To clear liquids out of the airway/mouth
The opposite of a compressor. A vacumn cleaner is a suction device. Were you ever on a baby bottle. You used suction to get the formular out of there. A suction machine sucks!
It is the name of the emergency cart that has the emergency drugs, usually an oxygen tank, a defribillator or AED, and maybe a few other items such as a backboard, IV fuids, or a portable suction unit. Generally only used if there is a "code blue" or significant medical emergency.
This drug is often used for Grandmal seizures
The 'crash cart' is hospital slang for the trolley that carries emergency defibrillation equipment and drugs in the event of a patient going into cardiac arrest. It is portable, and can be rushed to the patient's bedside in the event of emergency.
A device used to suck up liquids is called a vacuum pump or a suction pump. It creates a vacuum to draw in and remove fluids through a tube or nozzle.
Suction is typically measured using a device called a manometer, which compares the pressure of the suction with atmospheric pressure. The difference in pressure is then quantified in units such as inches of mercury (inHg) or millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Alternatively, vacuum gauges can also be used to measure suction.
Vented IV tubing is used on a crash cart to prevent air from being introduced into the patient's bloodstream during rapid IV infusions, which can cause air embolisms. The vent allows air to escape from the tubing and helps to maintain a continuous flow of medication or fluids to the patient in emergency situations.
The literary device used in the sentence "the chair fell with a loud crash" is onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech where words imitate natural sounds. In this case, "crash" imitates the sound of the chair falling.
A "crash cart" can consist of many different things, but primarily they are plastic. They are not a particular item, but rather a collection of materials and drugs commonly used in an emergency situation and stored in a box (often a tool box or organizer box) so that they can be easily moved to where they are needed in a veterinary facility. Each practice typically puts together it's own "crash cart" or "crash box" based upon their particular needs.
Soft suction catheters may also be referred to as flexible suction catheters or malleable suction catheters.
A nipple suction device or a breast pump can be used to create a sensation of suction on the nipples. These devices work by creating a vacuum that draws the nipples into a chamber, simulating the feeling of being sucked.
Commonly used to clear the airways of a newborn, in the presence of meconium (otherwise, a bulb syringe is used), just as soon as the head is out and before the infant takes it's first breath.
