Humidification, types, methods, supplies, indications.

Image
 Air is moistened because it is passed through the water vapour, Patient is asked to inspire the air by face mask or by the mouth piece.  • Normally air passing through nose& pharynx is continuously moistening the respiratory mucous, if this is inefficient cilial action is impaired & secretions are viscid so need of humidifier to loosen viscid & thick secretions.  • Humidification is moistening of air & gases, this is normal function of upper respiratory tract if this is inefficient then artificial humidifier is required Indications - 1) Patient with tracheostomy/ endotracheal tube   2) patient with oxygen mask       3) when thick secretions Choice of humidifier Ultrasonic type - patient with dry gas Disposal type - patient with respiratory failure like in chronic bronchitis, asthma, emphysema  Method Humidification given by wide boring tube,,,,, short period given before chest clearance done for patient who is not intu...

Head injuries,symptoms, causes, pathology, types, examination, treatment, physio

 It is the insult to the brain caused by external physical force leading to altered conscious levels, cognitive problems as well as motor & sensory deficits.  Commonly called traumatic brain injuries.  Head injuries have increased due to increased traffic and decreased traffic sense. Most of the cases are proved to be fatal death.  Incidence:-  High Head injuries from road traffic accidents are most common in young males.  RTA's although constituting only about 25% of all patients with head injury, are the cause of more severe injuries.  RTA's contribute to 60%of deaths from head injury, of these half die before reaching hospital.  Causes of head injuries:- Road traffic accidents (RTA's)  Gunshot Riots  Blow or hit on the head Fall from heights.  Pathology:- Primary brain damage - Occuring at impact Secondary brain damage - Occuring due to ongoing neuronal damage, haematoma, brain swelling, Ischaemia Or infection.  Types of...

Hot packs(hydrocollator pack) def, procedure, effect &uses, indications, contraindications

Image
 hot   packs are the packs which are immersed in a apparatus called hydrocollator, they provide superficial moist heat to the part where applied Or externally to an injured body part to relieve inflammation or directly on exposed area that needs treatment Procedure:-  They are stored in a thermostatically controlled water bath inside the equipment, they contain the substance which absorb heat like silica or gel, temperature inside the hydrocollator ranges between 65-80°c, Aim of hydrocollator pack is to rise the body temperature at 45-45°c, hydrocollator pack are available in various sizes & shapes it is chosen on the basis of area treated, Packs are taken out of apparatus by means of tongs and wrapped inside a towel 6-8 layers of towel is made around pack, total treatment time is around 8-10 minutes.  Indications :- pain, muscle spasm, bursitis, inflammatory conditions, adhesions.  Contraindications :-  Impaired skin sensation, open wounds, recent hemo...
