ADULT ELECTROLYTE REPLACEMENT PROTOCOLS Standing electrolyte replacement protocols are available for use in adult patients admitted to King Khaled Hospital. Najran‚ Saudi Arabia. The protocols are listed below. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: • Intravenous infusions of electrolytes must be administered with free-flow protected infusion devices (i.e. infusion pump). • Patients must meet the following criteria prior to initiation of the Potassium‚ Magnesium‚ or Phosphorus protocols: o SCr < 2 mg/dL

Acid-Base Titrations 6-3: Concepts in Acid-Base Titrations Titrations provide a method of quantitatively measuring the concentration of an unknown solution. In an acid-base titration‚ this is done by delivering a titrant of known concentration into an analyte of known volume. (The concentration of an unknown titrant can also be determined by titration with an analyte of known concentration and volume.) Titration curves (graphs of volume vs. pH) have characteristic shapes. The graph can be used

Hyperthermia and Homeostasis Definition of homeostasis is the attempt to keep equilibrium of the internal organisms despite the external environment. Homeostasis is everywhere in your body‚ think of the heart for a second. If you have a high blood pressure your cells send signals to your brain to slow the heart rate down to keep equilibrium‚ or if you have low blood pressure your heart will beat faster. Hyperthermia relates to homeostasis through numerous different systems in the body. In

It is composed of proteins‚ phospholipids and carbohydrates that are arranged in a fluid mosaic structure. Nucleus; the nucleus is the control centre of the whole cell. The nucleus of living cells contains genetic material that determines the structure and function of the cell it’s controlling. Nucleolus; the nucleolus is in the nucleus

Homeostasis report 3.4 The Purpose of the Homeostatic System Homeostasis is a process that ensures the balance or equilibrium in different internal areas of the body. It’s vital that the human body maintains this balance state as significant fluctuations could cause a severe effect on the body. All homeostasis systems are negative feedbacks‚ “a regulatory mechanism in which a ‘stimulus’ causes an opposite ‘output’ in order to maintain an ideal level of whatever is being regulated”‚ meaning if the

1. Identify each of the following statements as either true or false. If false‚ explain why. (a) Viscosity is a measure of how easily a fluid flows. (b) Although important‚ fluids are not essential to many living things. (c) A meniscus forms when water particles adhere to the sides of their container. (d) Buoyancy‚ like water pressure‚ acts in all directions. 2. Describe the relationship between mass‚ volume‚ and density of matter. 3. Use the particle theory to explain the differences between

Homeostasis by definition is the technical term for the process of maintaining a constant internal environment despite changes in the external environment. The internal environment comprises of blood‚ tissue fluid‚ body cell contents and all metabolic processes taking place inside the body. This process is essential to the survival of a person and to our species as a whole. The liver‚ the kidneys‚ and the brain (hypothalamus‚ the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system) help maintain

Experiment 3: Fluid Flow Friction and Fitting Loss Objective To determine the pressure or head loss in different diameters pipes‚ joints and valves Theory Pipe flows belong to a broader class of flows‚ called internal flows‚ where the fluid is completely bounded by solid surfaces. In contrast‚ in external flows‚ such as flow over a flat plate or an airplane wing‚ only part of the flow is bounded by a solid surface. The term pipe flow is generally used to describe flow through round pipes

Blood Water Homeostasis or Osmoregulation Osmoregulation is the process by which the body regulated the osmotic pressure of any organism’s fluids in order to keep the homeostasis of the organisms’ water level constant. Therefore osmoregulation is used to keep the bodily fluid from being too diluted or too concentrated. An osmotic pressure is used to measure the ability of water to move from one solution to another solution through osmosis. Osmotic pressure refers to tendency for a liquid solution
