Effect of inflatable plastic splints on blood flow.

چکیده
Inflatable plstic splints have been in use for some time in the United States for the emergency splinting of fracures;t are also gaining popularity in casualty departmentsand clinics in the United Kingdom. Splints of this type cost essentially of a double-walled trAhsparent plastic jacket with a slide fastener and a screw valve in the outer _wa for tion (Pig,,1). The jacket is placed on the limb and inflated so a support and immobilize the limb withi a cushion of air uide pressure. The air pressure recommended by the m u

A Numerical Analysis for the Effect of Slip Velocity and Stenosis Shape on Non-Newtonian Flow of Blood (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The aim of this paper is to study the effect of slip velocity and shape of stenosis on non-Newtonian flow of blood through a stenosed arterial segment. Blood is modeled as Bingham-Plastic fluid in a uniform circular tube with a radially non-symmetric stenosis. The problem is investigated by a joint effort of analytical and numerical techniques. The influence of stenosis shape parameter, slip ve...

Inflation of a splint to 40 mm. Hg caused a marked reduction In blood flow in the limb in all subjects. Complete cessation of blood flow in the limb occurred in six subjects, and a reduction in blood flow to levels between 0.2 and 0.9 ml./ 100 ml. tissue/min. occurred in seven. Inflation of a splint to 30 mm. Hg caused a similar but less pronounced reduction in blood flow. Raising the limb abov...
متن کاملInflatable splints--what are they doing?
The pressure to which splints were inflated was measured to determine whether splintage was effective and if vascular complications were likely. The prevalence of their use by the ambulance service was also investigated. The findings indicate that inflatable splints are in common use, and are rarely inflated to pressures likely to cause vascular complications. However, they are extremely ineffi...
متن کاملAXIAL FLOW IN A ROTATIONAL COAXIAL RHEOMETER SYSTEM 1. BINGHAM PLASTIC
A mathematical analysis has been carried out for the axial flow of a Bingham plastic fluid, in the Concentric Cylinder Viscometer which consists of a cylindrical sample holder (the cup) and a cylindrical spindle (the bob) coaxial with the cup. The fluid to be tested flows through the annular gap of the cup and the bob system, sheared by the rotation of the inner cylinder, while the outer cy...
متن کاملEffect of esophagus distension on gastric blood flow, gastrin and somatostatin secretion in rat
Abstract Introduction: There are many studies about the inhibitory effect of the esophageal distention (ED) on gastric motility. Recently, it has been shown that ED decreases the gastric secretions. It is well established that the inhibitory effect of ED is mediated by activation of vago-vagal inhibitory reflex. However, there is not any investigation about the effect of the reflex on the gast...
