:
The Diets given to the patient have been generalized under the following headings:
1. Normal diet
2. Diabetic diet
3. Therapeutic diet
7. Soft diet
8. Renal diet
1. NORMAL DIET
12
2. DIABETIC DIET:
Dietary measures are an essential part of the treatment of a diabetic patient who requires a treatment
& a sulphonyl urea drugs & insulin. The diet for a diabetic patient is prescribed in terms of exchange
list. It is a high protein, low fats &a high complex carbohydrate diet.
DIABETIC DIET
3. THERAPEUTIC DIET:
Diet therapy relates to modification of normal diet to meet the needs of the sick individuals. The
normal diet may be modified to provide change in consistency as in fluid & soft diets to increase or
decrease the energy value, to include greater of lesser amount of one or more nutrients, for example,
high protein, low sodium etc., to increase or decrease bulk high &low fiber diets, to provide foods
bland in flavor.
The planning of therapeutic diet implies the ability to adopt the principles of normal nutrition to the
various regimens for adequacy, correctness, economy & palatability. It requires recognition of the
need for dietary supplements such as vitamins &mineral concentrates when the nature of the diet
itself imposes severe restrictions, the patient’s appetite is poor, or absorption & utilization are
impaired so that the diet cannot meet the need of optimum nutrition.
Therapeutic diet begins with normal diet which is modified.
TYPES OF THERAPEUTIC DIETS:
A. CLEAR LIQUID DIET: Clear liquid diet is usually used for 1-2 days after surgery &only
clear fluid are given. This diet gives kcals with electrolytes & no proteins. It does not leave
any residue.
B. LIQUID DIET:
13
It is included wherever a patient is unable to chew, swallow solid foods. In conditions like after
surgery, myocardial infraction (first 24 hours), burns and gastroenteritis. It includes all the foods that
are liquid at room temperature.
Clear liquid diet liquid diet
C. SOFT DIET:
This diet is one of the most frequently used routine diets. Many hospital patients are placed on this
until a diagnosis is done. It may be used in acute infection, following patients who are unable to
chew. It is made up of simple easily digested food & contains no harsh fiber& no rich highly
seasoned foods. Patients with dental problems are given mechanically soft diet. It is often further
modified for certain pathogenic conditions as bland diet or low residue diet which includes refined
cereals & simple like bread, egg, chicken, potato, strained fruit juices.
14
FOODS HAVING CHOLESTEROL LOWERING EFFECTS:
➢ Guar gum (extracted from the leaves of cluster beans) has hypo
cholesterol emic effect.
Although it is often a life –saving man oeuvre, the patient’s quality of life may be adversely
affected.
15
ENTERAL FEEDING IS BENEFICIAL FOR:
• Critically ill patients, in whom enteral feeding promotes gut barrier integrity and
reduced rates of infection and mortality.
• Postoperative patient with limited oral intake. The complication rate and duration of
hospital stay are reduced by early enteral feeding after:
Elective gastrointestinal surgery / gastrointestinal cancer surgery
Early post-pyloric feeding (duodenal or jejunal) is useful as, although gastric and colonic function is
impaired postoperatively, small bowel function is often normal. Feeding is usually introduced after 1
to 5 days.
Patients with severe pancreatitis without pseudo cyst or fistula complication. Enteral feeding
promotes the resolution of inflammation and reduces the incidence of infection.
16
Low –flow enteral feeding may also be useful in combination with parenteral nutrition
to maintain gut function and reduce the likelihood of cholestasis.
ACCESS:
Short-term access is usually achieved using nasogastric (NG) or Naso jejunal (NJ) tubes at an initial
continuous feeding rate of 3mls per hour. Percutaneous endoscopic gastronomy (PEG) or
jejunostomy placement should be considered if feeding is planned for longer than one month.
NG TUBES:
o These are the most used delivery routes but depend on adequate gastric
emptying.
o They allow the use of hypertonic feeds, high feeding rates and bolus feeding
into the stomach reservoir.
o Tubes are simple to insert but easily displaced.
NJ TUBES: [NASTRO-JEJUNUM]
o These reduce the incidence of gastro-oesophageal reflux and are useful in the
presence of delayed gastric emptying.
o Post –pyloric placement can be difficult but may be aided by intravenous
PEG TUBES: [percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy]
17
o They are inserted directly through the stomach wall endoscopically or
surgically, under antibiotic cover.
FEED PREPARATIONS:
Various nutritionally complete pre-packaged feeds are available:
• Pre-digested feeds:
18
These contain nitrogen as short peptides or free amino acids and aim to improve nutrient absorption
in the presence of pancreatic insufficiency or inflammatory bowel disease.
The fiber content of feeds is variable, and some are supplemented with vitamin K, which may
interact with other medications.
Nutrients such as glutamine, arginine and essential omega-3 fatty acids can modulate immune
function. Enteral immune nutrition may decrease major infectious complications and length of
hospital stay in surgical some critically ill patients. Further research is ongoing.
