What is the purpose of the aqualung?
An aqualung is comprised of two parts - the tank, and then regulator.The tank simply contains highly compressed gas. The regulator reduces the pressure of that gas to a level which is breathable by the diver for a particular depth.In a normal Aluminium diving cylinder, the breathing gas (usually plain air) will be compressed to about 3,000 PSI (200 bar).The regulator has two stages, the first stage (the bit that gets attached to the tank), and the second stage (the bit that the diver puts in her mouth). The first stage will reduce the air pressure coming from the tank from 3,000 PSI down to about 300 PSI (20 bar). This air then flows down the hose to the second stage. The second stage then reduces the pressure from 300 PSI to the ambient pressure at the diver's depth (the deeper a diver goes, the greater the ambient pressure). Accordingly, no matter how deep a diver goes, the air will be delivered as pressure which enables her to breathe normally despite the water pressure on her body.The regulator works by way of a demand valve. When the diver inhales, that lowers the pressure in the second stage housing. This opens the demand valve, and higher pressure air flows in from system. Once the air pressure in the house is restored to equilibrium, the demand valve closes.If the regulator starts to malfunction, it can either deliver air at too low a pressure (so it will become hard to breathe) or too high a pressure (the regulator will "free flow" with bubble coming out).
Can a nurse determine the stage of a decubitus ulcer?
Nurses are more than capable of determining the stage of a decubitus ulcer.Skin integrity and maintenance is part of their training.NB: A decubitus ulcer, also known as a pressure sore.
How does a three stage compressor work?
There are several kinds of compressors--reciprocating, screw, centrifugal. We'll use a reciprocating compressor in this example. It's got a piston moving back and forth in a cylinder to compress the air. (It's like a car engine, and you can get a kit to turn an old Volkswagen engine into a compressor.) This assembly is called a stage. The cheapest compressors are single-stage units--they have one piston and cylinder. The air from the atmosphere is sucked into the assembly, compressed then sent to the tank. Next come two-stage compressors, which have a low-pressure stage and a high-pressure stage. The air from the first stage is compressed again by the second stage, which gives more pressure with less stress on the unit. It's easier on the compressor to take air from 2 atmospheres to 4 than it is to go from 1 atmosphere to 4. A three-stage compressor takes this doubly compressed air and compresses it again, and a four-stage compressor has a fourth compression step. Most of the people who buy three-stage compressors fill diving tanks with them--you need to be able to make 5000 psi to fill a diving tank, and three-stage compressors are good for that.
What is axial velocity?
Axial velocity is the high pressures created by the pressure built up in a compressor. In a multi stage compressor this is usually very small.

What is the icd 9 code for oral ulcers?
An ischial ulcer is a medical condition (disease)that requires an ICD-9 code; not a CPT code, which is used for medical procedures.707.04 (pressure ulcer, hip)707.20 (pressure ulcer, unspecified stage) ** An additional code is required to identify the stage of the pressure ulcer (707.20-707.25).
How does the rosenbauer nh30 pump work?

What is compression ratio in air compressor?
The compression ratio is simply the ratio of the absolute stage discharge pressure to the absolute stage suction pressure.

Describe the stages of development of decubitus ulcer?
stage one is an area of skin over a pressure site bony prominence on the body...when touched the skin does not Blanch . stage two is an area of skin over a pressure site, bony prominence on the body...that the top layer of skin is broken. stage three is same as a two but goes deeper into the dermis and fat. stage four is same as three but involves the muscle/tendons/bone. unstageable= wound can not be assesed due to exudate or overlying necrosis
