What is the medical term meaning spasmodic condition of muscles resulting from hypocalcemia?
Tetany is the medical term continuous spasm of muscles; tetany may result from hypocalcemia.
Does rebreathing result in acidosis or alkalosis?
Acidosis
What are observations of rebreathing breathed air?
34
Would you use a breathing or non-rebreathing system on a rabbit?
This depends on the size of the dog. A toy size dog would do better with a non-rebreathing system, as it won't have the tidal volume necessary to maintain a good flow of fresh air. A larger dog (say, 15 pounds and up) would be fine with a rebreathing system.
Which causes tetany in frog muscle?
Hi,Tetany is caused by a lack of calcium or vitamin d-3. To prevent Tetany, dusting crickets with a vitamin d-3 mix every week for adults and every other day for youngsters will do the trick.
Which is a description of tetany?
prolonged contraction of the muscles
WHAT IS Rebreathing antiseptic bag?
is this breathing unit stands for AMBU bag?
What can be considered an extreme form of rebreathing?
An extreme form of rebreathing can occur when an individual uses a poorly designed or malfunctioning mask or apparatus that restricts the flow of fresh air into the breathing space. This can lead to a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air being rebreathed, potentially causing suffocation or carbon dioxide poisoning.
What are the key differences between tetany and tetanus, and how can they be distinguished from each other?
Tetany is a condition characterized by involuntary muscle contractions due to low levels of calcium in the blood, while tetanus is a bacterial infection that causes severe muscle stiffness and spasms. Tetany is typically caused by low calcium levels, while tetanus is caused by the bacteria Clostridium tetani. Tetany can be distinguished from tetanus by the presence of muscle twitching and spasms in tetany, while tetanus is characterized by more severe muscle stiffness and spasms.
Is tetany caused by hyposecretion of the thyroid?
No, tetany is not typically caused by hyposecretion of the thyroid. Tetany is usually associated with low levels of calcium in the blood, which can be caused by factors such as hypoparathyroidism or vitamin D deficiency. Hypothyroidism, on the other hand, results from the underproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland.
What is the cause of rebreathing?
Rebreathing occurs when exhaled air is inhaled again, often due to inadequate ventilation or the design of a breathing apparatus that allows for the accumulation of carbon dioxide. This can happen in closed systems, such as certain types of gas masks or during scuba diving if not enough fresh air is supplied. Rebreathing can lead to increased levels of carbon dioxide and decreased oxygen levels, potentially resulting in respiratory distress or hypoxia. Proper ventilation and equipment design are crucial to prevent rebreathing and maintain safe breathing conditions.
What is a painful contracted muscle that will not relax called?
Tetany