COMPLICATIONS OF ENTERAL FEEDING:
General Complications of feeding:
Tube complications:
NG tube:
This may cause nasopharyngeal discomfort and later nasal erosions, abscesses and sinusitis.
Fine –bore tubes should be used and replaced in the alternate nostril each month. Large stiff tubes
are particularly unsafe in the presence of varices and insertion of any tube should be avoided for
three days following acute varicella bleed.
19
GASTROINTESTINAL SYMPTOMS:
Gut motility and absorption are promoted by hormones released during mastication, with
coordinated stomach emptying and the in presence of intraluminal nutrients.
As the usual physiological mechanisms are bypassed during enteral feeding, gastrointestinal
symptoms such as abdominal bloating, cramps, nausea, diarrhea and constipation are
common.
Symptoms may respond to reduced feed administration rates, continuous rather than bolus
feeding, alternative feed preparation or the addition of prokinetic agent.
PARENTERAL NUTRITION
Parental nutrition, or intravenous feeding, is a method of getting nutrition into your body through
your veins. Depending on which vein is used, this procedure is often referred to as either total
parenteral nutrition (TPN) or peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN nutrition delivers nutrients such as
sugar, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, electrolytes, and trace element to These Nutrients are vital in
maintaining high energy, hydration and strength levels. Some people only need to get certain types
of nutrition intravenously.
The most common side effects of parenteral nutrition are mouth sores, poor night vision, and skin
changes. You should speak with your doctor if these conditions don’t this form of nutrition is used to
help people who can’t or shouldn’t get their core nutrients from food. It’s often used for people with:
• Crohn’s disease
• Cancer
20
It also can help people with conditions that results from low blood flow to their bowels.
SIDE EFFECTS:
Other less common side effects include:
• Changes in heartbeat
• Confusion
• Convulsions or seizures
• Difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Fever or chills
• Increased urination
• Jumpy reflexes
• Memory loss
• Thirst
21
You’ll most likely complete intravenous feedings yourself at home. It usually takes 10 to 12 hours,
and you’ll repeat this procedure five to seven times a week. Your healthcare provider will provide
detailed instructions for this procedure. In general, you first need to check your nutrient bags for
floating particles and discoloration.
RISKS OF PARENTERAL NUTRITION:
The most common risk of using parenteral nutrition is developing catheter infection. Other risks
include:
• Blood clots.
• Liver disease.
• Bone disease.
It’s essential to maintain clean tubing, needleless access ports, catheters, and other equipment to
minimize these risks.
COMPLICATIONS:
About 5 to 10% of patients have complications related to central venous access.
22
reflect dehydration, which can be corrected by giving free water as 5% dextrose via a peripheral
vein.
Volume overload (suggested by > 1kg/day weight gain) may occur when patients have high daily
energy requirements and thus require large fluid volumes.
Metabolic bone disease, or bone demineralization (osteoporosis or osteomalacia), develops in some
patients given TPN for>3mo.The mechanism is unknown. Advanced disease can cause severe
periarticular, lower-extremity, and back pain.
Adverse reactions to lipid emulsions (e.g., dyspnea, cutaneous allergic reactions, nausea,
headache, back pain, sweating, and dizziness) are uncommon but may occur early, particularly if
lipids are given at>1.0 kcal/kg/h. Temporary hyperlipidemia may occur, particularly in patients with
kidney or liver failure; treatment usually is not required. Delayed adverse reaction to lipid emulsions
include hepatomegaly, mild elevation of liver enzymes, splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, and
leukopenia and especially in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary
function abnormalities.
Gall bladder complicationsinclude cholelithiasis, gall bladder sludge, and cholecystitis. These
complications can be caused or worsened by prolonged gall bladder stasis. Stimulating contraction
by providing about 20 to 30% of calories as fat and stopping glucose infusion several hours a day is
helpful. Oral or enteral intake also helps. Treatment with metronidazole, ursodeoxycholic acid,
Phenobarbital, or cholecystokinin helps some patients with cholestasis.
RYLES TUBE FEEDING:
❖ Close distal and coned with radio opaque material for accurate
placement.
❖ Tube with radio- opaque line, marked at 50- 70 cms from the tip for
accurate placement.
• This occurs in previously malnourished patients who are fed with high carbohydrate load
23
• Carbohydrates (e.g., glucose) in the feed can cause a large increase in the circulating insulin
level. This results in a rapid and dramatic fall in phosphate potassium and magnesium –with
an increasing extracellular fluid (ECF) volume.
• As the body tries to switch from catabolic (starvation mode) to using exogenous fuel sources,
there is an increase in oxygen consumption, increased respiratory and cardiac workload (may
precipitate acute heart failure and tachypnoea and make weaning from a ventilator difficult).
Demand for nutrients and oxygen may outstrip supply.
Both above can lead to multiple organ failure, respiratory and/ or cardiac failure, arrhythmias,
rhabdomyolysis, seizures or coma, red cell and /or leukocyte dysfunction.
