HemothoraxData

A hemothorax is an abnormal collection of blood in the pleural space that separates the lung from the chest wall. More...

	HemothoraxData_
	ImpairedAlveolarExchangeExacerbationData
	Generic way to specify the effectivness of alveolar exchange.
	IntubationData
	Insertion of tube or adjuct into the patient's airway.
	IntubationData_eType
	Enumeration Types of Intubation/Airway Adjuncts.
	MechanicalVentilationData
	Mechanically breathing for the patient, such as with a squeeze bag or other equipment.
	NeedleDecompressionData
	A 14-16G intravenous caninula is inserted into the second rib-space in the mid-clavcular line. The needle is advanced until air can be aspirated into a connecting syringe. The needle is withdrawn and the caninula is left to allow air flow out of the pleural space. This effectively converts the closed pneumothorax into an open pneumothorax.
	PericardialEffusionData
	Pericardial effusion ("fluid around the heart") is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity. Because of the limited amount of space in the pericardial cavity, fluid accumulation leads to an increased intrapericardial pressure which can negatively affect heart function. A pericardial effusion with enough pressure to adversely affect heart function is called cardiac tamponade. Pericardial effusion usually results from a disturbed equilibrium between the production andre-absorption of pericardial fluid, or from a structural abnormality that allows fluid to enter the pericardial cavity. Normal levels of pericardial fluid are from 15 to 50 mL.
	PneumoniaExacerbationData
	Worsen the effects of the Pneumonia condition.
	PulmonaryShuntExacerbationData
	Pulmonary shunt is when the alveoli of the lungs are perfused with blood as normal, but ventilation (the supply of air) fails to supply the perfused region.
	RespiratoryFatigueData
	Respiratory muscle weakness caused by excessive effort relative to the strength and endurance of the muscles.
	RespiratoryMechanicsConfigurationData
	Update the parameters of the Respiratory mechanics.
	RespiratoryMechanicsModificationData
	Modify the Respiratory mechanics.
	SubstanceBolusData
	An administration of a substance that is given all at one time to raise its concentration in blood to an effective level.

	TensionPneumothoraxData
	A pneumothorax is an abnormal collection of air or gas in the pleural space that separates the lung from the chest wall. Like pleural effusion (liquid buildup in that space), pneumothorax may interfere with normal breathing.
	TubeThoracostomyData
	Tube thoracostomy is the insertion of a tube (chest tube) into the pleural cavity to drain air, blood, bile, pus, or other fluids.
	UrinateData
	Empty the bladder of its contents.
