| ventilator | A ventilator is a machine which mechanically assists patients in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide (sometimes referred to as artificial respiration). (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| ventilator weaning | Techniques for effecting the transition of the respiratory-failure patient from mechanical ventilation to spontaneous ventilation, while meeting the criteria that tidal volume be above a given threshold (greater than 5 ml/kg), respiratory frequency be below a given count (less than 30 breaths/min), and oxygen partial pressure be above a given threshold (pao2 greater than 50mm hg). Weaning studies focus on finding methods to monitor and predict the outcome of mechanical ventilator weaning as well as finding ventilatory support techniques which will facilitate successful weaning. Present methods include intermittent mandatory ventilation, intermittent positive pressure ventilation, and mandatory minute volume ventilation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mechanical ventilator | <apparatus> Mechanically assisted breathing using a electrically powered device that forces oxygenated air into the lungs and then allow time for passive exhalation of air. (27 Sep 1997) |
| anaesthesia, closed-circuit | Inhalation anaesthesia where the gases exhaled by the patient are rebreathed as some carbon dioxide is simultaneously removed and anaesthetic gas and oxygen are added so that no anaesthetic escapes into the room. Closed-circuit anaesthesia is used especially with explosive anaesthetics to prevent fires where electrical sparking from instruments is possible. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaesthetic circuit | Equipment used during inhalation anaesthesia to regulate concentrations of inhaled gases; includes a reservoir bag and usually directional valves, breathing tubes, and a carbon dioxide absorber. (05 Mar 2000) |
| break-circuit | <physics> A key or other device for breaking an electrical circuit. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| Papez circuit | A long circuitous conduction chain in the mammalian forebrain, leading from the hippocampus by way of the fornix to the mammillary body and thence returning to the hippocampus by way of, sequentially, the anterior thalamic nuclei, cingulate gyrus, and parahippocampal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reverberating circuit | A theory of periodic conduction through the cerebral cortex of trains of impulses traveling in circuit's of neurons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circuit | The path or course of flow of cases or electric or other currents. Origin: L. Circuitus, a going round, fr. Circum, around, + eo, pp. Itus, to go (05 Mar 2000) |
| closed circuit method | A method for measuring oxygen consumption in which the subject rebreathes an initial quantity of oxygen through a carbon dioxide absorber and the decrease in the volume of oxygen being rebreathed is noted. (05 Mar 2000) |
| short-circuit | <physics> A circuit formed or closed by a conductor of relatively low resistance because shorter or of relatively great conductivity. <physics> To join, as the electrodes of a battery or dynamo or any two points of a circuit, by a conductor of low resistance. Origin: Short-circuited; Short-circuiting. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| open circuit method | A method for measuring oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production by collecting the expired gas over a known period of time and measuring its volume and composition. (05 Mar 2000) |
| local circuit theory | <physiology> A generally accepted model for neuronal conduction, by which depolarisation of a small region of a neuronal plasma membrane produces transmembrane currents in the neighbouring regions, tending to depolarise them. As the sodium channels are voltage gated, the depolarisation causes further channels to open, thus propagating the action potential. (18 Nov 1997) |
