CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is a lifesaving technique that greatly increases the survival rate of cardiac arrest victims. It is a rescue and lifesaving technique that each individual should know. When a victim is in cardiac arrest emergency, if you have to stop to ask how to perform CPR, you lose precious time in a situation where every second counts. When a person’s heart stops and they are not breathing, they have less than eight minutes before they begin to suffer brain damage and die.
Variable : Control - Water, 1000cc Independent - Dry ice amount, 1-10 Dependent - Temperature Background Information: Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, Co2, which can make lots of fascinating experiment. The temperature is around -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Which is good for keeping things cold, for example to keep box of ice cream cold. Dry ice is sublime faster in water rather than air. It was because the water transfers heat much more quickly to the surrounding.
Today, we know that cold also changes how fast the nerves send messages. It lowers the metabolic rate and blood flow in the treated area, and it relaxes the muscles. There are many ways to apply cold to an injury. Some use a simple cold pack, others apply ice directly to the area in a circular motion called "ice massage". (Ingraham 2007) Athletic trainers and physical therapists may recommend an ice bath.
Cellular damage is distributed over a spectrum of injury. The capillaries become thromboses. Increase capillary permeability and fluid from interstitial leakage, are maximal 8 to 36 hours and the tissue become Oedematous. Some cells may survive if rapid and appropriate intervention is provided in the pre hospital setting. Consequences of edema include pulmonary vascular injury, pulmonary interstitial edema, intra-alveolar hemorrhage, red blood cell destruction and intravascular hemolytic.
Understanding the risk for falls for people with Parkinson’s disease and use of appropriate fall interventions as delineated in The American Geriatrics Society AGS/BGS Clinical Practice Guideline: Prevention of Falls in Older Persons can help maintain the functional ability, increased independence and overall quality of life. Decreasing the Risk of Falls in the Patient with Parkinson’s Disease The leading cause of injury in the older adult is from falls, 30% of adults age sixty five and older fall at least one time per year and this number increases strongly with age.1 77% of people with Parkinson’s disease will experience a fall.2 They are twice as likely to experience recurrent falls compared to other elderly people.3 The purpose of this manuscript is to address fall risk and prevention in people with Parkinson’s disease to maintain or improve functional ability and quality of life. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that develops gradually and affects movement. These changes can affect balance and posture as well which increase the risk of falls. According to Canning and his
“Teach the patient and family the symptoms of infection that should be promptly reported to a primary medical caregiver” (Ackley & Ladwig, 2011, pg. 495). Electrolyte balance should be watch closely in a patient with acute renal failure. Urden, Stacy, and Lough, 2012 state: Electrolyte levels require frequent observation, especially in the critical phase of AKI. Potassium may quickly reach levels of 6.0 mEq/L or higher.
They work best at room temperature around 36-40 C. Introduction For this experiment, I will be looking at how the change in temperature affects the rate of reaction. If the temperature is too high or too low in the water bath the enzymes active site will denature. The best temperature is 37 degrees because this is the natural body temperature which is also called the optimum temperature so the reaction will take place faster. Method * Firstly you have to label a test tube with the temperature that you will be investigating. * Secondly you have to add five drops of phenolphthalein the test tube which you are using.
Methlyene chloride was a good solvent in this case because its boiling point is 40 degrees C and will boil off before the trimyristin which has a boiling point of 56-57 degrees C. Finally acetone was added to wash the crystals and the solution was vacuum filtered. This process was repeated and the trimyristin was collected. Results: Experimental yield of trimyristin= .64g Experimental melting point of trimyristin= 59 degrees C Percentage yield = experimental-truex100 True Dicussion: The extraction of trimystrin left white crystals resembling a powder. Its melting point was 56 degrees C which was exactly the recorded value. However, given that
For all sterilising equipment, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Cold water sterilisers need the solution changing every 24 hours, and feeding equipment needs to be left submerged for 30 minutes before it can be used. Make sure there are no trapped air bubbles in the bottles or teats, as this means these areas won’t be sterilized. Ensure all the equipment is kept under the water with a floating cover. When using a steam sterilizer, make sure that the teats and bottles are facing down, so that the steam goes up into them when the water heats up.
Some of which can result in serious morbidity and death. SHOT (2004) reported that of the main bulk of errors, 80%, can be put down to human error. And 42% of those errors occur when collecting and checking blood at the bedside. Safe but not without risk Following the 2004 SHOT report, the RCN (2005) produced Right blood, Right patient Right Time, a set of guidelines for improving transfusion practice. More recently the United Kingdom Blood Service has produced national guidelines in Handbook of Transfusion Medicine (2007).
