Measurement: Standard Units

82.2K
Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Units and Standards of Measurement

A physical quantity is defined either by specifying its measurement method or by stating how it is calculated from other measurements. For example, consider a metallic cube. We might define its mass and dimensions by specifying methods for measuring them, such as using a weighing machine and a meter scale. Then, we could define the volume by stating that it is the cube of its side, and we could calculate the density as the mass divided by the volume.
Measurements of physical quantities are...

The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

Sound Intensity00:58

Sound Intensity

4.9K
The loudness of a sound source is related to how energetically the source is vibrating, consequently making the molecules of the propagation medium vibrate. To measure the loudness of a source, the physical quantity of interest is the intensity. This is defined as the energy emitted per unit of time per unit of area perpendicular to the sound wave's propagation direction. Since the total energy is greater if the source vibrates for a longer duration and over a larger area, dividing the...

Summary

Reducing blood loss in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) is crucial. A new push-pull blood sampling protocol minimizes blood loss from central venous catheters, preventing anemia and transfusions.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Intensive Care
  • Clinical Nursing
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Blood sampling in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) contributes significantly to patient blood loss.
  • Anemia and the need for blood transfusions are risks associated with excessive blood sampling in critically ill children.
  • Existing research on blood-sparing techniques like the push-pull method for central venous catheter (CVC) sampling shows variability in protocols and limited scope.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop, implement, and evaluate a standardized push-pull blood sampling protocol for use in the PICU.
  • To establish a reliable, waste-free blood sampling method to reduce iatrogenic blood loss in pediatric patients.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of a standardized push-pull technique for CVC blood sampling.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a standardized evidence-based push-pull blood sampling protocol.
  • Implementation of the protocol within a PICU setting.
  • Evaluation of the protocol's safety, reliability, and waste reduction for CVC sampling.

Main Results:

  • The standardized push-pull protocol was successfully implemented in the PICU.
  • The protocol demonstrated safe and reliable performance as a waste-free blood sampling method.
  • The technique effectively reduced sampling-related blood loss, mitigating risks of anemia and transfusion.

Conclusions:

  • A standardized push-pull blood sampling protocol can be safely and reliably implemented in the PICU.
  • This evidence-based practice project confirms the value of the push-pull method for minimizing blood loss in pediatric critical care.
  • The developed protocol offers a standardized, waste-free approach to CVC blood sampling, benefiting patient outcomes.
