The Trendelenburg position is used for patients in shock to increase blood flow, by gravity, from the major vessels in the lower extremities to the brain to help increase the blood pressure enough to keep the patient stable until advanced medical care is available.
Removing a central line from a hositaized patient. Reverse trendelenburg decreases the amount of blood flow returning to the heart, thus decreasing the amount of blood in the internal jugular/subclavian vein and making the removal of the line less bloody.
To prevent shock when working with electrical equipment, always turn off the power before touching any wires or components. Use insulated tools and wear rubber gloves and shoes to protect yourself. Make sure to follow proper safety procedures and never work on electrical equipment when you are wet or standing in water.
The dorsal (or supine) position means to lie on one's back. The lithotomy position is where the patient has his/her feet elevated above the hips and sometimes above the head depending on the procedure, in stirrups. This is the most common position for childbirth and pelvic exams. It's also historically known as the position for removing stones from the abdomen.
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a rare but serious medical condition caused by toxins produced by certain bacteria, commonly Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. It can be associated with tampon use, skin wounds, or surgery. Symptoms may include sudden high fever, low blood pressure, rash, and organ failure. Immediate medical attention is required if TSS is suspected.
Birds hover in one spot to maintain their position in the air while searching for food, avoiding predators, or defending their territory. They use their wings and tail to adjust their position and stay in place, similar to how a helicopter hovers in the air.
You can use histamine antagonists and/or immunosuppressants, since anaphylactic shock is just an overreaction of the immune system.
Removing a central line from a hositaized patient. Reverse trendelenburg decreases the amount of blood flow returning to the heart, thus decreasing the amount of blood in the internal jugular/subclavian vein and making the removal of the line less bloody.
A reverse trendelenburg is used in abdominal and gynecological surgery
Example sentences using "anaphylatic shock" include these: After receiving an allergy shot, the woman developed difficulty breathing and went into anaphylatic shock. A single bee sting can cause anaphylatic shock in susceptible persons. Repeated exposure to a medication, such as an antibiotic, can cause an allergic reaction and even anaphylatic shock.
For a shock patient, the recommended position is typically the supine position, which involves lying flat on their back. This position helps promote blood flow to vital organs. Elevating the legs slightly can also be beneficial to enhance venous return to the heart. However, the specific positioning may vary based on the type of shock and the patient's condition, so it's essential to monitor closely and adjust as necessary.
No one is supposed to share their prescribed medications with another person for any reason due to the possibility of serious problems and interactions with other medications a person might be taking. If a person carries and EpiPen and they go into anaphylactic shock and is unable to use the EpiPen, someone with them must act quickly and use the EpiPen to deliver the life saving medication in the pen.
Yes you should use a AED on a person that has a electrical shock injury.
Yep, some vehicles still use the shock absorber but many use the strut assembly which has many functions other than the just the duties of a shock absorber.
1) Jack the car and secure with jack stands. 2) Remove the tire. 3) Remove the two nuts that are on the top of the shock. This secures a plate that holds the top of the shock. 4) Remove the bolt on the bottom of the shock. Note: one side of the bolt is welded to the shock and does not have to be held. Removing this bolt is challenging. 5) Compress the the shock to remove. 6) Transfer plate and rubber sleeve to new shock. When removing the top nut on shock, secure the very top of the shock with vise grips. 7) Make sure to remove device that keeps the shock compressed. 8) Compress shock to reinstall. Install top plate to align with bolts. As the shock is decompressing, use screw driver to hold in position to insert bolt on the bottom of shock. 9) Install nuts on top of the shock and tighten. 10) Install bolt on the bottom of shock and tighten.
The batteries are called "AAA shock pen"
Use a stun gun
