]]> Hyperbaric oxygen therapy or simply Oxygen Therapy, as it is called, involves exposing the body to higher concentration of oxygen at a pressure that is greater than usual, for the purpose of quicker healing of wounds. Wounds generally need oxygen to heal properly and exposing them to a higher concentration may speed healing. The wound healing management algorithm that is applied during the hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves clinical outcomes and, at the same time, remarkably reduce expenditures.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

The science of wound healing says that oxygen plays key nutritional and cell signal roles throughout all the phases of wound healing and hyperbaric doses of oxygen are known to increase hypoxic wound oxygen tensions to normal or even supraphysiologic levels. In lay mans language, it increases the catalysts that help heal a wound faster. In response to higher oxygen levels, important cellular functions like angiogenesis, fibroplasia, epithelialization, and bacterial killing ensue at a more swift pace. In wound healing, if the bacterial burden is removed and a preliminary matrix is formed, it enables a rapid fibrous tissue formation and epithelial coverage. This is exactly what the high concentration of oxygen, supplied during the Oxygen therapy does. Removing bacterial burden and allowing resolution of any inflammation, which in turn facilitates the production of matrix, division of cells and the ultimate wound closure.

Oxygen therapy becomes a must in cases, where wound healing is impaired or dysfunctional. Where the patient is suffering from common diseases like diabetes, peripheral arterial or venous vascular disease, radiation and other situations, Oxygen Therapy becomes almost indispensable. New therapies of antibacterial control like the oxygen therapy are becoming more and more relevant as mankind is learning more about bacterial resistance to antimicrobial therapy every day. A problem that exists with respect to chronic wounds is that after a prolonged period of inflammation, there is generally poor quality of healing that operates. For instance, a wound that has not closed within a 3-week period from the date of its opening, has a 70% chance of developing excessive fibrotic hypertrophic scars. Tissue healing of a higher quality and durability can be achieved with better oxygenation of the wound as it results in faster extermination of the tissue from the inflammatory state. For instance, below knee level limb amputations have shown different healing rates at different pressures of oxygen at the amputation site:

Oxygen Therapy: The Procedure

In case of an emergency situation, where the wound of a patient is critical, an immediate and thorough examination of airway patency, breathing and circulation is crucial, and in perilous illness such as peri-arrest, high-concentration oxygen should be administered via a face mask at 10-15L/min if the patient is hypoxic, with unceasing intensive care of pulse oximetry and treatment of a proper target range once the patient’s condition is stable.

There are a number of Oxygen delivery systems, classified as high pressure and low-pressure systems, that can be used to administer this high concentration oxygen and the selection as to which one should be used in a particular case, must be based on optimal prevention and treatment hypoxemia and efficient prevention complications of hyper-oxygenation.

Here are a few masks that one has to choose from, along with their utility:

Along with these masks, an important part of the HBOT of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is an efficient anesthesia delivery system, such as the Bain Circuit. A Bain circuits is typically an anesthesia delivery system, which ensures that there is no rebreathing of the exhaled air, which is a must for HBOT to be effective and optimal.

]]> Pregnancy is important to both the unborn baby and the mother. The duration requires maximum care to ensure the safety of the fetus. It is, therefore, necessary to seek the right information whenever you want to receive medical procedures. And this post will help you understand if dental anesthesia is safe during pregnancy.

But first, you need to know that there are various forms of anesthesia that you can receive from your dentist. Each treatment gives a distinct effect on your body. So, the question remains if it is safe for you to accept anesthesia when going for your dental treatment as an expectant mother.

To begin with, the process of tooth extraction and other procedures are seriously painful. They will most definitely require anesthesia to ease the pain during the procedure.

It is common knowledge that various types of medicine can easily cross the placenta and reach the growing fetus. If it happens, you may end up harming your unborn baby. And this explains why this question is common among expectant mothers, caregivers, and interested parties.

