Can you put an iv in foot for ct scan of chest?
It is possible in cases where there are no other available veins but the timing of the scan would have to be adjusted to allow for the additional time it would take the dye to reach the chest. It is not an ideal solution and should generally be avoided.

How is a defibrillator used?
A defibrillator is primarily used for two conditions, Ventricular Fibrillation (V-Fib) and Ventricular Tachycardia (V-Tach). V-Fib is when the heart basically twitches and V-Tach is when it beats too fast to actually move blood. A defibrillator will NOT work if there is no electrical rhythm. If the heart is not beating and has no electrical activity at all (Asystole) then contrary to what happens in the movies, using a defibrillator would be pointless. In this situation, the only thing that can possibly "bring the patient back" is full life-support and cardiac drugs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Few opportunities to "bring back" one who has died are as time sensitive as defibrillation. With trauma we have the golden hour. In the best EMS systems in the US with the fastest response times the save rate for out of hospital cardiac arrest is only 2%-15%. We are making some major changes for the better the last 2 years with the advent of Public Access Defibrillators, Hands Only CPR, and cerebral resusitation such as rapid cooling and induced comas in the hospital. We need to get a patient in Sudden Cardiac Arrest defibrillated in 1 to 3 minutes for a 70%-90% resusitation rate. Waiting the 8 minutes average response time for first responders equates to a 20% save rate or less. Any time a patient is not breathing and appears to be dead ( with few exceptions that it would not be appropriate to go into here) you should apply the AED as soon as possible. Do not delay CPR to wait for the AED but immediatly on arrival of the AED stop CPR as the pads are ready to be applied. If the arrest is witnessed ( if they have been down less then 5 minutes) immediatly allow the AED to analize the rhythm and follow it's instructions. If there will be a delay in arrival of the AED begin rapid compressions without breathing stopping when the AED has arrived and the pads are ready to be placed. If you have oxygen available put them on high flow oxygen with a nonrebreathing mask, air will be moved as in breathing as you compress and allow the chest to expand, after all, that is how you are breathing as you read this. If you do not know how long the patient has been down but it is likely more then 5 minutes do 200 compressions prior to applying the AED then follow it's instructions. If you are not currently certified in AED but have been trained in the past most States include you in the Good Samaritan limited immunity statutes. If nobody is using the AED then you should use it. The machine is so smart and so fail-safe that 6th graders with minimal training have demonstrated they can effectivly and safely use it. An AED can not shock a patient who is breathing and is not in a cardiac rhythm that requires a rapid shock to survive. No matter what you do or how many times you push the button you CAN NOT shock a patient who's life does not depend on you doing so. You do NOT have time to wait for Fire/EMS/PD to arrive, if you see or know there is an AED there and the patient is not breathing turn it on, follow the instructions given regardless of if your training is current or not.

Can a landlord limit how many times a year a tenant cleans or shampoos the carpet?
I believe that the renter of the apartment should be told before the transaction if there is a limit. if not, i dont think so. of course, they could always evict people, but, i feel that it is very unreasonable for one to put a limit on how many times oyu clean your carpet YEARLY. I understand if one is cleaning it every single day because that could upset the people on the floor below, or the people in the neighboring rooms.

How can you tell if your grandmother is deceased?
If you suspect someone has died, first call the person's name. Gently shake the person--they may just be sleeping. If no response, put your hand on their chest and see if you feel the chest rise. Lean down, turn your head to the side, and put your ear over their mouth and nose-- you should feel breaths on your ear when they breathe out. If no chest rise-fall and no air on your ear, call 911. If you know CPR, begin it or the 911 operator will lead you through how to do it.
