Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever

General Objectives: • The ultimate purpose of this study is to refresh the learned concepts about dengue hemorrhagic fever and to develop the understanding on the particular disease in accordance with further research and presentation based on the patients situation.

Specific Objectives: This case presentation seeks to provide different information about the disease to be presented and about the client being considered with the following specific objectives: • Give a brief introduction about Dengue hemorrhagic fever together with its signs and symptoms. • Discuss the theoretical framework that is related to the client’s condition. • Present the client’s demographic data and health history with its Gordon’s pattern of functioning.

• Present the abnormal results of the Physical Assessment made on the client. • Present the different laboratory results or test done to the client with its interpretation. • Discuss the normal Anatomy and Physiology of the Blood. • Explain the Pathophysiology of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever • Discuss the drugs prescribed to the client by a Drug Study. • Present an appropriate Nursing Care Plan for the most prioritized problem. • Give a Discharge Plan that the client may use upon discharge to the hospital

Introduction: Dengue hemorrhagic fever is an acute febrile diseases found in tropics.It is a complication of Dengue fever with hemorrhages. It is characterized by abnormal vascular permeability, hypovolemia and abnormal blood clotting mechanism. The Dengue virus type 1,2,3,4, along with other arboviruse which are chikungunya, O’ nyong-nyong, west nile and flavi virus are classified as the causative agents. The vector responsible for the transmission of the virus is the domestic, day- biting mosquito known as the Aedes aegypti.The vector responsible for the transmission of the virus is the domestic, day-biting mosquito known as the Aedes aegypti.

Clinical manifestations according to its grade are persistent high fever, complains of pain, nausea and vomiting, and pathological vascular changes which is classified as Grade I, Grade II is persistence of signs and symptoms of Grade I with bleeding while Grade III has additional signs of circulatory failure and Grade IV with signs and symptoms of hypovolemic shock that can lead to death. Diagnostic test used to determine DHF are Rumpel leads test otherwise known as Tourniquet test and platelet count test that is shown in hematology examination.Treatment is mainly symptomatic and supportive.

Theoretical Framework: Nightingale's core nursing theory has an environmental focus: It was her belief that the environment is an alterable medium that can be used to improve the conditions of Nature and encourage healing. Ventilation, clean air, clean water, control of noise, provision for light, and Adequate waste management are just a some of the elements She believed could be Monitored and improved when necessary.

Nightingale’s theory addresses the prevention of occurrences of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. In facilitating proper environmental sanitation we can achieve a surroundings with no presence of any vector that cause its transmission as they can no longer exist if the environment is not suited for their survival hence decreasing the morbidity rate of Dengue in our country. We should be knowledgeable on how to keep our surroundings free from any breeding sites that could serve as a reservoir for the mosquito. As a nurse we should teach our clients how to do proper water storage and environmental sanitation so as to prevent disease occurrence and recurrence.

The result of hematology examination has a normal hemoglobin count as well as the hematocrit. On the other hand the platelet or the thrombocyte is way below the normal value which indicates thrombocytopenia while the leukocytes or the white blood cell increase which shows that there’s an infection present.

ANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY: BLOOD Blood- a connective tissue composed of a liquid extracellular matrix called blood plasma that dissolves and suspends various cells and cell fragments. 1 - Formed elements: • Red blood cells (or erythrocytes) • White blood cells (or leucocytes) • Platelets (or thrombocytes) 2 - Plasma = water + dissolved solutes

Characteristics of Blood: • • • • • • •

bright red dark red/purplish much more dense than pure water pH range from 7.35 to 7.45 slightly warmer than body temperature typical volume in an adult is 5 liters 8% of body weight

Major Functions of Blood: • Distribution & Transport • Regulation (maintenance of homeostasis) • Protection

Formed elements RBC • biconcave disk shape • a hemoglobin carrier • anucleate • No mitochondria • 120 lifespan • erythropoietin is the hormone that stimulates RBC production

Erythropoiesis

RBC enters the circulation

Blood pass through the lungs And gas exchange occurs

Gas Exchange through tissues

RBC circulates for 120 days

WBC or Leukocytes: •

• •

protection from microbes, parasites, toxins, cancer 1% of blood volume; 411,000 per cubic mm blood amoeboid motion chemotaxis

•

leukocytosis

• •

leukopoiesis Colony stimulating Factors and interleukinsstimulates white blood cell formation

•

Types of White Blood Cells

Platelets • formed in the bone marrow from cells called megakaryocytes • very small, 2-4 microns in diameter • approximately 250500,000 per cubic millimeter • essential for clotting of damaged vasculature • Thrombopoietin stimulates the production

damage to endothelium of vessel

Platelet Plug Formation

platelets adhesion

Platelets release reaction

platelets aggregation

Pathophysiology

Poor environmental sanitation

Mosquito bites a susceptible host

Virus multiply in the bloodstream

Creates multiple lesion in the blood stream

Increase capillary fragility

Hemorrhagic manifestations

Excessive consumption of platelets

Thrombocytopenia

Increase vascular permeability

Leakage of plasma

Pleural Effusion

Increased phagocytic activity
