Hemostasis

Introduction Craniosynostosis is defined as a premature closure of one or more calvarial sutures. Surgical intervention is indicated to improve appearance and prevent complications of increased intracranial pressure such as cognitive impairment, auditory and visual loss. Correction of craniosynostosis includes various surgical techniques, some of which are associated with substantial blood loss. Cranial vault remodeling is the historical gold standard for treating this condition and yields…

These insulating properties arise from water having a high boiling point. Therefore allowing the trapping of enough heat to maintain a constant body temperature needed for hemostasis. This high boiling point also creates another important means of regulating temperature by cooling the body down. Because if there is an extreme amount of heart radiating into the body the water will simply evaporate taking heat energy with it.…
