What else can I help you with?
Why are IV bags always hung above the patient?
The IV bag is suspended above the patient to allow the fluid to be gravity fed .
What are six reasons for Thoracentesis?
Diagnostic to get specimen of fluid for culture and cytology Therapeutic to take out fluid if effusion compromising breathing Therapeutic to instill medicine in the chest cavity Therapeutic to expand the lung in case of pneumothorax Therapeutic to remove blood after chest traumas Post operatively after cardio-thoracic surgery to drain out blood and fluid and to expand the lungs
What is the CPT code for therapeutic amniocentesis with amniotic fluid reduction?
59001
When do you record fluid intake on a patient?
when the fluids are served to the patient
Why fluid level is horizontal?
gravity
What is hydostatic pressure?
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium due to the force of gravity. It is determined by the density of the fluid, the acceleration due to gravity, and the depth of the fluid. The pressure increases with depth in a fluid column.
Is a spinal tap illegal in Virginia?
No, a spinal tap (or lumbar puncture) is not illegal in Virginia. It is a medical procedure performed by healthcare professionals for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes with the patient's consent. It is commonly used to collect cerebrospinal fluid for testing or to administer medications.
What parts of the body get inflamed and filled with fluid when a patient has pneumonia?
The lungs fill with fluid, and patient usually runs a temperature, and feels chills, then sweats.
How much fluid in one kilogram?
One kilogram of fluid. The volume of fluid will depend on its density or specific gravity.
Can you hang ten on a gravity wave?
not sure Gravity waves are generated in a fluid medium, explained more fully in Fluid Dynamics. An example of a gravity wave would be this: throw a stone into a pond. The ripples that emanate from the center are gravity waves; up and down motion of that fluid. So to answer your question, yes but that would depend on which fluid you are referring to and whether you have the ability to ride the wave.
Does specific gravity affect hydrostatic pressure?
Yes, specific gravity does affect hydrostatic pressure. The hydrostatic pressure exerted by a fluid is directly proportional to the specific gravity of the fluid. A fluid with higher specific gravity will exert greater hydrostatic pressure at a given depth compared to a fluid with lower specific gravity.
How does upthrust and gravity compare in size?
Upthrust is a force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object placed in the fluid. Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other. The size of upthrust and gravity can vary depending on factors such as the density of the fluid and the mass of the object, but in general, gravity is typically stronger than upthrust.
