The purpose of an anesthesia machine is to deliver precise amounts of anesthetic gases or medications to patients during surgical procedures to maintain anesthesia. Throughout this process, closely monitoring key respiratory parameters, including EtCO2 (end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration) and oxygen levels, could ensure the patient's respiratory function remains normal and safe. Given that ...
Every second counts in any emergency, particularly those involving sudden cardiac events. Training in life-saving procedures becomes pivotal in ensuring that a victim has the best chance of survival. Two terms that often surface in discussions about cardiac emergencies are CPR vs. AED training. While both aim at preserving life during cardiac crises, they serve different functions and involve ...
In the field of aviation and aerospace research, it’s crucial to understand how low-pressure, high-altitude conditions affect the human body. These studies can help ensure the safety and efficiency of flight and space crew selection and ...
The defence industry requires advanced technology and solutions for the unique, and often extreme conditions, in which people work. The military conducts scientific and technological research and officer training in high altitude environments with low oxygen levels. Thus, reduced oxygen delivery devices are necessary and widely used by various branches of the military, including the Air Force, ...
After a lightning round of proposals and reviews, an international team of scientists led by Dr. Camillo Ricordi was granted immediate FDA authorization for a 24-patient clinical trial to test the safety and exploratory efficacy of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) to block the life-threatening lung inflammation that accompanies severe cases of COVID-19. The therapy uses ...
Herrsching based company Inmatec reacted quickly: instead of nitrogen generators, it produces oxygen generators and delivers them all over the world. The advantage: the generators filter the oxygen from the air. Herrsching - The corona pandemic is currently keeping the whole world in suspense: In extreme cases, the Covid-19 virus infection can lead to severe pneumonia, so that patients in the ...

A healthy world ocean is critical to our survival. This is the message that World Oceans Day is trying to remind people of. Oceans are vital to our planet. According to the World Oceans Day website, they are important because: They produce most of the oxygen we breathe They feed millions of people every year They regulate our climate They help to clean the water we drink They offer a ...
ARTINO JR AR, FOLGA RV, SWAN BD. Mask-on hypoxia training for tactical jet aviators: evaluation of an alternate instructional paradigm. Aviat Space Environ Med 2006; 77:857– 63.Introduction: Hypoxia familiarization instruction has been an integral part of military aviation training for more than 60 yr. Traditionally, aircrew learn hypoxia recognition while being exposed to hypobaric conditions in ...
