Intentional hypothermia Controlled hypothermia plays important role in reducing the oxygen consumption by the body. This step used with Jehovah’s Witnesses since they reject the transfusion. As the body temperature reduced by 5-7°C‚ the oxygen consumption reduced as well by 48% beneath the basic levels and increased in the blood. However‚ the reduction in body temperature below 30°C requires the clinician to monitor the patient to make sure that the patient did not suffer from hypothermia. Even though

Induced hypothermia works by reducing the body’s core temperature between 32 degrees Celsius to 34 degrees Celsius. Studies have shown that by decreasing the core

Electrical Safety in the Perioperative Environment There are numerous ways electricity is employed in the operating room environment‚ such as X-ray machines‚ electrosurgical units‚ monitors‚ surgical table and lights‚ endoscopic cameras and monitors‚ lasers‚ and robotics. Each piece of machinery comes with certain safety precautions when using them in the perioperative environment. Since almost all injuries in the OR result in human error‚ it is important to follow these precautions to ensure

Communication requires a sender‚ a message and an intended recipient‚ although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender’s intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality

Therapeutic Hypothermia for Cardiac Arrest Jaime Bromley Jefferson College of Health Sciences Hypothermia is a decrease in the core temperature below 35 degrees Celsius or 95 degrees Fahrenheit. There are various medical uses for hypothermia. Therapeutic hypothermia is the only proven effective treatment for post cardiac arrest patients. Hypothermia decreases the amount of cerebral oxygen needed and also lessens the inflammatory response post cardiac arrest. This prevents brain damage and death

Given your symptoms‚ you suffered from severe hypothermia. You are suffering from this condition as you were exposed to cold temperatures for a sustained amount of time. The human body works to maintain homeostasis‚ which is where the internal temperature of the body is kept in narrow limits. The human body must be kept within a certain range of temperatures. If the temperature of the body goes outside of this range‚ there is a system in body called the negative feedback system‚ which is where the

Whilst reading “The Treatment of Shock from Prolonged Exposure to Cold‚ Especially in Water” (Alexander‚ 1945)‚ I noticed both strengths and limitations of the Dachau hypothermia study. The weaknesses of this experiment include validity‚ a lack of supporting literature‚ reporting‚ quality control‚ and cost-benefit analysis. The strengths of the study include the relevance and there was no bias. The two weaknesses that are most prominent are the validity and supporting literature. The validity of

In this article it discusses the facts and results of using hypothermic therapy in a post cardiac patient. It also explains that in trials done
