Acute epiglottis is an infectious disease of the epiglottis and supraglottic structures that can cause sudden fatal airway obstruction. Airway management can be unpredictably difficult and challenging particularly in the event of the unexpected difficult airway. In rare cases, it is impossible either to intubate the trachea or to ventilate the lungs via mask. By anticipating these challenges and choosing the correct rescue strategy in managing the high-risk airway can increase the likelihood of a
emergencies that result in either immediate or eventual endotracheal intubation. This is not to say that intubation is an unimportant skill, quite the contrary. Without a patent airway, most humans will succumb to anoxia in 4-6 minutes. Why then, has pre-hospital endotracheal intubation become so controversial? In the 1850’s, doctors developed methods to view the vocal cords of live patients and subsequently intubate the trachea with a metal tube. Prior to those developments, securing a patient’s
reach its final settling temperature and recorded the temperature too early. Also we might have started the reaction too early before the solution was at the correct temperature because the thermometer was in the beaker rather than the test tube and not measuring the
and I getting up and showering, convincing her dad to take the boat out to the town lakes so we could go tubing and water skiing. Meeting Pam out there and the three of us spending all day in our swimsuits getting tan and sore from riding those damn tubes around the lakes. A few trips here and there into town to my aunt's mexican restaurant to get some food. Then it was back into the shower as we got ready to go out for the night. There were places to go and people to meet. I met my cousin's ex-boyfriend
Sex and Violence on Television Since its inception, television has been the center of controversy. Often it has been viewed as being extremely detrimental to society, and because of this, it is often referred to as the "Boob-tube" or the "Idiot-box". So what makes television so detrimental? - The content (or in the opinion of many) the lack thereof. It is said that television has caused the rotting of our minds, that it depreciates the imagination and contributes to laziness. But the most
Anosognosia for Hemiplegia: A Window into Self-Awareness You wake up in a hospital bed, scared, confused, and attached to a network of tubes and beeping equipment. After doctors assault you with a barrage of questions and tests, your family emerges from the sea of unfamiliar faces surrounding you and explains what has happened; you have had a stroke in the right half of your brain, and you are at least temporarily paralyzed on your left side. You wiggle your left toes to test yourself; everything
First of all, you need a sturdy, good tube. The tube should be cylindrical and should be at least 3/32 of an inch thick. The opening at the top of your tube should have a 5/8 inch opening. Then take a 1/16 inch fuse, make sure it covers the whole tube and sticks out a little bit, just like any other firework and keep the tube in place by using tape. Next, 1.25 grams of 3F BP should be poured into the tube. Then, gently put a one-half inch star down the tube. This is what will go up into the air and
tiny filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus, and a small tube called a renal tubule. Urea, together with water and other waste substances, forms the urine as it passes through the nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney. From the kidneys, urine travels down two thin tubes called ureters to the bladder. The ureters are about 8 to 10 inches (200 to 250 mm) long. Muscles in the ureter walls constantly tighten
Biology: Separation of Proteins Lab Report 1: Separation of Proteins Abstract/Summary: “Proteins account for more than 50% of the dry weight of most cells, and they are instrumental in almost everything organisms do” (Campbell, 1999). The significance of proteins to the continuation of our biological systems is undeniable, and a study of how to quantify proteins seems an appropriate introduction to our studies of biology. In order to study proteins we must first know how to separate then quantify
The complexity of the human reproductive system is unbelievable baffling. The fact that the egg even leaves the protection of the ovary and starts its journey down the fallopian tube is remarkable. The process by which the sperm manage to scurry their way to meet the egg through the hostile environment of a woman’s body isanother great accomplishment of the human body. The fact that, in the majority of cases, the egg and sperm meet, join, and find their way into the uterus and set up the beginning

Apparatus: In order to complete this experiment I will need the following apparatus -------------------------------------------------------------- · Measuring beaker · Measuring cylinder · Side arm test tube & cork · Rubber bung · Large syringe · Small syringe · Metal rod · Metal scoop · Electronic scales · Stop watch · Goggles · Hydrogen Peroxide · Water · Yeast Method: To begin this experiment I set up the apparatus
more. I will start at the basics of computers while trying not to boar you. The first real computer that actually made calculations was the ENIAC that was made by the government in 1943. It costed $500,000, weighed over 30 tons, had 19,000 vacuum tubes, and consumed almost 200 kilowatts of electricity (computer chronicles 8). Now we have advanced to laptops that are one inch thick and 15 inches wide and can do a lot more than the ENIAC could. There have been thousands of advancements and new technology
(malignant) cells are found in the prostate. The prostate is on the male sex glands, and is located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The size of the prostate is about the size of a walnut. It surrounds the part of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. The prostate makes fluid that becomes part of the semen, which contains sperm. Prostate cancer is most commonly found in older men. As a man gets older, his prostate may get bigger
Keeping all the volume of water the same in each test tube - Keeping the starting weight of the potato the same to begin with - When removing the excess water of the potato make sure all excess water is removed but without squeezing any water out of the potato - Keeping the temperature of the water the same - Use the same type of potato (grown from the same potato) We will keep the experiment safe by making sure that all the test tube racks are in a suitable position so they wont easterly
Ideally the purified cellulase that was in test tube 4, which was 50 mg/ml, should have had a higher absorbance, but for unknown reasons, the cellulase has not been working all semester long. Test tube 2 had cellulase at a 1 mg/ml concentration. Next time, instead of a 1-hour incubation period at 50°C, there should be a 3-hour incubation period at 55°C. This would give the
The Effect On Chips In Salt Solutions Group Information ================= 1. Length Of Pieces = 4cm 2. No Of Pieces Per Test Tube = 1 3. Solutions Used = All (Distilled Water, 0.1 - 0.4M and 0.6M (solutions between 0.1 - 0.4 increased by 0.1 each time) 4. Amount Of Solution = 10ml Personal Information ==================== P6 a I) In our experiment to study Osmosis I think that the 0.6 M solution will give the chip a rubbery effect because in the 0.6 M solution the
experiment I am going to use test tubes to symbolise penguins "huddling up". I will firstly get all of my equipment, then I will fill firstly one test tube with water, then 9, then 17, then 25 in bunches. I will fill them all with water at a temperature of 65 degrees C. I will leave each set for 5 minutes and record the temperature of the centre tube. I will see if this tube huddled between a bunch is the highest temperature after 5 minutes than the rest. If the test tube in the bunch of 25 has the

1cm x 2cm. Test tube A will have a piece of potato which is this size. Test tube B will have this size potato in but cut in half and Test tube C will have this size potato in it but cut into thirds, this means the surface area is gradually increased. The surface area for the potato in Test Tube A = 10cm B = 12cm C = 14cm This shows that there is a difference of 2cm between A and B, and B and C, also that there is a 4cm difference between A and C. Test tube B has increased by
