INTRODUCTION
Pharmacology is based on the branch of medicine and pharmaceutical sciences which are
concerned with study of drugs, medication action where a drug will be broadly or narrowly
defined as any natural, man-made. On the other hand, Pathophysiology is defined as functional
perspectives which comprehensive guide for health care practitioners, identifying the different
core factors responsible for health disease.
Brief description of the patient and presenting history
In this report, it is basically explaining the patient, who are admitted and treated in ICU
department. Mr. ABC is patient. This case study will discuss the A-E assessment of Mrs ABC,
physiology and pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF). Generally, it is focused on the
medication, patient received to treat the AF as such Amiodarone, bisoprolol and anticoagulation.
Mrs ABC is a 67 years old lady and admitted in the hospital for intensive healthcare due to
cardiac arrest, metabolic acidosis (Ashelford, Raynsford and Taylor, 2019). Initially, she was
suffering from unusual health condition such as vomiting, septic shower, and diarrhea.
According to the given case study, it has been identified the medical history of patient, type
2 diabetes Mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD). At the time of admission, patient was
successfully intubated at the time of cardiac arrest, its invasive line related venous catheter and
arterial was completely inserted. In past years, Mrs. ABC has been increasingly haemoglobin in
which indicate as condition of anemia. These can reduce the low blood cell mass approximately
12.0g/dL.
Rationale for patient choice
The rationale of this study is to identify the major causes among old age people. That’s why,
it has been chosen as Mrs. ABC old women, who have already face certain kind of poor health
condition or situation. Therefore, this study has represented the significant of investigation
related the chosen patient, it does not matter whether patient become women, men.

Identify the drugs
As per given study, it has been identified that professional can choice the better drug for Mrs.
ABC during cardiac arrest. It involves:
 Bisoprolol
 Enoxaparin
 Antiarrhythmic drugs
 Intravenous IV drug
Confidentiality throughout the case study
According to study, it must ensure that confidentiality plays important role in which
provide the better facilities and service of Mrs. ABC pseudonym name given to her protect their
privacy and confidently in accordance with NMC (Athauda and et.al., 2020). This case study will
support for identifying the current situation or condition of patient. Therefore, professionals and
hospital staff members are examined the past medical history of Mrs. ABC, trying to protect
their personal information or data.
MAIN BODY
Anatomy, Physiology and pathophysiology
Identify the normal anatomy and physiology of body system for patient and presented problems
with.
According to the case study, Anatomy is based on the structures, layout associated with human
body. Physiology is defined the function of each of structure and often thought of as complicated
machine. In order to machine works and must have all of its parts but addition each of different
parts must function optimally (Chen and et.al., 2019). As per evaluation, it has been identified
that patient during a cardiac arrest is not yet clear, there are not enough high quality studies on
the particular subject.
At the heat of all kind of health career in which establishing a relationship between health
care provider and her patient. Unless they are coming for annual basis, come to the current health
condition of individual people. Therefore, it is identifying the organ system which is not
functioning properly in their body. Sometimes, health care provider is treating the Mrs ABC and
understand their current body functions. This is main purpose of pre-requisite anatomy and
physiology courses at the time of cardiac arrest. Through this way, it can be identified the disease
situation or condition during A&P lectures but the purpose of discussion of medical consultant
