Alterations in various electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium can have a significant impact on the electrical activity of the heart and in some situations can lead to lethal arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia and torsade de pointe or can potentiate cardiac rhythms that can lead to cardiac arrest such as changes in the QT interval. 

Preparedness is not a new concept for hospitals and health systems, and it goes far beyond the walls of the hospital itself. Hospitals and health systems prepare for multiple different types of mass casualty incidents, including public health emergencies. 

Pressure ulcers, decubitus ulcers, or bedsores are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue that can develop over hours or even days. These ulcers occur when bony areas of the body have prolonged contact with an external surface, such as a bed, causing pressure and decreased blood flow to the area, leading to necrosis of the skin. Even though pressure ulcers are adverse events that are considered avoidable or preventable, they continue to be a problem. ViSi Mobile can help.
