Gauze

grab it with my left had to remove it but it was to hot to even touch. I screamed at Seth and Heath so loud they heard me over the gunshots and through their earmuffs. Seeing me down on my knees, clutching my wrist they immediately knew something was wrong. they sat down the rifles and ran over to me. As they were running to come and help me I made up my mind that the bullet had to come out so I took a deep breath, grabbed the burning piece of brass and ripped it out of my hand. Blood instantaneously gushed out of the large hole the bullet left in my had. When Seth and Heath got over to where I was and saw what happened they started calming me down and cleaning the wound. Heath luckily had gauze pads in the backpack he brought to help stop the majority of the bleeding. After a few packs of gauze we got it to stop bleeding enough to examine closer. After we looked at it closely we determined the wound was approximately an inch deep. We knew we needed to get to the hospital quickly so they packed up all of our stuff and we headed out. We quickly realized that meant another three mile hike to the house where we parked our vehicles. Once we got there we all got in Heath police cruiser and stormed off toward the hospital. With every car we came up on Heath turned on his blue lights so we could get around them. A twenty minute drive to the energy room felt like two hours. The more time that past after the accident, the more my adrenaline wore off and the pain drastically…

“The Dacca Gauzes” by Agha Shahid Ali, is another more traditionally formatted piece (with easy to follow, short stanzas, that still pack a punch.) Ali’s piece is also personal, but at the same time takes on a view of society in that Ali writes of a community (that of the world outside of the United States and United Kingdom) that is not always heavily addressed in more contemporary English-language poetry. In the piece, readers are exposed to this via Ali’s grandmother, who comments to him on…

firmly in the middle while you close the cap or plug the container. • Check your drain site every day for signs of infection. Check for: • More redness, swelling, or pain. • Pus or a bad smell. • Cloudy drainage. • Tape the tube to your skin 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) below the place where the tube enters your body. This keeps the tape from pulling on any stitches (sutures) that you have. • Follow instructions from your health care provider about how to take care of your drain and change…

In this lab, we tested different experiments on a candle flame in order to better understand properties, combustion, and states of matter. We recorded many observations that could help us reach a conclusion using what we saw happen. When we observed the regular candle flame, we concluded that the heat of the flame vaporizes the liquid wax. Then, we blew this candle out and took a different lit candle into the smoke trail from the burnt out candle. The wax vapor in the smoke is combustible,…

the tubing connected to the vacuum machine. The foam is then covered with the polyurethane film dressing which makes it occlusive, machine is set per the prescribing physicians specifications and therapy is commenced. (Thomas, 2001, p. 1). What type of dressing is VAC replacing? Conventional wet to dry dressing are used for debridement of a wound bed. Once the saline soaked gauze dries, it is pulled and the dead along with healthy tissue is removed, causing pain to the patient when the site…

Periodontal regeneration surgery is often needed in order to save teeth that have been badly damaged by periodontal disease. After the surgery, it is common to experience a heavy amount of bleeding. The bleeding can last for a few days and can make it difficult to talk and eat immediately after surgery. If you keep the surgical area covered the bleeding should eventually stop on its own within the next few days. However, if your bleeding is a bit heavy this can be extremely uncomfortable.…

perforated his femoral artery. Although bystanders wrapped his leg in gauze he bled out on the scene waiting for an ambulance to arrive. This occurrence was a distant memory when I saw this news article on self-propelling particles. I was nonetheless intrigued by this new discovery. The research had only been published on the 2nd of October but was written in an engaging manner which was accessible…

Apply gloves. Step Four Make sure the patient is as comfortable as possible and if they are prone to fainting, it is best to lie them down. Then ask the patient if there is a specific place they normally have blood drawn from and then “apply the tourniquet 2-3 inches above the puncture site”. Then check to see if they a have a vein that can be used. If you can’t feel or palpate a vein, ask the patient to make a fist (this will sometimes make the vein more firm and easier to feel). Once you have…

This type of bandage is used to provide support for the ligaments and tendons located in the lower limb contralateral to the injured leg which is bearing excessive weight. This technique is similar to the previous minus the use for underlying wound dressing, inner conforming gauze layer, the wide adhesive elastic tape or tape around the top and bottom. When using a splint, the materials are very different. A splint is a rigid material that’s added to a limb to reinforced immobilization of a…

within 1% of plastic water in the Percentage Depth Dose curve (Kahler, Shi, West, and Nguyen, 2013). Another set of investigators also compared Play-Doh and Superflab, but they also compared them to wet gauze, when using Cobalt-60 teletherapy. The researchers found the resulting doses did not differ significantly between the three different bolus materials. Due to the results, Play-Doh and wet gauze could be an effective replacement for Superflab, when treating with Cobalt-60 photons (Walker,…