The gut may have undergone some atrophy with starvation, and, with the return of enteral feeding,
there may be intolerance to the feed, with nausea and diarrhea. Feeds should be start slowly and the
electrolytes closely monitored and adequately replaced to avoid these problems developing.
MODIFICATION OF NORMAL DIET:
The nutritional needs of a normal person in his life span are modified according to the demands of
growth and developmental different stages of life.
Diet Therapy can protect the individual from further attack of the disease and restore normal health.
NEED FOR DIET MODIFICATION:
5. Consistency.
6. Method of Feeding.

CASE STUDY: 1
NEPHROLOGY
Chronic kidney disease, also called chronic kidney failure, involves a gradual loss of kidney
function. Your kidneys filter wastes and excess fluids from your blood, which are then removed in
your urine. Advanced chronic kidney disease can cause dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and
wastes to build up in your body.
In the early stages of chronic kidney disease, you might have few signs or symptoms. You might
not realize that you have kidney disease until the condition is advanced.
Treatment for chronic kidney disease focuses on slowing the progression of kidney damage, usually
by controlling the cause. But, even controlling the cause might not keep kidney damage from
progressing. Chronic kidney disease can progress to end-stage kidney failure, which is fatal without
artificial filtering
25
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of chronic kidney disease develop over time if kidney damage progresses
slowly. Loss of kidney function can cause a buildup of fluid or body waste or electrolyte problems.
Depending on how severe it is, loss of kidney function can cause
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Sleep problems
• Urinating more or less
• Decreased mental sharpness
• Muscle cramps
• Swelling of feet and ankles
• Dry, itchy skin
• High blood pressure (hypertension) that's difficult to control
• Shortness of breath, if fluid builds up in the lungs
• Chest pain, if fluid builds up around the lining of the heart
Signs and symptoms of kidney disease are often nonspecific. This means they can also be caused by
other illnesses. Because your kidneys are able to make up for lost function, you might not develop
signs and symptoms until irreversible damage has occurred.
26
Causes:
Chronic kidney disease occurs when a disease or condition impairs kidney function, causing kidney
damage to worsen over several months or years. Diseases and conditions that cause chronic kidney
disease include:
• Type 1 or type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Glomerulonephritis , an inflammation of the kidney's filtering units (glomeruli)
• Interstitial nephritis an inflammation of the kidney's tubules and surrounding structures
• Polycystic kidney disease or other inherited kidney diseases
• Prolonged obstruction of the urinary tract, from conditions such as enlarged prostate, kidney
stones and some cancers
• Vesicoureteral reflux, a condition that causes urine to back up into your kidneys • Recurrent
kidney infection, also called pyelonephritis Risk factors:
Factors that can increase your risk of chronic kidney disease include:
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Heart (cardiovascular) disease
• Smoking
• Obesity
• Being Black, Native American or Asian American
• Family history of kidney disease
• Abnormal kidney structure
• Older age
• Frequent use of medications that can damage the kidneys Complications:
Chronic kidney disease can affect almost every part of your body. Potential complications include:
• Fluid retention, which could lead to swelling in your arms and legs, high blood pressure, or fluid
in your lungs (pulmonary edema)
• A sudden rise in potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia), which could impair your heart's
function and can be life-threatening
• Anemia
• Heart disease
• Weak bones and an increased risk of bone fractures
• Decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction or reduced fertility
• Damage to your central nervous system, which can cause difficulty concentrating, personality
changes or seizures
• Decreased immune response, which makes you more vulnerable to infection
• Pericarditis, an inflammation of the saclike membrane that envelops your heart (Pericardium)
27
• Pregnancy complications that carry risks for the mother and the developing fetus • Irreversible
damage to your kidneys (end-stage kidney disease), eventually requiring either dialysis or a
kidney transplant for survival
28
Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis, also called as hemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of purifying the blood
of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. This type of dialysis achieves the
extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the
blood when the kidneys are kidney transplant and peritoneal dialysis. An alternative method for
extracorporeal separation of blood components such as plasma or
cells is apheresis
Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis machine
29
Other kidney dialysis names
Specialty nephrology
Hemodialysis is the choice of renal replacement therapies for patients who need dialysis acutely,
and for many patients as maintenance therapy. It provides excellent, rapid clearance of solutes.
A nephrologist (a medical kidney specialist) decides when hemodialysis is needed and the various
parameters for a dialysis treatment. These include frequency (how many treatments per week),
length of each treatment, and the blood and dialysis solution flow rates, as well as the size of the
dialyzer. The composition of the dialysis solution is also sometimes adjusted in terms of its
sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate levels. In general, the larger the body size of an individual,
the more dialysis he/she will need.

CASE STUDY-02
INTRODUCTION:
Chronic liver disease occurs when the scar tissue replaces healthy tissue in the body’s liver. Chronic
liver disease is the 12th leading cause of death in the United States. There was a 65% liver disease
increase in deaths due to chronic liver disease between 1999 and 2016. The reason is mainly due to
alcohol consumption, and currently 40% of Americans over drink. The liver is one of the body’s
main filtering systems. Noteworthy functions of the liver are removing waste from the body,
producing amino acids, producing blood clots, making new proteins, and producing bile for
digestion. Additionally, it metabolizes medications into the ingredient needed for wellness in the
body. People experience muscle loss, itching, weight loss and kidney failure with the progression of
liver disease.
