Review of literature Monnet et al(1) published a review article on assessment of volume responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients using heart and lung interactions. He explained that mechanical ventilation produces cyclic changes left ventricular stroke volume due to inspiration and expiration induced changes in LV preload. It denotes preload dependency of left ventricle indirectly right ventricle. He also describes various limitations of respiration variations in SV for predicting fluid
today and why it keeps improving. Because of Boyle’s law, the medical profession saves lives and improves lives every day. In the 1600’s Robert Boyle from Ireland explained the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas, which is now known as, Boyle’s Law. Boyle’s law states a volume of gas varies inversely proportional to its pressure at a constant temperature. The equation for Boyle’s law is written as P1 X V1 = P2 X V2 (Jardins 2013), which is used to calculate the settings on ventilators
Stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is blocked or condensed. Blood works to transport oxygen and other beneficial substances to the body’s cells and organs, as well as the brain. There are two main types of strokes that are known as Ischemic strokes and Hemorrhagic strokes. When the blood vessels that provides for the brain becomes congested, is it referred to as ischemic stroke, the most common stroke within adults. Blood clots, a cluster of blood that sticks together, are the cause
1.6 Stroke Statistics: Globally the leading reason for mortality and morbidity rate is stroke. Nearly twenty million individuals can suffer from stroke annually and around five million individuals won't survive [1]. The developing countries account for a median of 85% of worldwide deaths from stroke [2]. Stroke ends up in practical impairments with a median rate of two hundredth survivors who need institutional care once an amount of three months and 15%-30% are going to be disabled for good [3]
Medical Emergency Strokes. Generally, whenever we hear about someone who suffered from a stroke, the result is never good. Why is it that strokes are so dangerous and why is it so important for providers to recognize them as early as possible? What do we do when we suspect a patient is currently having an active CVA (cerebral vascular accident)? All of these are excellent questions that medical providers need to affluent in. So, what is actually happening when a stroke occurs? A stroke occurs blood flow
two different sized cylinders. Accuracy is a measure of how close something is to its true value. To determine the accuracy we had to measure the volume and compare it to the theoretical volume, finding the relative error. Following this we used the density of water, 0.99720 g/mL, along with the mass we determined with a scale, to determine the volume of water in a 10 mL pipet using the formula D=mv. Objective: The purpose of this lab is to determine which cylinder, the 10mL or 100mL is will produce
Expansion and Contraction of Materials When most materials are heated they expand and this increase their volume. One example of expansion is the fitting of the starter ring gear to the flywheel. The gear is heated until it expands sufficiently to pass over the rim of the flywheel, and when it is cool the gear tries to return to its original size, this gripping the flywheel with considerable force. All metals do not expand equally when heated through the same range of temperature, e.g. aluminium
below this it shouldn't be a problem. Method: To perform the titration the first thing that needs to be done is to dilute the HCl to a suitable concentration, to increase the accuracy of the results it would be helpful if the volume of the alkali equalled the volume of the acid used. We know that the concentration of the alkali is close to 1g/dm‾, which is roughly equal to 0.013mol by using the equation Mass = Mole * RAM.
determined that the best way to conduct this experiment is to do a titration. This will allow me to determine the amount of impure citric acid required to neutralise a known volume of 1.0 M sodium hydroxide. Consequently, by calculating the correct volume of pure citric acid that would be required to neutralise this volume of sodium hydroxide, I can calculate the percentage purity of the citric acid. Calculating the Amount of Citric Acid ------------------------------------- In order
this activity is to determine the size of the square cut out which makes the volume of the box as large as possible for any given rectangular sheet of card. 1. For any sized square sheet of card, investigate the size of the cut out square which makes an open box of the largest volume. 2. For any sized rectangular sheet of card, investigate the size of the cut out square which makes an open box of the largest volume. Question 1 ---------- I began work on question 1, which was to investigate
Measuring the Viscosity of a Liquid Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out how fluid Bath Oils really are by measuring its viscosity. Plan The first thing that I'll do is to measure the spheres volume by first measuring its radius. I will then, by calculating the spheres mass, be able to calculate the density of the sphere. This will be used later when calculating the viscosity of the bath oil. I will then find the density of the bath oil, also used during calculations later

the volume of amylase affects the rate of reaction between amylase and starch. Prediction: I predict that the greater the volume of amylase then the faster the rate of reaction between the starch and amylase will be. I predict this because of the lock and key hypothesis. The lock and key hypothesis explains how the substrate molecule (the starch) fits inside the enzyme. The substrate molecule is then broken up into many smaller pieces. In this experiment the larger the volume of amylase

Online 3 dimensional shapes lesson help – Formulas: Cube: cube Volume of the cube (v) = a3 cubic units a – side length Surface area of cube (SA) = 6a2 square units a – side length Cylinder: cylinder The volume of the cylinder (v) = π x r2 x h cubic unit r – Radius of cylinder h – Height Surface area of right
in. In order to understand the workings and importance of a supercharger, we must first be familiar with how a normal or stock engine’s intake works. A four stroke engine is the kind most commonly found in automobiles, and operates in four distinct steps or “strokes”; induction, compression, combustion and exhaust. On the first stroke, the piston moves downward and causes a pressure in the cylinder which is less than the atmospheric pressure outside of the engine. As a result, the air outside
The World Health Organisation (WHO) describes sudden natural death as ‘death within twenty four hours of the onset of symptoms’ (Payne-James et al. 2011, 54). However in reality sudden death can occur within minutes or even seconds of many symptoms. The investigation of sudden natural deaths is vital to establish the cause is due to natural causes rather than criminal or medical negligence where a trial and prosecution may be necessary. This essay reviews the roles of the Procurator Fiscal and the
A stroke is the acute neurologic injury that come as a result of an effect of ischemia or haemorrhage of the encephalon. Ischemia is caused by diminished supply of arterial blood which carries sugar and oxygen to brain tissue. Haemorrhagic stroke is due to intracerebral or subarachnoid bleeding and it damages the brain directly at the site of the bleeding by compressing the encircling tissue. Ischemic strokes can be embolic or thrombotic. Thrombotic stroke consequences from clot formation in the
