patient with esophagogastric balloon tamponade tubes is formulated around the primary nursing diagnosis of ineffective airway clearance related to aspiration of blood (Ackley‚ B.‚ Ladwig‚ G.‚ 2011) Bleeding often stop spontaneously‚ but if it does not‚ a Sengstaken-Blakemore or Minnesota tube is inserted to provide constant pressure at the source of bleeding of the varices by using a balloon tamponade. For continued bleeding‚ a nasogastric tube may be inserted and connected to continuous low

thousands of electronic devices that have a microchip at the heart of its operation. Over the years‚ three major breakthroughs occurred to accelerate the birth of the microprocessor: the vacuum tube‚ the transistor‚ and the integrated circuit. The Vacuum Tube American physicist Lee De Forest invented the vacuum tube in 1906. However‚ one must look back to 1879 when Thomas Edison first revealed the incandescent electric light bulb to understand how De Forest developed his idea. Edison ’s invention consisted

This method of feeding has resulted in a range of different routes and systems for delivery of nutrition‚ and more patients are now being fed by home enteral feeding tubes in the community setting.

Dysphagia is the most common reason for initiating gastrostomy tube feeding commonly as a result of cerebro vascular accident‚ multiple sclerosis‚ motor neurone disease and cerebral trauma (Parker et al‚ 2006). There are two types of peg tubes‚ those that last 18 months to two years and balloon retained gastrostomy tubes which require replacement every 2-3 months (Collier‚ 2007). One of the most

find the rate of reaction of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. * Control Variable- 1mL of yeast (catalyst) is being used in every trial. The volume of H2O2 is always 4 mL‚ even though the concentration changes and the sizes and type of test tube was the same because it can change the pressure. * Independent Variable- Concentration of H2O2 (M) and the temperature (°C) * Dependent Variable- The rate of reaction of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide → rate of reaction = ∆ Pressure