If the liver doesn’t work as it should due to chronic liver disease, it causes ill effects throughout the
body. Effects can range from jaundice, high blood pressure, and a swollen abdomen, among others.
Even more severe symptoms can develop if the liver disease is extreme; the liver can be severely
damaged and stop working, resulting in a number of toxins in the blood. Sufferers can even die
from complications from chronic liver disease such as liver cancer.
Common causes of chronic liver disease are:
• Infection
• Alcohol abuse
• Exposure to toxic chemicals
• Blocked or damaged tubes
• Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E
• Episodes of heart failure
• Viruses
• High cholesterol
• Autoimmune disorders
• Parasitic infection
• Certain medications
39
Heavy Alcohol Use and the Stages of Chronic Liver Disease:
Although people can get liver disease from many of the listed reasons, most of the time,
chronic liver disease stems from alcoholism. It usually takes at least 8 years of heavy
drinking for someone to develop chronic liver disease, although the exact timeline can be
more or less. The doctor must diagnose the patient’s liver disease with a blood test or a
liver biopsy, as liver disease has few symptoms initially. In diagnosing the patient, the
doctor can determine the severity of the liver disease. There are 4 different stages of
alcohol-related liver disease, producing different results:
The initial stages of liver disease include mild fibrosis of the liver disease through scarring of
the liver. This is often caused by alcohol, although other health conditions can produce liver
disease. As a result, the liver malfunctions, and the person experiences discomfort.
Alcoholic Hepatitis
In the second stage, called “the alcoholic hepatitis” phase, the person suffers inflammation of
the liver. The cells of the liver are destroyed by the heavy amounts of alcohol the person has
consumed over time. Roughly 35% of heavy drinkers go through this phase of liver disease,
and also develop:
• Jaundice
• Vomiting
• Nausea
• Fever
• Abdominal pain
Liver scarring/fibrosis
40
Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis is a condition of scarring on the liver, which can worsen over time. This
condition can occur from type 2 diabetes, in men, people older than 50, and
alcohol abusers. There are 200,000 annual cases of cirrhosis in the U.S.
Percentage-wise, 10% to 20% of heavy drinkers eventually get cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis can be life threatening if not treated, and can increase the risk of
infection from other potentially fatal conditions. Most prominently, cirrhosis can
lead to liver failure and liver cancer. Liver cancer results from the spreading of
unhealthy cells in the liver. Liver failure denotes lack of liver functions. The
individuals suffering this may experience fatigue, diarrhea, confusion, excess
bleeding, and death. If someone is enduring the pain of liver failure, don’t hesitate
to get medical care.

FEMUR FRACTURE
The femur is the thigh bone, the largest and strongest bone in the human body.1 It supports the
weight of the body and helps you move. Reaching from the hip to the knee, the femur is extremely hard
and not easy to break. A broken thigh bone is one of the few simple fractures that can be considered life-
threatening because it can cause
significant internal bleeding.
51
Anatomy:
There are four types of bones in your body: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular
bones. The femur—the only bone in the upper leg—is a long bone. Longer than they are wide,
this type of bone has spongy bone tissue at both ends and a cavity filled with bone marrow in the
shaft.3
Femur is Latin for thigh, and the bone is commonly referred to as the "thigh bone." The end of
the thigh bone closest to the heart (proximal end) is called the femoral head. This is the ball part
of the ball-and-socket hip joint.
Below the head of the femur is the neck and the greater trochanter. The greater trochanter attaches to
tendons that connect to the gluteus minimus and the gluteus medius muscles. These muscles pull the leg to
help with walking and running.
Below the greater trochanter is the lesser trochanter, situated at the base of the neck of the
femur. The lesser trochanter is the part of the femur attached to a pair of muscles that help flex
the thigh to lift the leg forward.
Below the lesser trochanter is the gluteal tuberosity, which is where the gluteus maximus is
attached.
The main shaft of the femur is known as the body. The distal end of the femur (the end
furthest from the heart) is where it connects with the patella (knee cap) and the bones of the
lower leg (the tibia and fibula).
This end of the femur has a saddle that rests on the top of the tibia. It has rounded edges on
either side of the knee joint, known as the condyles. The depression between the condyles is
called the patellar groove.
Inside the body of the femur is the medullary cavity, which contains bone marrow. At the ends
of the femur are areas of compact bone, which is solid and does not contain marrow.
Surrounding the compact bone is spongy bone, which has lots of small cavities dispersed
throughout it. The neck and head of the femur are made up of spongy bone.
52
Function:
The femur supports the weight of the body on the leg. All other leg bones are attached to the
bottom portion of the femur.
