Malfunction of the Expiratory Valve During Spontaneous Ventilation.
The integrity of inspiratory and expiratory unidirectional valves is very important in the normal functioning of an anesthetic circle breathing system. We describe our experience of an emergency manipulation of a ceramic valve disk of a circle breathing system (Dräger Fabius GS, Dräger Medical Inc) that altered its characteristics and led to rebreathing only during spontaneous ventilation.
متن کاملMelatonin mitigates mitochondrial malfunction.
Melatonin, or N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, is a compound derived from tryptophan that is found in all organisms from unicells to vertebrates. This indoleamine may act as a protective agent in disease conditions such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, aging, sepsis and other disorders including ischemia/reperfusion. In addition, melatonin has been proposed as a drug for the treatment of cancer. These...
متن کاملDialysis catheter malfunction
Vascular access is a crucial factor in the treatment of hemodialysis patients. Dialysis catheters are associated with higher mortality than fistulas, meaning they should be the last choice for most patients. Although they have many drawbacks, catheters play an important role in providing a reliable vascular access in some patients. Dialysis catheter dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity. Ea...
متن کاملTriboelectric simulation of pacemaker malfunction.
We report the occurrence of a triboelectric phenomenon (static electricity) that mimicked malfunction of a contemporary pacemaker by creating an electrocardiograpic artifact virtually identical to the pacemaker stimuli. The diagnosis was established by observing a subtle overshoot of the questionable deflection that was absent from pacemaker stimuli.
متن کاملOccupational noise induced vestibular malfunction ?
This paper comprises a review of the evidence for the possibility that exposure to noise may damage the vestibular receptors in the internal ear as well as those in the cochlea. The review covers lay and medical publications, observations on patients, experimental studies, and compensation claims. It concludes that the verdict must be "not proven"-that is, although such damage is possible, the ...
