Summary
Distant pulse-wave lithotripsy effectively treats urolithiasis in over 3000 patients, including flying staff, with a success rate exceeding 96%. Modern lithotripters safely break down urinary and biliary calculi without harming surrounding tissues.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Biomedical Engineering
Context:
- The 7th Central Military Clinical Aviation Hospital has integrated four pulse-wave lithotripsy devices into clinical practice.
- Distant pulse-wave lithotripsy is a primary treatment for urolithiasis, particularly among flying personnel.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pulse-wave lithotripsy for treating urolithiasis in a large patient cohort.
- To assess the impact of modern lithotripters on biliary and urinary calculi destruction.
Summary:
- Over 3035 patients, including 358 flying staff, underwent distant pulse-wave lithotripsy.
- The treatment demonstrated a high efficiency rate of over 96% for urolithiasis.
- Modern lithotripters effectively destroy calculi without adverse effects on organs and tissues.
Impact:
- Pulse-wave lithotripsy has become a key treatment modality for urolithiasis in flying staff.
- The clinical application of pulse-wave therapy has been successfully expanded.
- This technology offers a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for kidney and gallstones.

01:30Pulse rhythm
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

01:11Pulse Assessment Sites
Pulse assessment sites are crucial in evaluating a patient's cardiovascular health. By assessing the pulsations of arteries at specific anatomical locations, healthcare professionals can gather valuable information about blood flow, heart rate, and peripheral circulation. Understanding these pulse assessment sites is essential for conducting comprehensive cardiovascular evaluations and monitoring patients' overall health. These sites are strategically chosen due to the accessibility and...
01:26Flail Chest-II
Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

01:24Chest Physiotherapy
Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a therapeutic technique used in respiratory care to improve ventilation, clear bronchial secretions, and enhance the efficiency of respiratory muscles. This therapy includes three primary procedures: postural drainage, percussion, and vibration. It can be performed on spontaneously breathing patients and those who are intubated and mechanically ventilated.
Purpose
CPT is primarily used for patients with excessive bronchial secretions who have difficulty clearing...

01:25Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management
Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