But the femur isn't just for moving the body. There is both yellow and red bone marrow in the
shaft of the femur, and they play a critical role in producing blood cells and storing fat.4
Blood flow in the femur is hard to measure. It is a significant amount, so much so that a
needle inserted into the spongy bone can be used to infuse enough fluid into the bloodstream
to offset shock or dehydration.
Femur fractures vary greatly, depending on the force that causes the break. The pieces of
bone may line up correctly (stable fracture) or be out of alignment (displaced fracture).
The skin around the fracture may be intact (closed fracture) or the bone may puncture the
skin (open fracture).
Doctors describe fractures to each other using classification systems. Femur fractures
are classified depending on:
● The location of the fracture (the femoral shaft is divided into thirds: distal, middle,
proximal)
● The pattern of the fracture (for example, the bone can break in different directions, such as
crosswise, lengthwise, or in the middle)
● Whether the skin and muscle over the bone is torn by the injury
53
Transverse fracture: In this type of fracture, the break is a straight horizontal line
going across the femoral shaft.
Oblique fracture. This type of fracture has an angled line across the shaft.
Spiral fracture. The fracture line encircles the shaft like the stripes on a candy cane.
A twisting force to the thigh causes this type of fracture.
Comminuted fracture. In this type of fracture, the bone has broken into three or
more pieces. In most cases, the number of bone fragments corresponds with the amount
of force needed to break the bone.
Open fracture. If a bone breaks in such a way that bone fragments stick out through the
skin or a wound penetrates down to the broken bone, the fracture is called an open or
compound fracture. Open fractures often involve much more damage to the surrounding
muscles, tendons, and ligaments. They have a higher risk for complications—especially
infections—and take a longer time to heal.
54
Cause
Femoral shaft fractures in young people are frequently due to some type of high-energy
collision. The most common cause of femoral shaft fracture is a motor vehicle or motorcycle
crash. Being hit by a car while walking is another common cause, as are falls from heights and
gunshot wounds.
A lower-force incident, such as a fall from standing, may cause a femoral shaft fracture
in an older person who has weaker bones.
Symptoms
A femoral shaft fracture usually causes immediate, severe pain. You will not be able to put
weight on the injured leg, and it may look deformed—shorter than the other leg and no longer
straight.
Doctor Examination:
It is important that your doctor know the specifics of how you hurt your leg. For example, if
you were in a car accident, it would help your doctor to know how fast you were going,
whether you were the driver or a passenger, whether you were wearing your seat belt, and if
the airbags went off. This information will help your doctor determine how you were hurt and
whether you may be hurt somewhere else.
It is also important for your doctor to know if you have any other health conditions, such as
high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, or allergies. Your doctor will also ask you if you use
tobacco products or are taking any medications.
After discussing your injury and medical history, your doctor will do a careful examination.
He or she will assess your overall condition, and then focus on your leg. Your doctor will look
for:
● An obvious deformity of the thigh/leg (an unusual angle, twisting, or shortening of the leg)
● Breaks in the skin
● Bruises
● Bony pieces that may be pushing on the skin
After the visual inspection, your doctor will feel along your thigh, leg, and foot looking for
abnormalities and checking the tightness of the skin and muscles around your thigh. He or
she will also feel for pulses. If you are awake, your doctor will test for sensation and
movement in your leg and foot.
55
Imaging Tests:
Imaging tests will provide your doctor with more information about your injury.
X-rays. The most common way to evaluate a fracture is with x-rays, which provide clear
images of bone. X-rays can show whether a bone is intact or broken. They can also show the
type of fracture and where it is located within the femur.
56
Nonsurgical Treatment:
Most femoral shaft fractures require surgery to heal. It is unusual for femoral shaft fractures
to be treated without surgery. Very young children are sometimes treated with a cast. For
more information on that, see Thighbone (Femur) Fractures in Children.
Surgical Treatment:
Timing of surgery. Most femur fractures are fixed within 24 to 48 hours. On occasion, fixation
will be delayed until other life-threatening injuries or unstable medical conditions are
stabilized. To reduce the risk of infection, open fractures are treated with antibiotics as soon
as you arrive at the hospital. The open wound, tissues, and bone will be cleaned during
surgery.
For the time between initial emergency care and your surgery, your doctor may place your
leg either in a long-leg splint or in traction. This is to keep your broken bones as aligned as
possible and to maintain the length of your leg.
Skeletal traction is a pulley system of weights and counterweights that holds the broken
pieces of bone together. It keeps your leg straight and often helps to relieve pain.
External fixation. In this type of operation, metal pins or screws are placed into the bone
above and below the fracture site. The pins and screws are attached to a bar outside the
skin. This device is a stabilizing frame that holds the bones in the proper position.
External fixation is usually a temporary treatment for femur fractures. Because they are
easily applied, external fixators are often put on when a patient has multiple injuries and
is not yet ready for a longer surgery to fix the fracture. An external fixator provides good,
temporary stability until the patient is healthy enough for the final surgery. In some cases,
an external fixator is left on until the femur is fully healed, but this is not common.
