Rescue 8 is a syndicated American action adventure drama series about Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD) Rescue Squad 8. It premiered in 1958 and originally ran for two seasons with syndicated reruns continuing for almost a decade thereafter.
Aural/Ear syringe: used to flush out anything like ear wax or foreign bodies from the external ear Toynbee's auscultation tube: Otoscope/Auriscope: to examine the external auditory canal and ear drum; used during aural toileting, removal of wax, myringotomy, stapedectomy and to dilate the stenosis of canal Mouth gag - •Doyen's mouth gag
In deep saturation diving, the greater frequency of inner ear DCS after upwards or downwards excursions compared with decompression to sea level may be explained by arterialisation of venous bubbles across pulmonary or intracardiac shunts, and subsequent growth if they reach the inner ear.
Middle ear barotrauma (MEBT), also known to underwater divers as ear squeeze and reverse ear squeeze, is an injury caused by a difference in pressure between the external ear canal and the middle ear. It is common in underwater divers and usually occurs when the diver does not equalise sufficiently during descent or, less commonly, on ascent.
Further work involved decompression from greater depths to develop the Royal Navy's capacity for rescue from disabled submarines. [ 1 ] In 1960 he started work on decompression for compressed air workers , applicable to caisson and tunneling operations, and in 1966 published the Blackpool Decompression Tables , which became an internationally ...
VVAL 18 is a deterministic model that utilizes the Naval Medical Research Institute Linear Exponential (NMRI LE1 PDA) data set for calculation of decompression schedules. . Phase two testing of the US Navy Diving Computer produced an acceptable algorithm with an expected maximum incidence of decompression sickness (DCS) less than 3.5% assuming that occurrence followed the binomial distribution ...
Diver clearing ears Section of the human ear, the Eustachian tube is shown in colour. Ear clearing, clearing the ears or equalization is any of various maneuvers to equalize the pressure in the middle ear with the outside pressure, by letting air enter along the Eustachian tubes, as this does not always happen automatically when the pressure in the middle ear is lower than the outside pressure.
A resuscitator is a device using positive pressure to inflate the lungs of an unconscious person who is not breathing, in order to keep them oxygenated and alive. [citation needed] There are three basic types: a manual version (also known as a bag valve mask) consisting of a mask and a large hand-squeezed plastic bulb using ambient air, or with supplemental oxygen from a high-pressure tank.
