Precipitation Gravimetry01:03

Precipitation Gravimetry

16.1K
Precipitation gravimetry is based on converting an analyte into a sparingly soluble precipitate, which is separated by filtration and weighed. An ideal precipitate should be pure, insoluble, of known composition, and easily filtered from the reaction mixture.
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...

Cardiac Catheterization IV: Nursing Management

1.1K
Nursing responsibilities before cardiac catheterization include:Assess for allergies and establish baseline health status.Before cardiac catheterization, assess the patient for allergies to contrast dye. Perform a comprehensive baseline assessment, including vital signs, heart and breath sounds, and a neurovascular assessment of the extremities, noting distal pulses, skin color, and temperature. Instruct the patient to fast for 8-12 hours before the procedure. Evaluate baseline laboratory...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

5.5K
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

931
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopaedic Surgery
    • Allergology
    • Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Metal allergies, especially to nickel, can complicate orthopaedic device implantation.
    • Patient history of reactions to jewelry or buttons may indicate a predisposition to metal hypersensitivity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish best practices for identifying and managing patients with potential metal allergies undergoing orthopaedic procedures.
    • To provide guidance on implant selection and diagnostic testing for metal hypersensitivity in orthopaedic patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Pre-operative screening for metal allergy history, including specific questioning about nickel sensitivity.
    • Recommendations for confirmatory allergy testing in elective cases, involving dermatologists or allergists.
    • Guidelines for implant selection based on surgical urgency, confirmed allergies, or patient preference regarding testing.

    Main Results:

    • Non-nickel implants are a viable and available option for patients with confirmed allergies or those who decline testing.
    • Metal allergy testing can be a valuable diagnostic tool for painful joint arthroplasty when other causes are excluded.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating metal allergy screening into routine orthopaedic pre-operative protocols is essential.
    • Personalized implant selection and timely allergy testing can mitigate risks and improve patient management in orthopaedic surgery.
