Thoracoscopical water jet lavage in coagulated hemothorax.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the use of a pulsatile high-speed irrigation device during video-assisted thoracoscopy for retained, in part coagulated hemothorax. Blood clots and membranes adhering to intrathoracic structures are easily removed by the water jet without damaging underlying structures. The efficient dilution of the sticky retained blood and the fragmented coagula enable their quick removal over a suction catheter.

متن کاملCoagulant modulates the hypocholesterolemic effect of tofu (coagulated soymilk).
The recent increase in soymilk and tofu (coagulated soymilk) consumption, especially in Western countries, is due to the recognition of the health benefits of soy foods; consumption of soybean would prevent heart diseases. Since the amount and the type of coagulated biomolecules (such as isoflavones) will vary with the type of coagulant, this will inevitably alter their biological activity. Thi...

متن کاملCoagulation of Oil in Water Using Sawdust and Bentonite and the Formation of a Floating Coagulated Material
The coagulation of oil in water is potentially cost-effective for removing oil from water. A coagulant consisting of sawdust (79.6% by volume), bentonite (15.8% by volume), and calcium hydroxide (4.7% by volume) gives coagulation efficiency of ≥94% and coagulation time of ≤ 45 s. The resulting coagulated material (a semisolid) floats on water. Its oil (liquid) content, which decreases with a de...
