An infra umbilical incision was made; the abdomen was entered under direct vision. Two stay sutures of 0 Vicryl were placed on either side of the incision. The Hasson sheath was then inserted. The abdomen was then inflated with CO2 gas. Three additional ports were then placed. The hilum of the gallbladder was then dissected free. The cystic duct and cystic

ACTIVITY ONE- Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Molecular weight affects the rate of diffusion because the bigger the size of the molecule the longer it will take to diffuse. Membrane size is another variable that affects the rate of diffusion because if the membrane’s pores are small it will take molecules longer to diffuse though it than if the pores were larger. Also‚ membrane thickness

The respiratory rate is a very important tool through which it is possible to recognise early signs of deterioration of a patient (Philip‚ Richardson & Maurice Cohen 2013‚ p. 570). Despite this‚ there is an increasing amount of cases in which healthcare professionals‚ nurses in particular‚ do not routinely assess and document this important vital sign correctly (Massey & Meredith 2010‚ p. 538). This essay will discuss the reasons why healthcare professionals are likely to omit assessing and documenting

oxygen and respiratory disease. Respiratory disease is the term used for defining diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)‚ emphysema and asthma. Common signs and symptoms of respiratory disease are coughing‚ wheezing‚ dyspnoea and production of abnormal secretions like sputum and haemoptysis (Jenkins et al 2008). Respiratory disease accounted for 8.4% of the registered deaths in Australia in 2007. There was an estimated 6.6% increase in deaths caused by respiratory disease from

Cardio Pulmonary Practical The main aim of the practical was to assess‚ what affects did light exercise have on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure‚ heart and respiration rate‚ tidal volume‚ minute volume and percentage of gas. The readings were taken before exercise‚ during exercise and after exercise. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of pressure exerted on the vessels walls‚ during blood flow. Blood pressure can be measured using a sphygmomanometer. The upper value indicates the
