Blood gases and acid base balance Normally we do venous/capillary blood gases. Arterial blood gases are only done in the very sick children‚ who have been intubated/ventilated and have arterial lines in situ (usually in the theatre prior to transfer to the PICU in Newcastle. Here is a stepwise approach to blood gas analysis. STEP 1: [pic] STEP 2: Look at pCO2 [pic] STEP 3: Look at Bicarbonate & Base excess (BE) [pic] Base excess (BE): Base excess is the

Characteristics of Language Development By J.L. Frost|S.C. Wortham|S. Reifel How early does language development begin? It begins in the womb when the fetus hears her mother’s voice and language in the environment. Babies who are 4 days old can distinguish between languages. Newborns show their preference for the language that is familiar by sucking more vigorously on a nipple when they hear it as compared to an unfamiliar language (Cowley‚ 1997). Like cognitive development‚ acquisition of

The SGLT2 inhibitors are a novel anti-diabetic agents with similar glycemic efficacy to other oral anti-hyperglycemic agents and low risk for hypoglycemia. There is a lack of published literature evaluating the economic benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors such as dapagliflozin. This cost-effectiveness analysis evaluates the long-term economic consequences of SGLT2

Homeostasis is extremely important for proper functioning of all the human body systems. When our body is not able to regulate temperature all our body functions will fail to work.

Inhaled Flolan Vs Inhaled Nitric Oxide Which one is a better option? Abstract: Nowadays vasodilators are administered directly via the airway to treat pulmonary hypertension and to recover pulmonary gaseous exchange. Many scientific studies focus on this new therapeutic concept which was initiated by using exogenous nitric oxide (NO) gas. It selectively dilates pulmonary vessels without associated systemic vasodilation. But in recent years alternatives of NO were proposed due to NO’s potential

or tendency of an organism or cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes (Homeostasis‚ n.d.). The inability of the body to assert homeostasis may lead to death or disease‚ examples are diabetes‚ dehydration‚ hypoglycemia‚ hyperglycemia‚ gout‚ and any disease caused by a toxin present in the bloodstream‚ which is a condition known as homeostatic inconsistency. All of these diseases are caused by an increased amount of a particular substance in the blood. Homeostatic
