Once recognized purchase 2mg detrol mastercard, the pri- mary goal of the clinician is to identify the cause and treat the underlying condition generic detrol 2 mg mastercard. To simplify the multitude of causes, renal failure is usually divided into prerenal, renal, and postrenal causes. Nephrotoxic medications, ischemia), intravascular volume depletion, and congestive heart failure are the most common causes of renal failure in the ICU patient. The following outline describes the general approach to the problem of oliguria or anuria in an ICU patient. Hypotension with or without associated tachycardia can be a sign of hypo- volemia, indicating prerenal causes of oliguria. Fluid overload often manifests itself as pulmonary edema, often heard when auscultating the chest. Low urine output may result from postrenal obstruction, which may be manifest as bladder distention, palpable on examination. A distended abdomen may indicate ileus with associ- ated fluid sequestration in the bowel. After obstruction has been ruled out, failure to respond to these measures with in- creased urine flow most likely indicates an intrinsic renal cause of azotemia. As a general approach, daily intake and output should be closely re- viewed, and daily weights are very useful. Many clinicians remove potassium from the IV fluids immediately in cases of renal failure to prevent accumulation of deadly potassium levels. Optimize hemodynamic status to maximize cardiac output and, hence, renal perfusion. Once you are sure that fluid status is optimal and urine output is still suboptimal, use low-dose dopamine (2–5 mg/kg/min) to dilate the renal vessels. If the patient is fluid-overloaded, use furosemide in increasing doses to diurese fluid. Check the Foley catheter for patency, replacing it immediately if there is any question.

Critical aspects of the interventions described in these case reports included practice of the TM technique cheap 2mg detrol mastercard, panchakarma techniques 1mg detrol for sale, herbal rasayanas and the use of Vedic sounds. A pilot study has also provided evidence of a reduction in carotid atherosclerosis associated with the 48 multimodality approach of MVM along with standard care. Controlled studies comparing this approach to standard allo-pathic care alone should be forthcoming. Beyond the treatment of neurological illness, MVM and the TM technique in particular show great promise for promoting an ideal state of neurological health. This is underscored by the data on improved psychological well-being, cognition and creativity 13,14,49–54 associated with the practice of TM, and the evidence for incorporation of the 55,56 state of pure awareness in the waking, dreaming and sleep states of consciousness. CONCLUSION A Vedic approach to neurological health encompasses the techniques described in the Vedic literature, which allow for the full expression of the unbounded, unified field at the basis of human physiology. This unified field has been identified on the level of the mind as pure consciousness, and the experience of pure consciousness afforded by the TM technique is the cornerstone of Vedic medicine. Techniques of diagnosis and therapeutics prescribed in ayurvedic texts are based on an understanding of the expression of the unified field in the physiology as governed by the doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha. In addition, an understanding of the Vedic literature as a blueprint for physiology opens the door to the application of Vedic sound as a therapeutic approach to disorders of the nervous system. Well-controlled studies have revealed the usefulness of both the TM technique and ayurvedic herbal preparations for health maintenance in general and for prevention of vascular disease in particular.
