| 영문 | hyperbaric oxygenation therapy | 한글 | 고압산소요법 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대기압보다 높은 기압환경을 인공적으로 만들어 그 안에서 고농도의 산소를 흡입시키는 요법. 한국에서 연탄가스로 대표되는 일산화탄소의 급성중독의 치료에 많이 이용된 것으로, 보통 3대기압 정도로 가압된 고압산소실이나 고압산소탱크 속에 환자를 놓고 전신에 산소를 흡입시킨다. 고압실은 크고 작은 여러 가지가 있으며, 구조상 1실식-2실식-다실식이 있다. 가압 가스의 종류에는 산소-공기-혼합 가스등이 있고, 2~3 대기압 또는 그 이상의 고압 환경을 만든다. 임상적으로 응용범위가 넓어서 기계적 효과에 의하여 잠수부병이나 창자관마비에 의한 창자폐색 치료 등에 유효하고, 가스궤저 등의 무산소성 세균감염에서도 이용된다. 또 산소운반효과에 의하여 일산화탄소-심근경색-뇌색전증-출혈쇼크에 의한 급성의 조직산소결핍의 치료에 유효하다. 또 암의 방사선요법에 병용하면 이 요법으로 암세포의 분열이 왕성해져, 세포분열 중인 세포에 방사선을 조사함으로써 분열능력을 없애는 데 유효하여 고압산소흡입조사법이라고 한다. |

| 영문 | symptomatic therapy | 한글 | 대증요법 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 병의 원인을 찾아 없애기 곤란한 상황에서, 겉으로 나타난 병의 증상에 대응하여 처치를 하는 치료법. 열이 높을 때에 얼음주머니를 대거나 해열제를 써서 열을 내리게 하는 따위가 이에 속한다. |

| microscopically controlled surgery | Minimally invasive surgery, operative procedure performed in a manner derived to result in the smallest possible incision or no incision at all; includes laparoscopic, laparoscopically assisted, thoracoscopic, and endoscopic surgical procedures. Synonym: Mohs' chemosurgery. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| condensing, controlled extraction turbines | A controlled turbine that bleeds off (condenses) part of the main stream flow at one (single extraction) or two (double extraction) points. Used when process steam is required at pressures below the inlet pressure and above the exhaust pressure. (05 Dec 1998) |
| controlled clinical trial | A clinical trial involving one or more test treatments, at least one control treatment, specified outcome measures for evaluating the studied intervention, and a bias-free method for assigning patients to the test treatment. The treatment may be drugs, devices, or procedures studied for diagnostic, therapeutic, or prophylactic effectiveness. Control measures include placebos, active medicine, no-treatment, dosage forms and regimens, historical comparisons, etc. When randomization using mathematical techniques, such as the use of a random numbers table, is employed to assign patients to test or control treatments, the trial is characterised as a randomised controlled trial. However, trials employing treatment allocation methods such as coin flips, odd-even numbers, patient social security numbers, days of the week, medical record numbers, or other such pseudo- or quasi-random processes are simply designated as controlled clinical trials.

| controlled hypotension | Deliberate acute reduction of arterial blood pressure to reduce operative blood loss by pharmacologic means during anaesthesia and surgery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| controlled mechanical ventilation | Artificial ventilation in which all inspirations are provided by positive pressure applied to the airway. Synonym: continuous positive pressure breathing, continuous positive pressure ventilation, intermittent positive pressure breathing, intermittent positive pressure ventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| controlled respiration | Intermittent application of mechanically or manually generated positive pressure to gas(es) in or about the airway as a means of forcing gases into the lungs in the absence of spontaneous ventilatory efforts. Synonym: controlled respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| controlled substance | A substance subject to the Controlled Substances Act (1970), which regulates the prescribing and dispensing, as well as the manufacturing, storage, sale, or distribution of substance's assigned to five schedules according to their 1) potential for or evidence of abuse, 2) potential for psychic or physiologic dependence, 3) contributing a public health risk, 4) harmful pharmacologic effect, or 5) role as a precursor of other controlled substance's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| controlled thermonuclear fusion | <radiobiology> The process in which light nuclei, heated to a high temperature in a confined region, undergo fusion reactions under controlled conditions, with associated release of energy which may be harnessed for useful purposes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| controlled thermonuclear research | General label for research on controlled thermonuclear fusion reactions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| controlled trial | A clinical study in which one group of participants receives an experimental drug while another group receives either a placebo or an approved standard therapy. When participants do not know which group they are in, the trial is blinded. See: Double-Blind. (09 Oct 1997) |
| controlled ventilation | Intermittent application of mechanically or manually generated positive pressure to gas(es) in or about the airway as a means of forcing gases into the lungs in the absence of spontaneous ventilatory efforts. Synonym: controlled respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pressure-controlled respirator | A respirator that provides a predetermined pressure to gases during inhalation, the volume of gas moved being variable, depending upon resistance. (05 Mar 2000) |