57
External fixation is often used to hold the bones together temporarily when the skin and
Intramedullary nailing. Currently, the method most surgeons use for treating femoral shaft fractures is
intramedullary nailing. During this procedure, a specially designed metal rod is inserted into the canal of
58
Intramedullary nailing provides strong, stable, full-length fixation.
An intramedullary nail can be inserted into the canal either at the hip or the knee.
Screws are placed above and below the fracture to hold the leg in correct alignment while the
bone heals.
Intramedullary nails are usually made of titanium. They come in various lengths and
diameters to fit most femur bones.
59
(Left) This x-ray, taken from the side, shows a transverse fracture of the femur. (Right) In this front
view x-ray, the fracture has been treated with intramedullary nailing.
Plates and screws. During this operation, the bone fragments are first
repositioned (reduced) into their normal alignment. They are held together with screws
and metal plates attached to the outer surface of the bone.
Plates and screws are often used when intramedullary nailing may not be possible, such as
for fractures that extend into either the hip or knee joints.
Recovery
Most femoral shaft fractures take 3 to 6 months to completely heal. Some take even longer,
especially if the fracture was open or broken into several pieces or if the patient uses tobacco
products.
60
Pain Management
Pain after an injury or surgery is a natural part of the healing process. Your doctor and
nurses will work to reduce your pain, which can help you recover faster.
Medications are often prescribed for short-term pain relief after surgery or an injury. Many
types of medications are available to help manage pain. These include acetaminophen,
nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), gabapentinoids, muscle relaxants, opioids,
and topical pain medications. Your doctor may use a combination of these medications to
improve pain relief, as well as minimize the need for opioids. Some pain medications may
have side effects that can impact your ability to drive and do other activities. Your doctor will
talk to you about the side effects of your pain medications.
Be aware that although opioids help relieve pain after surgery or an injury, they are a narcotic and
can be addictive. Opioid dependency and overdose has become a critical public health issue in the
U.S. It
is important to use opioids only as directed by your doctor. As soon as your pain begins to
improve, stop taking opioids. Talk to your doctor if your pain has not begun to improve
within a few days of your treatment.
Weightbearing
Many doctors encourage leg motion early on in the recovery period. It is very important to
follow your doctor's instructions for putting weight on your injured leg to avoid problems.
In some cases, doctors will allow patients to put as much weight as possible on the leg right
after surgery. However, you may not be able to put full weight on your leg until the fracture
has started to heal. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
When you begin walking, you will probably need to use crutches or a walker for support.
61
Physical Therapy
Because you will most likely lose muscle strength in the injured area, exercises during the
healing process are important. Physical therapy will help to restore normal muscle strength,
joint motion, and flexibility. It can also help you manage your pain after surgery.
A physical therapist will most likely begin teaching you specific exercises while you are
still in the hospital. The therapist will also help you learn how to use crutches or a walker.
Complications:
In addition to the risks of surgery in general, such as blood loss or problems related to anesthesia,
complications of surgery may include:
● Infection
● Injury to nerves and blood vessels
● Blood clots
● Fat embolism (bone marrow enters the blood stream and can travel to the lungs; this can also
happen from the fracture itself without surgery)
● Malalignment or the inability to correctly position the broken bone fragments
● Delayed union or nonunion (when the fracture heals slower than usual or not at all)

DIET COUNSELLING
Foods to be included:
Eat foods high in vitamin C to help absorb the iron that comes from plants such as spinach. For instance,
drink a glass of orange juice with an iron-fortified cereal. Good sources of vitamin C are oranges,
broccoli, tomatoes, kiwi, strawberries, peppers, potatoes and cabbage.
Summary. Eating nourishing foods after surgery can help your body recover, your wound heal, and
prevent constipation. Stick to whole foods with plenty of fiber, lean protein, whole grains, and fresh
fruits and vegetables. Be aware of foods that can cause constipation and avoid them.
Foods to be avoided:
But you must make sure your calories are obtained from complex carbohydrate such as whole grains,
starchy vegetables, and legumes. Avoid simple carbohydrates found in foods such as pastries, desserts,
cookies, candy, soda, and ice cream.
Eat up to 8 hours before surgery your scheduled arrival time. Eat light meals such as oatmeal or toast.
Do not eat foods that are heavy or high in fat such as meat or fried foods.

CASE STUDY: 4
THROMBOCYTOPENIA
Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which you have a low blood platelet count. Platelets
(thrombocytes) are colorless blood cells that help blood clot. Platelets stop bleeding by clumping and
forming plugs in blood vessel injuries.
Thrombocytopenia can be mild and cause few signs or symptoms. In rare cases, the
number of platelets can be so low that dangerous internal bleeding occurs. Treatment options are
available.
Symptoms
69
Thrombocytopenia signs and symptoms may include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have signs of thrombocytopenia that worry you.
Bleeding that won't stop is a medical emergency. Seek immediate help for bleeding that can't be controlled by
the usual first-aid techniques, such as applying pressure to the area.
