In addition to monitoring EtCO2, closely tracking oxygen concentration could ensure that patient's breathing oxygen levels remain within a safe range during the surgical procedure, avoiding situations of oxygen toxicity or hypoxia. ...
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. ...
Nitrogen is an oxygen-depleting gas that is both odorless and colorless. Oxygen deprivation is called a silent killer because there are no indications that one is breathing oxygen deficient air until it is too late. ...
As the gas leaks, it lowers ambient oxygen levels below safe thresholds. When levels of oxygen in the air fall below 16 percent, people can experience adverse health affects. Additionally, university property can be damaged by fires or explosions. All it takes it a couple of breaths of oxygen-deficient air for symptoms ...
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 pharmacopoeia of medicines They provide limitless inspiration Celebration and preservation The concept for World Oceans ...
A training device has been developed that induces hypoxia using mixed gas delivered through anaviator’s oxygen mask. The reduced oxygen breathing device (ROBD) simulates the diminished oxygen present at altitude by mixing breathing air and nitrogen under normobaric conditions. ...
