Autoclaving is the most common method, it uses steam under pressure to sterilize instruments and is the most reliable method. When sterile or disinfected items are required in the care setting single use, disposable items are recommended. 2.2 Describe how and when cleaning agents are used Cleaning agents are substances which are used to remove dirt, dust, stains and bad smells from surfaces. The purpose of these in the care setting is to avoid the spread of dirt and contaminants. There are many different cleaning agents which will be used in different places and circumstances.
TCB is relatively similar to Chlorobenzene in regards of being an essential part in the production of dye. TBC is also used as a dielectric fluid in transformers, and at one time used to kill termites (DHSS, 2010). Individuals who ingest drinking water containing TBC can be exposed to side effects such as neurological issues including nervousness, restlessness and/or weakness. Serious more critical side effects may also occur such as tremors, increased heart rate or blood pressure, digestive issues, weight loss, as well as headaches (DHSS, 2010). Individuals working at Ciba- Geigy Corporation may be been exposed to TBC by breathing since levels or exposure are highest where the chemical is made or used.
Tanker Test 1.) Hauling liquids in tankers requires special care for two reasons. One reason is the _______ center of gravity that tankers have.-High. 2.) You need to be extremely cautious when driving smooth bore tankers.
There are cilia in her trachea that is moving mucus up from the lungs. When the mucus becomes abundant it triggers the cough reflex. C. There are macrophages found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli that normally would protect Cari’s lungs from infectious pathogens and particulate matter. D. The excess mucus and fluid in the lungs would raise the resistance of Cari’s airways because of the small diameter the buildup would cause. The fluid would have some of the alveoli under water where they could not function properly and there would also be more friction from the buildup.
The cough reflex has both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) components. Pulmonary irritant receptors (cough receptors) in the epithelium of the respiratory tract are sensitive to both mechanical and chemical stimuli. Stimulation of the cough receptors by dust or other foreign particles produces a cough, which is necessary to remove the foreign material from the respiratory tract before it reaches the lungs. A long drawn and deep inhalation followed by a complete closure of the glottis, which results in a strong exhalation that suddenly punches the glottis open and sends a blast of air through the upper respiratory passages. C) Which structures found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli normally would protect Cari’s lungs from infectious pathogens and particulate matter?
Cortisol is secreted by the adrenal glands under regulation by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Since the word is well understood, the following paragraphs will discuss the diagnoses, the causes, and the treatments of Cushing’s syndrome. Many factors can contribute to Cushing’s syndrome; such as adrenal gland diseases; whereas the adrenal glands make too many cells and make them grow larger than normal because, also lung cancer may also make ACTH, causing the adrenal gland to make too much cortisol. This condition is also known as ectopic ATCH syndrome. In the pituitary gland tumors, there are small, benign (non cancerous) tumors in the pituitary gland which make too much ACTH, leading to too much cortisol.
A normal blood pressure is lower than 120/80 mmHg most of the time and when you have high blood pressure the measurements are at least 140/90 or higher the majority of the time. The cardiovascular system is affected by hypertension. The heart acts as a pump and forces blood into the arteries while the arteries are resisting the blood flow. (Medline Plus, 2013). The body has a special mechanism called homeostasis that’s responsible for maintaining internal stable conditions inside the body.
Alot of the masks contain center ventilation orifice allowing easy air exchange and helps prevent buildup of CO2(the thick smoke created by fire). To help improve the protection of the masks extensive test can be done on the masks to ensure that the firemans health is protected. according to Marshall Brain, "The problem with air-purifying respirators is that any leak in the mask makes them ineffective. The leak could come from a poor fit between the mask and the user's face, or from a crack or hole somewhere on the mask"( Brain, Marshall How Gas Masks Work, http://science.howstuffworks.com/gas-mask1.htm). During fire fighting anything can happen to your equipment or even the equipment you are
Furthermore, the influx of chemicals brought deep into the ground for extraction purposes have mixed with ground water, leading to lethal contamination of local drinking water. Amongst these results, fracking often yields high amounts of methane gases to the atmosphere. If fracking continues at high rates it will evidently threaten local habitats while also contaminating ground waters and while polluting
One of the most common causes of hyperventilating is high levels of oxygen in the blood. The sole purpose of breathing into a bag is to “re-breathe” the exhaled carbon dioxide to regulate the normal concentration of oxygen to carbon dioxide in the blood. Conclude and apply 3. Based on your results, what effects would you expect to see on workers in a crowded, poorly – ventilated office building? Explain your answer with reference to the process of
