Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature01:13

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

1.8K
Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure

3.1K
Direct Method
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...

Leveling Equipment01:18

Leveling Equipment

397
As leveling involves measuring vertical distances relative to a horizontal line of sight, it requires a graduated rod, called a level rod, for vertical measurements and an instrument called a level for a horizontal sight line. A level includes a high-powered telescope with a mechanism for leveling to ensure the line of sight is horizontal when the bubble in the spirit level is centered. Leveling rods, made of wood, metal, or fiberglass, are graduated in feet or meters and commonly used in two-...

Personal Protective Equipment01:20

Personal Protective Equipment

2.2K
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:

Handwashing I: Introduction and Types of Equipment

4.9K
Handwashing is hand hygiene with plain or antimicrobial soap and water to physically remove dirt, organic material, and microorganisms. However, it may not kill all microorganisms. The handwashing procedure requires a hand wash basin, liquid soap, paper towels, a domestic waste bin, and disposable nail cleaner as optional equipment.
Hand wash basins in clinical areas should have faucets that can be turned on and off without using the hands; that is, they should be non-touch or lever-operated....

Quality of Water01:19

Quality of Water

514
In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

    Area of Science:

    • Radiologic technology
    • Medical imaging quality assurance
    • Health professions education

    Background:

    • Mammography is a critical tool for breast cancer screening.
    • Consistent high-quality mammography requires skilled technologists.
    • Objective performance metrics are needed to guide technologist training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility of objectively evaluating mammography technologist performance.
    • To quantitatively measure technologist performance and compare results over time.
    • To determine if performance metrics can be used for quality improvement.

    Main Methods:

    • Evaluated 147 mammography examinations from 3 technologists before and after standardized positioning training.
    • Collected data on image quality factors and technologist actions during image acquisition.
    • Utilized a quality improvement method to track performance metrics.

    Main Results:

    • A methodology was demonstrated to evaluate image quality and technologist performance.
    • Specific improvements were noted in pectoral muscle length and inframammary fold inclusion post-training.
    • Posterior nipple line measurements improved, while compression force remained consistent.

    Conclusions:

    • Objective evaluation and feedback empower technologists to enhance mammography quality.
    • Controlled variables allow for measurable assessment of technologist performance.
    • Targeted interventions can lead to significant improvements in mammography service.