For instance, in the past, dentists used to avoid the use of anesthetic treatments during pregnancy to carry out their dental procedures. But, it turned out that, the procedures caused too much pain and stress on the mother.

Here are some guidelines you can use to ensure that you (the expectant mother) and the unborn baby are both safe while you treat dental conditions.

1. Avoid Dental Treatments in the First Trimester

Unless is it critical and emergency, you should try as much as you can to avoid going for dental treatments for the first three months of your pregnancy. But if you have an emergency, your dentist will advise on the best way forward to treat your condition and sustain the health of the baby.

In a post by the BBC network, however, it is risky to use even painkillers like paracetamol during pregnancy. The report shows that the risk is even greater during the second trimester. They said that using the medication on expectant mothers has an adverse effect on unborn baby boys.

2. The Use of Local Anesthetics

Local anesthetics means the use of anesthetic drugs that only numbs the place where the operation is going to take place. This form of treatment is the best choice for dental care and treatment during pregnancy. It does not affect your normal body functioning or cause any part of you to stop working effectively. It also has no negative effect on unborn babies.

Local anesthetics should help you ease the pain when receiving necessary dental treatments. This form of anesthesia mothers has no effect on the baby when induced to nursing mothers. You can, therefore, receive normal doses of anesthetics after child delivery.

3. Sedation May be of Help

Sedation is the use of drugs to make the patient drowsy and to drift off their anxiety. There are many sedative options a dentist can use to help you ease the anxiety during a dental operation. One of the common options is the use of acupuncture. Music can also help you stay relaxed while receiving your treatments.

Nitrous oxide and diazepam are some of the things to avoid during pregnancy. The latter, for example, should be avoided as early as possible before you get pregnant. Your dentist can use their precordial stethoscope to check your heartbeat and breathing frequency to determine if the sedation they give you helps you to calm down before they do any tooth operation.

4. General Anesthesia is a Big Risk

In surgery, general anesthesia is used to make your whole body unconscious so that you are not aware of what is going on. Your dentist may want to apply general anesthesia to enable them to have uninterrupted access to your teeth and to work on your them effortlessly.

Before you receive a general anesthetic drug for your dental operation, it is ideal for your dentist to know that you are expectant. It will help them to choose the right medicine that will not affect your unborn baby. Do so even if you are not pregnant but planning to be pregnant soon.

Summary

It is common for many women to avoid going for dental treatments because of pregnancy. The suffering and pain that come with dental problems can cause problems on your general health and that of the unborn baby.

You should go for treatment, but let your dentist know about your condition or plans to have a baby soon. This will help them to make the right choice of drugs to administer for the operation. If possible, have all dental treatments like dental panorama, cleaning, tooth extraction, etc. early before you become pregnant for easier management and care for the pregnancy.

The post 5 Reasons Why You Need Outdoor Sandals appeared first on FPINFO.IN.

]]> If you spend a lot of your summer doing outdoor activities like hiking and camping there’s a good chance you’ve wondered about getting the right pair of sandals. These types of activities are demanding, and you do need the right footwear, but with warm weather here for the season you’ve probably also wished your feet weren’t sweating to death in hot shoes. 

If you haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about the types of outdoor sandals available, now is a good chance to do that. Having a great fitting pair of outdoor sandals from Viakix.com that fit you well and let your feet feel some air this summer can make a huge difference in your outdoor activity experiences. 

Still wondering if you really do need outdoor sandals or not? Stick around. You might be surprised at the reasons you haven’t considered for buying a pair of sandals that work for your hiking or camping adventure. Here are five reasons why you need outdoor sandals. 

1. They’re Fast Drying

Spending a lot of time hiking means you’re probably going to come across water at some point during your hike. If it’s just a puddle you can probably manage to avoid getting wet, but if you’re more adventurous you might not be able to avoid every water source in the area. Sandals made for outdoor activities often have water-friendly versions available. 

