An Infusion Pump Is A Medical Device That Delivers Fluids

An infusion pump is a medical device that delivers fluids, such as nutrients and medications,
into a patient's body in controlled amounts. Infusion pumps are in widespread use in clinical
settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, and in the home.
Nurses in the Central Monitoring Station (CMS) function as a consultant for the
cardiopulmonary technicians who monitor and interpret cardiac physiological data, detecting
and documenting any changes in heart rhythm and arrhythmias according to department
standards.
Diathermy is a therapeutic treatment that uses electric currents (radio and sound waves) to
generate heat in layers of your skin below the surface. Diathermy means “deep heating.” This
treatment helps relax muscles and joints, reduce inflammation and swelling, and improve
blood
Interaction with tissue causes the ultrasound energy to diminish and become weaker as it
penetrates deeper. This is also known as attenuation and is similar to sound that becomes
fainter when one moves further away from it. You will read more about attenuation when we
discuss 2D imaging and artifacts.
Telemetry is the automatic measurement and wireless transmission of data from remote
sources. In general, telemetry works in the following way: Sensors at the source measure
either electrical data, such as voltage and current, or physical data, such as temperature and
pressure.
medical and surgical technique involving the production of heat in a part of the body by high-
frequency electric currents, to stimulate the circulation, relieve pain, destroy unhealthy tissue,
or cause bleeding vessels to clot.
The surgical diathermy performs its function by the application of high density radio
frequency current which can be used to cut or coagulate tissue. Its improper use can result in
electrical burns and even electrocution.
➨The microwave diathermy technique and its machine operation is very simple. It does not
require pads, electrodes, capacitor pads or inductive coils as in short wave diathermy.
➨It produces much more localized and concentrated heating effect than short wave
diathermy.
➨It provides more shallow tissue heating effect depending on type of tissue involved. It is
strongly absorbed by tissues with high fluid content such as muscle or blood and hence they
are heated most with superficial depth of 0.7 cm. It is penetrated to greater depth by tissues
with low fluid content such as fat or bones.
➨The patient does not form part of circuit in microwave diathermy and hence no tuning is
necessary as in short wave diathermy.
➨It is very comfortable treatment method for the patients.
➨No overheating if precautions are followed.
➨Low frequency microwaves causes selective heating in muscles.
Drawbacks or disadvantages of Microwave diathermy
Following are the drawbacks or disadvantages of Microwave diathermy:
➨No metal should be within 4 feet of microwave diathermy device, since it will interfere
with the signal.
➨Various factors affect heat absorption e.g. water content, frequency, distance, laws of
reflection, refraction, absorption and inverse square.
➨It is not suitable for deep structures.
➨Only one aspect of the body can be treated at a time.
➨There is risk of skin burns if treatment procedures and safety guidelines not followed
properly.
➨Patients should not look at the applicator machine during treatment. Failing so will result
into burns. It is recommended to use microwave goggles by the patient.
