Explicit Memory Under General Anesthesia
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page research paper that offers a literature review on the incidence of explicit memory awareness during general anesthesia. Prior to the advent of anesthesia, the excruciating pain involved in surgery put patients into a state of shock that often proved fatal. In a small, rare number of cases, for reasons that remain obscure despite numerous studies, some patients do not fall into an oblivious state of unconsciousness. Sometimes they are aware of their surroundings, and sometimes they are even aware of experiencing pain. This review of literature on this topic shows that, despite the vast empirical research that has been done on this topic, there is still much that needs to be discerned. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Factors Relating to Canadian Dental Service Utilization and Access
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing factors relating to dental service utilization in Canada. While Canadians enjoy a universal health care system regulated by the Canada Health Act, dental care (except for dental surgery in hospitals) is not covered by the network of territorial and provincial health insurance plans. Because of this lack of free coverage, financial barriers are often those which prevent utilization of dental services in Canada. However, financial barriers are not the only factors preventing access to dental services. Various studies have found that dental care utilization is also affected by health and illness factors especially in the growing senior population, reluctance to seek out new dental professionals, regional access, regional and cultural beliefs regarding dentistry as preventative and not necessary care, in addition to language and cultural barriers. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Family Attendance in Emergency Medical Situations
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page discussion of the ethical and medical reasons for either allowing or excluding family members during certain emergency medical situations. Emphasizes that the decision as to whether or not to allow family member attendance is really dependent on the family and the patient. While some family members obviously provide a needed support structure for the patient, and thus are beneficial in terms of their overall welfare; other family members can be more of a liability or interference in certain medical situations. Assessing which category a family member falls into becomes the responsibility of medical personnel. In no event, however, should a family member be isolated from a patient simply based on blanket organizational policy. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