Since sandals are more well ventilated than normal hiking boots or shoes your feet are going to dry faster. Sandals ready for water activities are still going to offer you the same type of good grip and slip resistance than a normal shoe will, just with added benefits. Not having to walk around in soaked shoes and socks for the rest of your hike is a big one.

Fast drying sandals mean you’re going to be much more comfortable than you might be if your shoes get soaked on accident. If you’re an adventurous hiker that likes to wander off onto your own path, considering sandals that let your feet dry faster is a good idea.

2. They Let Your Feet Breathe

Along the same lines as the reasons you’d want a fast drying sandal, sandals (even closed toe options) give your feet a chance to breathe. In the summer when things are especially warm out on the trails or at your campsite, this can be a great thing. Your feet breathing means you aren’t forcing them to sweat it out in less comfortable summer shoe options.

Hiking and outdoor sandals have options that still enclose your foot for safer hiking, while being open to the air. It’s a great chance to give your feet a bit of a cooldown without having to sacrifice the great fit of your normal hiking shoes. Outdoor sandals take both things into account.

3. They’re Easy To Customize

Some of the outdoor sandal options on the market, like Teva sandals, are highly adjustable. Since you can change how the sandal fits your foot by adjusting one of the many straps on the sandal it means the shoes are extremely easy to customize. You have more options available than just tightening your laces. 

If you feel like your sandals aren’t giving you great support on the middle of your hike you still have options. Changing up how your straps are situated on your foot can make the sandal feel entirely different. You might have to play around with all of the straps on the more adjustable sandal options to find your best fit, but when you doo you’ll be especially thrilled with your purchase. 

4. They Still Protect Your Feet

While Teva or similar brands offer sandals that are pretty adjustable and open, there are many types that still enclose your foot for protection. Merrill hiking sandals, for example, are almost completely closed and even cover your toes. They’re still sandals, they have a lot of ventilation which means your feet are still getting air, but you won’t have to sacrifice keeping your feet safe.

Since a lot of the reasons you may still be choosing shoes over sandals revolve around the protective nature of shoes or hiking boots, this is great news. If you can give your feet a little extra air without having to worry about getting scraped feet while hiking it means you no longer have to make the choice between comfort or protection. 

5. They’re Still Rugged 

Outdoor sandals are still made out of rugged materials meant to handle being outside in all kinds of situations. Sometimes when you think of sandals you think about cheaper shoes made from flimsy materials. That’s definitely a type of sandal on the market but it’s not something that’s common in sandals geared towards outdoor activities.

Think of the same types of materials used in your favorite hiking shoes. Those materials are still used in outdoor sandals. They’re ready to handle slippery rocks, tough terrain, and withstand the wear and tear of being outside constantly. Basically, these sandals are made for the action you’re going to put them through. 

The worries of having a pair of sandals that are going to wear out within a trip or two to your favorite trails are something you can put out of your mind. You’ll have a lot of options to look at and all of them are tough enough to hold up to everything you plan on doing. Plan on having these sandals for a long time because they’re built to last.

Conclusion:

With the reasons you’ve just read about, it’s obvious that you no longer have to avoid wearing sandals if you’re going to be doing a lot of outdoor activities. You aren’t stuck wearing hot boots all summer long anymore. 

If you haven’t checked out all the outdoor sandals on the market today you’re in for a big surprise. Give your feet a break and get a pair of sandals they’ll love. When you hit the trails you’ll be thrilled you gave outdoor sandals a chance.

The grandiosity of the palace is a reflection of the royal and cultural heritage of the city. This is perfect for you and your family to explore, read up on, and appreciate.
  2. Lake Pichola – Udaipur is called City of Lakes for a reason. The 5 large artificial lakes in the city and its vicinity have lent it its true character and turned it into a luxurious oasis in the middle of a desert region.

