Infusion is one medical equipment that provides several fluids into the body through a needle vein to replace or food substances lost from body. The use of manual infusion determine number drops given patient and calculation manually. purpose this research design an automatic flow control device equipped with occlusion detection. This module consists Arduino Mega 2560, DC motor (stepper NEMA 17...

Background Ultrasound of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) has been used as a non-invasive and cost-effective bedside alternative to invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring. However, ONSD time-lapse behavior in hypertension (ICH) its relief by means either saline infusion or surgery are still unknown. The objective this study was correlate ultrasonography (ONS) an experimental anim...

The effects of the electrogalvanizing conditions (a combination plating current and time) on hydrogen infusion, embrittlement, corrosion-induced embrittlement (HE) behaviors ultra-high strength steel were examined. A range experimental analytical methods, including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, permeation, polarization, slow strain rate test, employed. results showed that applied cath...

background calcium infusion is used as a pre-treatment before calcium channel blockers to prevent hypotension. occasional cardioversion with calcium gluconate infusion is seen in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. several mechanisms have been suggested for mechanism. herein we report a case presenting with atrial fibrillation but cardioverted with calcium gluconate infusion,...

introduction: chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat cancer may cause nausea and emesis by inducing the release of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-ht) in the small intestine. blockage of 5-ht 3 receptors in the small intestine by 5-ht 3 receptor antagonists might prevent the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy for cancer. the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of t...

background pain following laparoscopy could be due to different causes requiring effective postoperative analgesia. objectives in the present study, we evaluated the combined effect of intraperitoneal infiltration of bupivacaine-meperidine versus intravenous infusion of paracetamol on pain relief after diagnostic gynecologic laparoscopy. conclusions intraperitoneal infiltration of bupivacaine w...

Adjusted-dose subcutaneous unfractionated heparin (SC heparin) was used in the initial management of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) to allow shortened hospital stay. Of 78 patients screened, 41% were eligible and 18 (23%) were enrolled. Follow-up venous ultrasound examination was performed 6 weeks after discharge. Of enrolled patients, 16 (89%) completed the protocol. Hospital length of stay was ...

BACKGROUND Most cancer care occurs within infusion rooms at ambulatory cancer centers, which are staffed by RNs administering chemotherapies and other cancer care medications. Many patients receiving these therapies have basic palliative care needs that could be addressed by the RNs. However, the extent to which these RNs spend their time on basic, or "primary," palliative care is unknown. OB...
