Cast-saw burns: evaluation of skin, cast, and blade temperatures generated during cast removal.
BACKGROUND The use of an oscillating saw for cast removal creates a potential for iatrogenic injury and patient discomfort. Burns and abrasions can occur from the heat created by frictional forces and direct blade contact. With use of a cadaver model system, skin temperature measurements were recorded during cast removal with an oscillating saw. METHODS Casts of uniform thickness were applied...
متن کاملAnxiety reaction in children during removal of their plaster cast with a saw.
We have had experience of an 18-month-old boy with a cardiomyopathy who died a few minutes after removal of his cast with a saw, apparently from a malignant cardiac arrhythmia triggered by anxiety. We therefore examined the anxiety reaction to this method of removal of a plaster cast in 20 healthy children; ten were provided with hearing protectors and ten were not. The level of anxiety was ass...
متن کاملCast saw burns: evaluation of simple techniques for reducing the risk of thermal injury.
BACKGROUND Although a routine practice in all orthopaedic clinics, the use of cast saws is not without risk of thermal and abrasive injury to patients. This study investigates the use of readily available supplies for reducing oscillating saw blade operating temperatures. METHODS An oscillating cast saw blade and an adhesive thermocouple fixed to the blade were uniformly heated and subsequent...
متن کاملCAST Extensions to DASME to SupportGeneralized Information
The Data Analysis and System Modeling Environment (dasme) is a computer-assisted modeling environment, currently under development at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, designed to support ground-based mission operations with a mixed discrete/continuous mod-eling capability. This paper describes planned cast-based extensions to dasme to support a broader range of systems theoretical computing ...
متن کاملHow to Emulate the Super Saw
Analysis of the Super Saw was done in order to provide a detailed understanding of this special oscillator found in the Roland JP-8000 and JP-8080. There are currently no software synthesizers available which have the Super Saw oscillator or any faithful recreations which could represent this special oscillator. With the results and findings in this thesis, it will be possible to emulate the Su...