With the serene waters of the Pichola surrounding it and the majestic Aravalli Hills towering in the backdrop this is arguably one of the most romantic places in Udaipur. The palace turned hotel is now run by the Taj group and is called the Taj Lake Palace. This is the perfect place to visit for a sunset view and for a candlelight dinner.
  4. Fateh Sagar Lake – If you are staying in one of the hotels in Udaipur near the airport, a short drive will take you to Lake Fateh Sagar named after Maharana Fateh Singh. The banks of the lake are ideal for a great picnic but you will certainly want to make it to the Udaipur Solar Observatory and the Nehru Park – both located on islands in the middle of the lake. There is a wonderful fountain on another island here.
  5. Kumbhalgarh Fort – The Kumbhalgarh Fort is about an hour’s drive from Udaipur. It is the second largest fort in India and is one place you will have fun exploring with your kids and your family.

]]> Repair of inguinal hernia is a common surgical procedure in men. But often the question arises- which is the best technique to repair inguinal hernia?  The hernia is repaired with suturing or placing a synthetic mesh over hernia in one of the layers of the abdominal wall. It is done either using open surgery or minimal access laparoscopic surgery.

Symptoms of inguinal hernia

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is the minimally invasive procedure that requires general anesthesia. The surgeon puts small incisions in the abdomen. The abdomen is inflated with harmless air so that the surgeon can see the abdominal organs easily. A thin fiber-optic instrument, that has a camera on top, called laparoscope is inserted through the incision and other repairing instruments through other incisions in the lower abdomen. Mesh is then placed over the defect to strengthen the abdominal wall. The incisions are sealed using a harmless surgical glue. The benefits of laparoscopic hernia surgery are :

  1. Reduced pain
  2. Small incisions instead of one large cut
  3. Less postoperative pain
  4. Quick recovery
  5. Daycare procedure

Open Inguinal Hernia

Open inguinal hernia repair is an invasive procedure that can be done under general, spinal or local anesthesia. The surgeon puts a long incision in the groin area. The hernia is pushed back into place if it is coming out of the abdominal wall (direct). The hernia sac is pushed back or tied and removed if it goes down the inguinal canal (indirect). The surgeon sews the weak defect area placing mesh along the abdominal wall. The cut is stapled or stitched.  The benefit of open surgery is that the learning curve is short.

Laparoscopic surgery over open surgery

  1. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery needs a few small incisions whereas open surgery needs a long incision.
  2. In laparoscopic surgery, the recovery time is faster as compared to open surgery.
  3. General anesthesia is needed for laparoscopic repair whereas open surgery can be done under general, spinal or local anesthesia.
  4. When a patient has hernias on both sides, there is no need to make another incision to treat the other hernia. While in open surgery, another surgery is needed to treat the second hernia.
  5. The postsurgery discomfort is very less in case of laparoscopic surgery while there is a pain, chances of infection and discomfort as the stitches take long to heal after open surgery.
  6. Laparoscopic surgery cannot be performed for those who refrain general anesthesia. Open surgery is the only solution to treat their hernia problem.
  7. There are a few incisions in laparoscopic surgery, therefore, it is more appealing for cosmetic reasons. No scare.
  8. Treatment of recurrent hernia is often easier with laparoscopic surgery than with open surgery.
  9. Laparoscopic surgery is a daycare procedure while in case of open surgery you might have to stay for 2-3 days.
  10. All surgeons perform open surgery but only specialists perform laparoscopic surgery. Therefore hands-on experience is a must for laparoscopic surgery.
Specifics Laparoscopic Surgery Open Surgery
Invasive minimum maximum
Incision no long
Recovery quick slow
Risk of recurrence low high
Stitches Less or no many

Some children are born with an inguinal hernia which is visible when they cough or cry, sometimes even when they are sleeping. Doctors push them gently and it goes away in some cases but some children need surgery. Hernia needs to be repaired because they are likely to become incarcerated.

Laparoscopic surgery is not done in children but laparoscope may be used during open surgery. This is to check the opposite groin area for a hernia. If the hernia is present on the other side too, the surgeon repairs both in the same surgery.

People who choose not to have hernia surgery at all
