What is a pneumatic turnstile?
Pneumatic turnstile is an inflatable cuff used to cut off blood in the limb. The turnstile serves several medical purposes to facilitate surgery and keep drugs in leakage to other areas of the body. The use of turnstiles on the limb keeps the risks that they can completely interrupt blood flow, so that during their use it will be necessary to take correct procedures and preventive measures.
This turnstile consists of an inflatable cuff, a gas source that inflates the cuff and an electronic device that monitors the pressure called a micro-controller. The micro-controller was developed in the 80s of Dr. James Mcewen, Ph.D. Its purpose was to help reduce random excessive secrecy, which can cause problems with blood flow.
The recommended time to stay on the patient varies according to age and level of activity, but most guides do not recommend more than an hour. The cuff will have to be released every half an hour to prevent dead nerves from blood deficiency. LacksLina TIC can also be built to a dangerous level if blood on the limb is cut off for too long.
Blood prevented from covering the area that is being operated on, pneumatic turnstiles help the operation quickly. They also help the surgeon see an area that he cuts better. Turnstile can also be used to spread the anesthetic or drug to the injection site to other areas of the body.
Pneumatic turnstile cuffs are also well extended. This prevents the muscles and nerves to be bruised or crushed by the pressure needed to interrupt the blood flow to the limb. The pressure tends to be the largest on the edge of the turnstile cuff, so it is important that they are made with respect to it. If the turnstile is applied incorrectly, the pressure may cause the loss of the entire limb. For optimal safety, individuals must consider the patient's health and the correct cuff size.
individualor they will have to check the pneumatic turnstile and calibrate it before each use. The turnstile can be disassembled for cleaning and sterilization. It will be necessary to pay attention not to be trapped inside the inflatable bladder, where it can form and become a health risk.
