Resuscitation when breathing stops

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

Need for artificial respiration, or, more correctly, artificial ventilation of the lungs occurs during asphyxia due to blockage of the respiratory tract by foreign bodies, drowning, electric shock, poisoning with various toxic substances or drugs, cerebral hemorrhage, traumatic shock. Artificial respiration is the only method of treatment for all conditions when the patient's spontaneous breathing cannot provide sufficient oxygen saturation of the blood.

Acute respiratory failure can also occur a second time - due to circulatory disorders, for example, during cardiac arrest.

Acute respiratory failure and its extreme degree - respiratory arrest - regardless of the cause, lead to a decrease in the oxygen content in the body (hypoxia) and excessive accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood and tissues (hypercapnia). As a result of hypoxia and hypercapnia, severe dysfunctions of all organs develop in the body, which can be eliminated only with timely resuscitation - artificial ventilation of the lungs.

There are various methods of artificial lung ventilation. Artificial respiration by blowing air can be carried out in several ways. The simplest of them is artificial ventilation of the lungs according to the "mouth-to-mouth" or "mouth-to-nose" method. Manual preparations for artificial respiration in the form of an elastic rubber bag with a mask have been developed.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Thin transistors for invisible electronic skin 29.06.2021

Scientists have become one step closer to creating a full-fledged electronic skin. To achieve this goal, a special nanocoating was developed that is only three atoms thick, making it virtually invisible to the human eye.

The technology was created by scientists from Stanford. In the future, it will allow the production of transistors with a length of less than 100 nanometers - several times less than the previous record. The breakthrough was achieved by replacing flexible plastic with silicon with an ultra-thin film of molybdenum disulfide coated with nano-coated gold electrodes. The output was a film only three atoms thick, created at a temperature of 815 degrees. The researchers argue that a traditional substrate would deform after reaching 360 degrees.

After the components have cooled, the film is applied to the substrate, and the finished transistor structure will be only 5 microns thick, or one-tenth the diameter of a human hair. Such e-skin is not demanding on power consumption and can withstand high currents at low voltage. It is important to consider that it meets all the requirements for such products: thin and almost invisible.

The next stage of research involves the integration of wireless technologies, which will allow you to connect to the network without additional equipment. In addition, there are plans to create a mass production technique, which in the future will allow us to talk about the emergence of highly efficient electronic skin, implants and other flexible devices.