Causes:
Thrombocytopenia means you have fewer than 150,000 platelets per microliter of circulating blood. Because
each platelet lives only about 10 days, your body normally renews your platelet supply continually by
producing new platelets in your bone marrow.
70
Thrombocytopenia rarely is inherited; or it can be caused by a number of medications or
conditions. Whatever the cause, circulating platelets are reduced by one or more of the following
processes: trapping of platelets in the spleen, decreased platelet production or increased destruction of
platelets.
Trapped platelets:
The spleen is a small organ about the size of your fist situated just below your rib cage on the left
side of your abdomen. Normally, your spleen works to fight infection and filter unwanted material from
your blood. An enlarged spleen — which can be caused by a number of disorders — can harbor too many
platelets, which decreases the number of platelets in circulation.
Decreased production of platelets:
Platelets are produced in your bone marrow. Factors that can decrease platelet production include:
● Leukemia and other cancers
● Some types of anemia
● Viral infections, such as hepatitis C or HIV
● Chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy
● Heavy alcohol consumption
● Pregnancy. Thrombocytopenia caused by pregnancy is usually mild and improves soon after
childbirth.
● Immune thrombocytopenia. Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, cause this
type. The body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys platelets. If the exact cause of this
condition isn't known, it's called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. This type more often affects
children.
● Bacteria in the blood. Severe bacterial infections involving the blood (bacteremia) can destroy
platelets.
● Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. This is a rare condition that occurs when small blood clots
suddenly form throughout your body, using up large numbers of platelets.
● Hemolytic uremic syndrome. This rare disorder causes a sharp drop in platelets, destruction of red
blood cells and impairs kidney function.
● Medications. Certain medications can reduce the number of platelets in your blood. Sometimes a drug
confuses the immune system and causes it to destroy platelets. Examples include heparin, quinine, sulfa-
containing antibiotics and anticonvulsants.
Complications:
Dangerous internal bleeding can occur when your platelet count falls below 10,000 platelets per
microliter. Though rare, severe thrombocytopenia can cause bleeding into the brain, which can be
fatal

• High calorie, high protein, high carbohydrates, low fat, high fluid, low fibre and bland diet is
suggested for typhoid fever.
• High calorie was met by including aloo paratha chapatti and ragi porridge and watermelon was
given.
• High protein was met by adding milk and curd.
• More amount pf fluid was suggested as the body gets dehydrates during fever.
DIETARY GUIDELINES: -
• As soon as the fever comes down, bland, low firer, soft diet, which is easily digested and
absorbed should be given to the patient.
• Well cooked, well mashed, sieved, bland, semisolid foods like khichdi, rice with curd, kheers
and custard may be given, bland, readily digested food affords physiologically rest to the
alimentary tract.
• In the beginning, small quantities of food at 2-3 hours interval will provide adequate nutrition
without overtaxing the digestive system at any one time.
• Have small frequent meals.
• High intake of carbohydrates which are easily digestible like soft rice, porridge and fruit
79
custard. Sufficient fluids like coconut water, lassi, fruit juices and glucose water.
• Light biscuits, breads and jams. thin vegetables soups and thin dhals can be had.
• Avoid spicy, fried foods, meats, butter and ghee.
• Avoid high fibre diet and whole grains.

CASE STUDY: 05
81
● Plaque is made up of deposits of cholesterol and other substances in the artery. Plaque
buildup causes the inside of the arteries to narrow over time, which can partially or totally
block the blood flow.
● Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a narrowing or blockage of your coronary arteries,
usually due to plaque buildup.
● Your coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart. Plaque buildup in these
arteries limits how much blood can reach your heart.
● Picture two traffic lanes that merge into one due to construction. Traffic keeps flowing, just
more slowly.
● With CAD, you might not notice anything is wrong until the plaque triggers a blood clot.
The blood clot is like a concrete barrier in the middle of the road. Traffic stops. Similarly,
blood can’t reach your heart, and this causes a heart attack.
● You might have CAD for many years and not have any symptoms until you experience a
heart attack. That’s why CAD is a “silent killer.”
● Other names for CAD include coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic heart disease.
It’s also what most people mean when they use the general term “heart disease.”
SYMPTOMS:
Symptoms of chronic CAD include:
● Stable angina: This is the most common symptom. Stable angina is temporary chest pain
or discomfort that comes and goes in a predictable pattern. You’ll usually notice it during
physical activity or emotional distress. It goes away when you rest or take nitroglycerin
(medicine that treats angina).
Shortness of breath (dyspnea): Some people feel short of breath during light physical
activity. Sometimes, the first symptom of CAD is a heart attack. Symptoms of a heart
attack include:
● Chest pain or discomfort (angina): Angina can range from mild discomfort to severe pain.
It may feel like heaviness, tightness, pressure, aching, burning, numbness, fullness,
squeezing or a dull ache. The discomfort may spread to your shoulder, arm, neck, back or
jaw.
● Shortness of breath or trouble breathing.
82
Heart palpitations.
● Feeling tired.
● Nausea, stomach discomfort or vomiting. This may feel like indigestion.
