‘Institution’ This document is a review of the article Cannulation Strategies and Pitfalls in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery by Ramchandani, Jabbari, Abu Saleh, and Ramlawi (2016). The article provided informative discussions on minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) and presented the different cannulation techniques. MICS is a very important development in the field of cardiothoracic medicine. It eliminates the inconveniences experienced during the median sternotomy and bypass circuit placement. The key in the success of MICS is the cannulation technique employed. Options for arterial cannulation in MICS include ascending aorta, femoral artery, and axillary artery. Each has its own advantages ...

Liposuction is the procedure of removing the fat from the body using the suction process. Small and thin cannula tubes when inserted into the skin suck the fat in a painless way. There are several techniques of liposuction that are safer and easier for the body. A few of them are tumescent liposuction, dry technique, wet technique, super wet technique, ultrasonic-assisted liposuction, Vaser liposuction, power-assisted technique, laser liposuction and water jet assisted liposuction. Tumescent liposuction makes use of a large amount of diluted anesthesia to cause swelling to the targeted tissue and remove the subcutaneous fat . It is the extremely safest ...

Syringes are the familiar glass or plastic items nurses use to inject vaccinations or medicines. Plastic disposable syringes represent a huge and growing market, projected as $12 billion worldwide in 2015 (GIA, 2008). First used in 1853, syringes might be considered a mundane, mature product. However, the syringe market is undergoing a disruptive change, which gives opportunities for new market entrants (Wood, 2013). A disruptive change is a technology or behavior change that totally upends the traditional market. For example, digital photography virtually eliminated the old film photographs. Great film companies like Kodak failed (Disalvo, 2011). New electronics companies like Panasonic grew rapidly. ...

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains the key technology for more complex cardiac operations. Despite tremendous progress since its introduction into clinical practice, CPB is still far from perfect and hence continuous efforts to study and improve hemocompatibilityof both conduct and components of CPB are crucial. The problem is cardiac surgery in conjunction with cardiopulmonary bypass in its current form restricts the patient to exit the hospital in 5-7 days. We know that conventional standard bypass triggers the release of inflammatory mediator which elongates patient’s length of stay. The Pinnacle System tricks red blood cells, platelets, proteins and inflammatory mediators ...

Introduction

Cardiovascular physiology involves the study of the circulatory system. It addresses more specifically the physiology of the heart and blood vessels hence the name cardio and vascular. Rabbits are generally nervous and non-aggressive and sociable with each other. In this laboratory, the primary experimental variables were the heart rate and arterial blood pressure. The main goal of this laboratory was to investigate the effects of different hormones on the rabbit’s blood pressure and heart rate by means of intravenous injections, nerve stimulation and respiratory alterations. We hypothesized that the catecholamines would increase the heart rate and blood pressure ...
