| vacuum | Origin: L, fr. Vacuus empty. See Vacuous. 1. <physics> A space entirely devoid of matter (called also, by way of distinction, absolute vacuum); hence, in a more general sense, a space, as the interior of a closed vessel, which has been exhausted to a high or the highest degree by an air pump or other artificial means; as, water boils at a reduced temperature in a vacuum. 2. The condition of rarefaction, or reduction of pressure below that of the atmosphere, in a vessel, as the condenser of a steam engine, which is nearly exhausted of air or steam, etc.; as, a vacuum of 26 inches of mercury, or 13 pounds per square inch. Vacuum brake, a kind of continuous brake operated by exhausting the air from some appliance under each car, and so causing the pressure of the atmosphere to apply the brakes. <medicine> Vacuum pan, a glass tube provided with platinum electrodes and exhausted, for the passage of the electrical discharge; a Geissler tube. Vacuum valve, a safety valve opening inward to admit air to a vessel in which the pressure is less than that of the atmosphere, in order to prevent collapse. Torricellian vacuum. See Torricellian.

| vacuum extraction, obstetrical | Removal of the foetus from the uterus or vagina at or near the end of pregnancy with a metal traction cup that is attached to the foetus' head. Negative pressure is applied and traction is made on a chain passed through the suction tube. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vacuum flask | <apparatus> A glass vessel, often silvered, with two walls, the space between which is evacuated; used for maintaining materials at constant temperature or, more usually, at low temperature. Synonym: vacuum flask. (05 Mar 2000) |

| vacuum pan | A device for growing crystals from solutions by gradually lowering the pressure within the sealed container holding the liquid. (09 Oct 1997) |
| vacuum tube | A glass tube from which the air has been removed, containing two or more electrodes, between which passes an electrical current or spark; used in the production of X-rays, or to control circuits. Previously in wide use, the vacuum tube has been supplanted by transistors in electronic circuits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal delivery | <obstetrics> A obstetric procedure that involves the delivery of the foetus through an abdominal incision. Cesarian sections account for about one fifth of all births in the us. Indications include: failure to progress, foetal distress, cephalopelvic disproportion (baby's too big for birth canal), placenta previa, placental abruption, placental insufficiency, breech baby, active genital herpes, multiple gestation, preeclampsia and excessive scarring from previous surgeries. The average hospital stay is about 4 days. The maternal death rate with cesarian section is three times higher than with natural delivery. (27 Sep 1997) |
| assisted cephalic delivery | Extraction of a foetus that presents by the head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| breech delivery | <obstetrics> The extraction or expulsion of the foetus which occurs buttocks or feet first. (27 Sep 1997) |
