FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE MECHANICS OF ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION: The forces that impede ventilation include non-elastic or respiratory system resistance, which occurs when gas flows within the airway circuit, and elastic resistance, which occurs in the absence of gas flow in the circuit. Examples of non-elastic resistance include frictional resistance to gas flow, viscoelastic resistance from the deformation of thoracic tissues, and finally, the inertia of gas flow and tissue movement.

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) is an innovation that creates more layers of safety during complex procedures that involve the nervous system. With IONM, the risk of neurological injury can be detected and prevented prior to severe neurological damage, which allows surgeons to make more informed decisions, decreases the chance of adverse outcomes, and protects the hospital and surgical staff from greater liability.

What are grounded and ungrounded systems? Grounded Systems : In a grounded system, the neutral is directly connected to the ground. This means that if an insulation fault occurs, current will immediately flow through the ground, potentially causing an electrical shock with just one fault. Ungrounded Systems : In an ungrounded system, the circuit is isolated from the ground.

An aortic aneurysm is a very serious condition that occurs when the aorta (the largest artery in the body that comes off the heart) develops a bulb-like formation. If the aneurysm is not treated appropriately, it can rupture or lead to an aortic dissection, causing blood to dangerously leak out of the aorta and prove life-threatening.

The sterile processing department (SPD) and the OR work hand in hand, but communication between the two can be disjointed and incomplete, resulting in unnecessary waste and preventable errors. Both departments must perform at optimal levels to ensure positive outcomes and patient safety, which means systematic collaboration isn’t just nice to have — it’s absolutely essential.
