+3+2Know more about it
Root canal treatment is performed by a dentist to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. The term "root canal" comes from the cleaning of the canals inside a tooth's root. Decades ago, root canal treatments often were painful. With dental advances and local anesthetics, most people have little if any pain during a root canal. Living with a decayed tooth is probably more painful. Root canal alternatives include extracting the damaged tooth, no further treatment, or replacing the tooth with a dental implant, bridge, or removable partial denture.

Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib) and non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia (V-Tach). A defibrillator delivers a dose of electric current (often called a counter-shock) to the heart. Although not fully understood, this process depolarizes a large amount of the heart muscle, ending the arrhythmia. Subsequently, the body's natural pacemaker in the sinoatrial node of the heart is able to re-establish normal sinus rhythm. A heart that is on asystole (flatline) cannot be restarted by a defibrillator, but would be treated by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Radiographers complete a university bachelor's degree in medical imaging, medical radiation science, or technology, which takes 3 or 4 years. Another option is a 2-year master's degree. Students doing the 3-year bachelor's degree also need to do a supervised practice program.

A stethoscope is a device healthcare providers use to listen to sounds inside your body. These sounds tell your provider a lot about many different aspects of your health — including how well your heart and lungs are working and whether blood is flowing normally through your arteries. Parts of a traditional (analog) stethoscope include a chest piece, simple tubing, and tips that go into your provider’s ears.

Dialysis is a procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly. It often involves diverting blood to a machine to be cleaned. Normally, the kidneys filter the blood, removing harmful waste products and excess fluid and turning these into urine to be passed out of the body. There are 2 main types of dialysis: haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.

There are 4 ways to take (measure) a temperature: under the armpit (axillary method), in the mouth (oral method), in the ear (tympanic method), and in the rectum (rectal method). A digital thermometer is best for taking temperatures by the armpit and mouth. Fever strips and pacifier thermometers do not give an accurate temperature. Do not use a mercury thermometer. Mercury is toxic and the thermometer could break.

A tracheostomy may be carried out to deliver oxygen to the lungs if you're unable to breathe normally after an injury or accident, or because your muscles are very weak. It also allows you to breathe if an airway is blocked, for example, by a swelling, a tumor, or something stuck in the throat. A tracheostomy will usually be planned in advance and carried out in a hospital. But sometimes it may need to be done in an emergency outside of the hospital, such as at the scene of an accident.

An antipyretic is a substance that reduces fever. Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override a prostaglandin-induced increase in temperature. The body then works to lower the temperature, which results in a fever reduction. The most common antipyretics in the US are usually ibuprofen and aspirin, which are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used primarily as anti-inflammatories and analgesics (pain relievers), but which also have antipyretic properties; and paracetamol (acetaminophen), an analgesic without anti-inflammatory properties.

In a mercury thermometer, a glass tube is filled with mercury, and a standard temperature scale is marked on the tube. With temperature changes, the mercury expands and contracts, and the temperature can be read from the scale. Mercury thermometers can determine body, liquid, and vapor temperature. Some states and municipalities have passed laws or ordinances barring the manufacture, sale, or distribution of mercury fever thermometers. That is to help remove the threat of thermometer breakage and the subsequent release of mercury vapor indoors.

A bariatric ambulance is an ambulance vehicle modified to carry the severely obese. They have extra-wide interiors and carry "bariatric stretchers" and specialized lifting gear that is capable of carrying very large patients. They are required as a result of the increasing prevalence of obesity in the general population. Currently, there is no standardized weight capacity for bariatric ambulances, and requirements may vary in populations according to epidemiological demand. However, they are typically designed to carry weights between 770 lb and up to at least 990 lb.