Weakness:
CAUSES
● Blood tests: Check for substances that harm your arteries or increase your risk of CAD.
● Cardiac catheterization: Inserts tubes into your coronary arteries to evaluate or confirm
CAD. This test is the gold standard for diagnosing CAD.
● Computed tomography (CT) coronary angiogram: Uses CT and contrast dye to view 3D
pictures of your heart as it moves. Detects blockages in your coronary arteries.
● Coronary calcium scan: Measures the amount of calcium in the walls of your coronary
arteries (a sign of atherosclerosis). This doesn’t determine if you have significant blockages,
but it does help determine your risk for CAD.
83
● Echocardiogram (echo): Uses sound waves to evaluate your heart’s structure and function.
● Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG): Records your heart’s electrical activity. Can detect
old or current heart attacks, ischemia and heart rhythm issues.
● Exercise stress test: Checks how your heart responds when it’s working very hard. Can
detect angina and blockages in your coronary arteries.
84
TREATMENT:
Some people need a procedure or surgery to manage coronary artery disease, including:
● Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): Another name for this procedure is coronary
angioplasty. It’s minimally invasive. Your provider uses a small balloon to reopen your
blocked artery and help blood flow through it better. Your provider may also insert a stent
to help your artery stay open.
85
● Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG): This surgery creates a new path for your blood
to flow around blockages. This “detour” restores blood flow to your heart. CABG helps
people who have severe blockages in several coronary arteries.
PROCEDURE:
● Coronary artery bypass surgery is major surgery that’s done in a hospital. Doctors trained in
heart surgery, called cardiovascular surgeons, do the surgery. Heart doctors, called
cardiologists, and a team of other providers help care for you.
● Before you go into the operating room, a health care provider inserts an IV into your
forearm or hand and gives you medicine called a sedative to help you relax.
When you are in the operating room, you can expect these things:
● Heart-lung machine: During surgery, a heart-lung machine keeps blood and oxygen
flowing through your body. This is called on-pump coronary bypass.
● Coronary artery bypass surgery usually takes about 3 to 6 hours. How long surgery takes
depends on how many arteries are blocked.
86
● A surgeon typically makes a long cut down the center of the chest along the breastbone.
The surgeon spreads open the rib cage to show the heart. After the chest is opened, the heart
is temporarily stopped with medicine. The heart-lung machine is turned on.
● The surgeon removes a section of healthy blood vessel, often from inside the chest wall or from
the lower leg. This piece of healthy tissue is called a graft. The surgeon attaches the ends of the
graft below the blocked heart artery. This creates a new pathway for blood to flow around a
blockage. More than one graft may be used during coronary artery bypass.
RISK FACTORS:
● Coronary artery bypass surgery is open-heart surgery. All surgeries have some risks.
Possible complications of coronary artery bypass surgery include:
● Bleeding.
● Death.
● Heart attack due to a blood clot after surgery.
● Infection at the site of the chest wound.
● Long-term need for a breathing machine.
● Irregular heart rhythms, called arrhythmias.
● Kidney problems.
● Memory loss or trouble thinking clearly, which often is temporary.
● Stroke
87
MEDICATION:
Medications can help you manage your risk factors plus treat symptoms of
coronary arterydisease. Your provider may prescribe one or more of the
medications listed below.
● Medications to lower your blood pressure.
● Medications to lower your cholesterol.
● Medications to manage stable angina these include nitroglycerin and ranolazine.
● Medications to reduce your risk of blood clots.

DIET COUNSELLING:
DIETARY MANAGEMENT:
● High protein, low fat, low, low carbohydrate with high minerals and vitamins are
suggested. High fiber diet with increased number of antioxidants is also
recommended.
● Good nutrition is important during recovery from coronary artery disease.
● Keep your weight within the normal range for your age and body frame.
● Reduce your salt intake to prevent fluid retention that may overload your heart and
cause it to work inefficiently.
DIETARY GUIDELINES:
● After the ptca the patient should know the energy requirement to maintain the healthy
body weight.
● The patient should eat a variety of foods rich in low fat, low saturated fat and low cholesterol.
● The trans-fat should be avoided.
● Vegetable oil rich in poly unsaturated fatty acid like sunflower and safflower oil can be
included with combination.
● Inclusion of fish in the diet is beneficial as they contain omega -3 fatty acids.
● Patient should take skimmed milk or low-fat milk. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables increase the antioxidant
content in the diet.
● Coffee and tea can be taken in moderate quantity; excess of caffeine can increase the heart
rate.
● Constipation should be prevented, so plenty of water and fiber rich foods are included in the
diet.
94
o Egg whites can be given 3-4 in number per day as they contain proteins in it. Egg
yolks contain cholesterol so egg yolks should be restricted to 2-3 per week.
o Five servings of fruits and vegetables should be included in the diet not only to meet
the requirements but also, they are rich in antioxidants and fiber.
o If the patient has hypertension, then sodium should be restricted.
o Patients should avoid tasking preserved foods.
