What is the post indicator valve for?
Main fire line valve
The purpose of a bypass valve in larger-size gate valves is to?
In an application of pressure reduction, the warm up valve (bypass valve) is used to warm the steam line, within recommended time frames, before the control valve is placed into operation. A steam control valve should not be used for warm up of a steam distribution line.
What is the application of boiler stop valve?
Stop Boiler Valve (or Crown Valve) is installed on an outlet line of a boiler. It's purpose is isolation of a boiler from a downstream steam line. Its position may be either open or close, it cannot be used for throttling of steam.
How do you prevent sewer line backing up into basement?
Install a one way check valve in the line from the house to the sewer.
Why should use globe valve in bypass line of control valve?
The purpose of the bypass and the globe valve would depend on the function of the system. The bypass might be used to allow a small amount of flow around the control valve to warm or purge the line prior to startup, or it might be there as a failsafe to prevent inadvertent total shutoff of the line by the control valve. In any case, a globe valve in the bypass line provides adjustability along with the ability to shutoff the bypass flow and Globe valve has following advantages. 1.Good shutoff capability 2. Moderate to good throttling capability 3. Shorter stroke (compared to a gate valve) 4. Available in tee, wye, and angle patterns, each offering unique capabilities 5. Easy to machine or resurface the seats 6. With disc not attached to the stem, valve can be used as a stop-check valve.

Does a PICC line cause endocarditis?
The answer to your question is no with a great big BUT after it and said in the same breath. Infections cause endocarditis. PICC lines are used to fight infection. However there are a few increased risk factors once a PICC line is introduced to the equation. If the PICC line is not properly maintained, cleaned and removed, then there is a much higher risk of bacteria affecting the heart structure as there is a direct pathway from the contaminated exterior of the body including the environment to the uncontaminated and isolated heart. When a peripheral PICC line is installed it's termination point us usually just above the aortic valve; therefore, any bacteria that enters the body through that venue has a much greater chance of incubating on the heart structure surfaces as the heart is the first organ the bacteria would meet once departed from the PICC line. Also at risk is the Aortic Heart Valve. The valve itself, once a PICC line is inserted, is exposed to higher concentrations of antibiotics over an extended period of time. The more toxic the antibiotic is, the more advantageous the use of a PICC line is. However, as a result, the Aortic Valve surface may become abraded almost like if someone had brushed a piece of sand paper over the surface. Once this condition is present, then any bacteria passing by has a much greater risk of landing a home - even after the PICC line has been removed and the current bacteria at issue has been eradicated. Suddenly infections on other areas of the body, even dental surgery (root canals) become more risky. I hope this answers your question and clarifies any other questions you may have regarding related PICC/Endocarditis questions.
How long do you have to wait to put in a PICC line after a blood culture?
As soon as you get the test results back from the culture you have the okay to insert the picc line.
Can you smoke marijuana with a picc line?
Yes. Keep your picc covered and make sure to wash your hands.
In what situations does a picc line have to be used?
A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) can be used for blood sampling. The FDA has approved certain types of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC line) for power injections.
What are the dangers of injecting into a picc line?
infection
Is an elevated INR a contraindication to a picc line?
no
Is there a icd-9 code for picc line?
No
Is there a icd-9 code for picc line placement?
No
If a patient has a PICC line in one arm and a mastectomy on the other side where do you draw blood from?
Why not use the PICC for the blood draw?
Can you give liquid morphine sublingual in a pic line?
No. For one reason, you cannot go sublingually through a PICC line, as a PICC line would not be inserted sublingually. The most glaring issue however, is that oral morphine (which I think you are suggesting) can only be given orally. A PICC line is an intravenous route, and would therefore not be appropriate.
