Gas and Air Analgesia

Palatine." It is also through the generosity of the editor of The British Dental Journal that I can publish Plate H from an article by the late Mr. A. T. Pitts. I cannot conclude this paper without expressing my gratitude to the anaesthetists, especially Dr. Geddes, for their cooperation in these operations. I should like to say how much the good results and low mortality have been contributed to by the careful nursing and supervision of Sister Mills and the nurses at the Ulster Hospital. Miss Mitchell has been very helpful in training the speech of the older children who had acquired speech defects before their palates had been operated upon. THIS should be a very useful book for those taking higher surgical examinations and for surgeons in their clinical teaching. The well-chosen references should make it valuable as a starting-off place for the study of the literature of any particular subject. "Ian Aird's Notes" were famous in Edinburgh before the war and he published them privately in book form. They made rather difficult reading, as the material they contained was very much condensed and as the headings were few and far between. The present book is an elaboration of the previous notes, brought up to date very well indeed, and with adequate headings. Though some of the subjects are dealt with rather briefly, the amount of information given generally is much more than the average textbook contains. How we welcome a new edition by this indefatigable author. His little book is a delight to handle, as it is excellently printed and illustrated. It is gratifying to realise that there is at least one man in the world who is pegging away to make childbirth easier. One wonders if mothers all over the world ever realise what Dr. Minnitt is doing for them. He is also doigig a great deal for those who lecture to midwives on gas and air analgesia. His little book is an excellent textbook clear and concise-and is invaluable to those of us who try to explain, in simple language, the workings of the gas and air machines. We are pleased to see that the author stresses the human element and states that "the attitude of the midwife, or medical attendant, has an important bearing on the amount of relief the patient receives." It is gratifying to note that some emphasis is placed on contradicting the …

The effect of a bellows leak in an Ohmeda 7810 ventilator on room contamination, inspired oxygen, airway pressure, and tidal volume.
We investigated the effect of a small bellows leak (bellows full at end-expiration) on inspired oxygen fraction (Fio(2)), exhaled tidal volume (Vt), airway pressure, and room contamination in an oxygen-driven anesthesia ventilator (Ohmeda 7810, Madison, WI). CO(2) concentration at the ventilator exhalation valve, Fio(2), Vt, and airway pressure were measured (n = 3) while ventilating a CO(2)-pr...
متن کاملEffect of air column in transport canisters on measured gas contents of coal
Canister desorption is a widely used technique to measure the gas content of coal. The gas content data, when normalized to volume/weight and multiplied by coal seam mass, is used to estimate the gas in place in an area around the cored hole. However, the gas content and the percentage of each constituent are likely to be influenced by trapped air in the canister at the time of the coal enclosu...
متن کاملOxygen consumption with mechanical ventilation in a field anesthesia machine.
Field anesthesia machines (FAM) with gas-powered ventilators have been developed for remote locations that may not have a central supply of oxygen. These ventilators may rapidly deplete oxygen cylinders, especially in patients with decreased pulmonary compliance. Our goal in this study was to determine oxygen consumption rates with a contemporary FAM in models of high (HC) and low (LC) pulmonar...
متن کاملTechno-Economic Assessment of Different Inlet Air Cooling Systems in Warm Dry & Wet Climate Stations
Performance of a gas turbine mainly depends on the inlet air temperature. The power output of a gas turbine depends on the flow of mass through it. This is precisely the reason why on hot days, when air is less dense, power output falls. The objective here is to assess the advanced systems applied in reducing the gas turbine intake air temperature and examine the merits from integration of the ...

Gas turbines play an important role in supplying power for the country especially in peak electricity load. The main disadvantages are the turbines, they produce large changes are a result of climate change. However, in times of peak electricity grid and at the same time warm months, can produce gas turbines under the effect of ambient temperature, the amount of reduced considerably. The method...
