An ice compress can be anything from a plastic bag filled with ice chips to a much fancier (and more effective) poly sack filled with a gel substance that doesn't freeze at normal freezer temperatures. They're applied to the injury site, and used mostly to reduce swelling and pain in injuries, but also have a home in physical therapy and even the football locker room.

If you mean what kind of muscle tissues it is a special tissue found only in the heart called cardiac muscle tissue. It sometimes referred to by professionals as myocardium.

Yes, if it is an emergency are you are unable to consent (e.g. unconscious) and they are acting in your best interests. (UK). In addition to the answer above a surgeon can also operate against your wishes if authorised by a court.

"Surgery" means the actual intervention into the body to correct problems. Not all illnesses require surgical intervention - for example pneumonia may require hospitalization, but no "surgical" intervention into the body to cure it. A surgical case would be a sub-set of total cases in any hospital at a given time.

Outside the US, "surgery" can also mean a place where a doctor practices or surgeries are performed, not just the actual act.

It will depend on whether or not the bone can be reset in the ER. An example of this may include a dislocation, where it fell out of its socket. Sometimes they can reset these in the ER, but most have to be reset through surgery.

When someone's constipation gets so bad it can no longer be handled at home, they get admitted for a GoLYTEly cleanout. It is just a powerful laxative that is run constantly through an NG tube or by drinking every 15 minutes until stool is completely clear.

Of course that all depends upon how much the doctor would like to work. The thing about a private practice is that the doctor can set his or her hours, clients, and staff, as well as what insurance companies will be accepted and what not. If this doctor was willing to work a lot of hours, he or she would make more money than just at a hospital, however there is a certain amount of work that would need to be done to surpass the salary of a doctor at a hospital.

Yes

ER is for emergency department

or DC for the sterile decontamination area

or housekeeping maybe, HK

but i think you want ER, this sounds like a crossword question

I would definitely find out what the policy for that is at your job, policies range, care-plans range as well, but you don't want an abuse charge that may never go away, so check that out before anything.

The ones who might already have an infection or have a low immune level.

How many beds for a fleet hospital (FH) depends totally on the mission at the moment. In 2003, FH8 in Rota, Spain, provided 250 additional top-of-the-line beds for the Operation Iraq Freedom mission. During Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield (1991 - 92), FH3, FH5 and FH15 offered 500 beds a piece. Since a FH is movable and can expand/contract as needed, the number of beds depends on the needs of the Navy at that particular time.

Maxie Jones' parents were Frisco, (Jack Waggoner) and Felicia Jones, (Christina Waggoner) Frisco's character became something of a globe trotter when the actor launched a singing career then turned up on Melrose Place. Felicia became a private eye and was wooed by the comfort of stability offered by Mac Scorpio, who stepped in as a father figure for Maxie and her sister Georgie, but alas, Felicia's wanderlust would constantly tug at her heart, pulling her away from her children and the man who adored her. Mac, always the groomsman, never the groom, built his life around Felicia's daughters and Robin Scorpio, young daughter of his brother Robert Scorpio and Anna De Vaine.

Absolutely not, unless you are using a Fentanyl patch, such as Duragesic or another brand name for the opiod-based transdermal pain delivery system , in which case, the Fentanyl will remain in your system, as provided by the patch, until about three to five days after you remove the last patch. There is no way for a urine drug test to determine whether the Fentanyl (opiod narcotic) it is detecting is that which was used to relieve your pain in surgery (or what was given to you by the anesthesiologist while you were asleep) or that which is entering your system now from the pain patch, except to say that at nineteen days "post op" nothing given to you in the operating room will still be in your system, so it would have to be something like a pain patch, unless perhaps you were given an injection of Fentanyl into your spinal area, such as an intrathecal injection, meant to linger there in that area and absorb over a period of many days and provide longer term pain relief, but you would certainly have been told and have had to approve a procedure of that sort and would therefore be aware that it was given to you prior to leaving the hospital/surgi-center as a longer-term pain reliever. In that case, a test would identify the Fentanyl in your system at likely many days (not sure how many, it would depend on the dosage and how long the medication was intended to linger there). Hope that helps out.

When you first go in- to a&e, they will ask what has happened, what you have taken and how much. then depending on the urgency they will either take you straight, or make you wait. If you are taken straight through you will have blood tests within like, half an hour and then get put on a drip. theyll then take you through to an observation ward, but if you're levels are high you may have to have your stomach pumped. You will have to stay in overnight, if not more, and see a psychologist to risk assess you and so on. Sorry my answer is not very useful, this is jsut what happened to me but will probably vary in different countries and hospitals. :) hope you're okay!

i just did the pre-surgical testing earlier this week (11/2011) at hss (by the way, excellent hospital, this will be my 3rd surgery there). i don't remember the exact prices but the starting rate was around $1,000 a night for a private room upgrade and there was another option for a (i'm assuming a deluxe) private room for somewhere around $1,300-1,500, definitely under $2,000 a night. these prices i assumed are in addition to the base price of the semiprivate room, which i do not know the the price for. sorry it was a long day, and i just can't remember. i hope this helps

a large number of reasons, i would list them but it would take awhile.

Yes.

whenever i do it, they call it rape, but its sexual intercourse

You could unless maxfax trauma is present. You wouldn't use nasal cannulae in trauma patients as well, you would probably give 15L/min O2 via a non-rebreather mask until stabilised, sats aim for 94-98%. (British Thoracic Society guidelines)

Medicare, Medicaid and private payers are the largest source of revenue for hospitals.
