The career I have chosen was mechanical engineer. I choose this career because it contributes to many things and it has an essential role of shaping the future. I also choose this career because I have a interested in cars, video games, and other things of entertainment that are inspired by mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineers have a lot to do with the machines in your home like the refrigerator, thermostat, or your T.V. and many other things. I want to make machines as I will

status and assist in the titration of hyperventilation therapy, at the same time decreases the expense and time involved in frequent ABG sampling. Several factors such as changes in body position, temperature and pulmonary blood flow, as well as mechanical ventilation and cardiopulmonary bypass, can result in changes in the ventilation perfusion (V/Q)

Outcomes are used to evaluate care within the realm of healthcare. Advances in quality of care are related to feedback, which is performed in quality improvement (QI). According to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2011), “quality improvement consists of systematic and continuous actions that lead to measurable improvement in health care services and the health status of targeted patient groups” (p. 1). With the desire for

Case Study: Pneumonia and Pressure Ulcer Prevention in an Elderly MICU Patient June 6, 2012 Case Study: Pneumonia and Sepsis in an Elderly MICU Patient L.M. is a 75-year-old female who suffers from severe dementia and lives in a SNF. She was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2005 and as a result had a right upper and middle lobectomy. She also has a history of severe emphysema. L.M. has had several pneumonic infections and has an allergy to Pneumovax. She has a recurrent

study. “[W]e must not expect the same degree of accuracy in every department of study, but only so much precision as corresponds with the nature of the particular subject…” (Sterba, 59-60). This statement fascinates me. The area of study I am in is Mechanical Engineering Technology. That quote from the text could not be more prevalent in Engineering today. When performing engineering equations, the degree of accuracy cannot be carried out longer than that in which the data was recorded. If one does,

Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is a hospital acquired infection occurs in the intensive care unit (ICU) for the patients who are on mechanical ventilator. It further complicates the hospital course by extending the length of stay, increase the cost of treatment, and increases the mortality rate. It is estimated that about 1% to 3% patients on mechanical ventilator develops VAP per day. Compared to the previous years, the Chlorhexidine mouth care and other ventilator bundle strategies decreased

In our daily life we face challenges that we can relate to mechanical engineering, one of the common examples is the temperature in metal, which is the thermal expansion. Mechanical engineers use combination of material, human and economic resources to develop mechanical solutions that help satisfy the needs and wants of society. They must be confident and accurate when making decisions. Engineers try to look at the problems in the society and come with innovative ideas in order to solve the difficulties

In the technologically advancing world country that we live in, everything has to be fast and reliable. We want it right then and now, and if not we move on elsewhere. If the fast-food place has a noticeable line in the drive thru most people just go to another more “convenient” place. The growing inconvenience of commercial breaks has led to prosperity by the online media streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. If where we get our food and TV from has to be fast and reliable then the demand

Subglottic Suctioning: Preventing Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a hospital acquired infection which happens to patients who are intubated. It costs the hospital and the patient money. It is a deadly disease that can be prevented through the right type of interventions. Current practice generally depends on the hospital; most hospitals use a VAP bundle. According to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (2012) the VAP bundle consists of; head of the
