I feel that tube feedings‚ while okay for short term use are fine‚ but they should not be used as a form of long term care because the risks outweigh the benefits of having a feeding tube. A tube feeding is a medical procedure that people can accept or deny. Feeding tubes provide a chemically balanced mix of nutrients and fluid to those who are unable to swallow‚ eat‚ or drink enough nutrition

The Effect of Osmosis on Potatoes/ Diffusion of Molecules through Benedicts Test of Dialysis dubing Introduction The focus of the lab on September 16‚ 2013 was Diffusion and Osmosis. Osmosis is a process in which the molecules of a solvent diffuse from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration‚ through a semipermeable membrane. Small solute molecules and water molecules can move freely through a selectively permeable membrane‚ but large molecules may pass through more

There are two devices that are most commonly used and each device has specific indications and contraindication. 2 Research question This study was done to answer the following question: Are licensed practitioner’s beliefs about airways (oral ET-tube and LMA) consistent with the current printed information and do they report using the airways in a similar manner? To answer this question‚ we first needed to know what practices the current published studies have suggested will have better out-comes

endotracheal tube you will prefer RAE‚ flexomettalic or mcintosh? What are the problems associated with these tubes? Ans- Ideal ET Tube is south facing RAE (Ring Adair Elwin) tube fixed in center over the lower lip. RAE Endotracheal Tubes are designed to conveniently position the anesthesia circuit out of the surgical field. Problem- Difficult to pass Suction catheter. Fixed curvature hence more chances of endobronchial intubation or inadvertent extubation. Flexometallic tubes- Inner diameter of tube decreases

only 4 miles long (6.5 kilometers) running from the west of London to the city in the east. It was not very deep and steam trains were used. Then deeper tunnels were built and in 1890 the electric railway was opened. Londoners called this system the Tube and it is still a very popular name for the London Underground. Some deep stations of the London Underground were used for protection of people during the Second World War. A great number of people use the underground system every day because it connects

Cathode ray tube is used for producing images‚ when an electron beam hits the surface made out of a phosphorescent‚ and the cathode ray tube is basically a vacuum tube. An example of a cathode ray tube is a computer desktop and the picture tubes in television are similar to the cathode ray tube in television. There are numerous components of cathode ray tube‚ which are the Electron gun‚ Anodes‚ Coil‚ Phosphor-coated screen‚ electronic beam and the spot through which the beam passes through. In a
