Care of the injured and sick. Medical banks

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

Medical banks - round glass vessels with a capacity of 30-70 ml, with thickened smooth edges and an expanded bottom. This is one of the means of influencing blood and lymph circulation: by causing local reflex expansion of blood vessels, cups have a resolving, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. In places where cans are applied, small hemorrhages form as a result of rupture of blood vessels. Blood decay products in these areas are absorbed, providing a stimulating effect on metabolism.

Indications for the use of cans are inflammation of the bronchi, lungs, pleura; inflammatory diseases of muscles and nerves; the presence of congestion in the lungs with heart disease; bronchospasm. Banks are contraindicated for persons with damaged skin, with hypersensitivity of the skin, the presence of skin diseases in the places where the cans are applied, as well as with a tendency to bleeding, with pulmonary tuberculosis, tumors, severe exhaustion of the patient, and mental agitation.

Banks are placed on the back area to the right and left of the spine, on the lateral surfaces of the chest, on the front surface of the chest on the right. Banks are not placed on the region of the heart, mammary glands, sternum and spine.

Before using jars, make sure that they are clean, dry, and their edges are not damaged.

The procedure for the procedure is as follows. A set of cans (20-25 pieces), a bottle of ethyl alcohol, matches, cotton wool, a jar of petroleum jelly, a metal knitting needle with a threaded end are prepared on the bedside table by the patient's bed.

The patient is placed on his stomach or on his side, the skin of the back is smeared with petroleum jelly. Then the cotton wool wound around the needle is moistened with alcohol, the cotton wool is slightly squeezed out so that the alcohol does not drain from it. Next, the cotton wool is set on fire, holding the knitting needle in the right hand, instantly circle the inner surface of the jar, which is held in the left hand, with a blue flame. Then the entire circumference of the hole is applied to the jar to the body. Due to the rarefied air formed in the bank, the skin is drawn into its lumen, and the bank is tightly attached to the patient's body. The distance between the installed banks should be 2-3 mm.

Having put the banks, the patient is well covered. After 10-15 minutes, the jars are quickly removed: with one hand, the jar is slightly tilted to the side, and with the index finger of the other hand, they press on the skin so that air enters the lumen: while the jar leaves itself. The skin is wiped with a dry towel, underwear is put on and the patient is recommended to remain covered and in bed for another half an hour. After each procedure, the jars are thoroughly washed and wiped.

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. ... >>

The chamber is smaller than the thickness of a human hair 12.08.2021

The University of Glasgow has created a fiber optic cable as thin as a human hair that can transmit accurate XNUMXD images in real time, thus creating a tiny flexible camera.

The system developed by British scientists is several orders of magnitude smaller than the existing cameras used on fiber optic cable. The device uses a cable 40 centimeters long and 50 micrometers in diameter (the thickness of a human hair ranges from 80 to 110 microns). It can take 3D images of objects up to 2,5 meters away.

The new technique is based on the technology of extended microscopy, which is based on the method of suppression of spontaneous emission (STED), which allows achieving nanoscale resolution by overcoming the diffraction limit of optical microscopes. The development of this technique brought the author of the invention, Stefan Hell, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014.
