LIFE-SAVING DEVICE

The metered-dose aerosol inhaler is not only a most convenient system for the delivery of therapeutically active drugs but it has proven to be a life-saving device for many asthmatics. This system has made it possible for millions of asthma sufferers to lead normal lives. The convenience of self-administering a dose of drug accurately and quickly has made the metered-dose aerosol the dosage form of choice for the delivery of drugs to the respiratory system. From epinephrine to albuterol, from triamcinolone to flunisolide, from proteins and peptides to hormones, this dosage form has proven its value.

A pocket-size or palm-size cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device was developed a few decades ago to initiate the critical rescue steps needed to revive someone from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). This device has been recognized as the most effective life-saving device and has been approved by the FDA for over-the-counter sales. A low-power, coin-shaped Li-ion battery, which has demonstrated utmost safety, reliability, and operation over wide temperatures, will be able to power this pocket-size SCA device.

The use of home humidifiers has recently been promoted in advertisements as a means of providing more comfort in houses with the thermostat turned down. Humidification makes life more comfortable and prolongs the life of furniture. Many advertisers describe a humidifier as an energy-saving device because it allows lower temperatures (4 or 5°F lower) with comfort. 

Perhaps the most important use of these catalysts will be to provide an easy way of making a large number of chiral compounds. In the past, research chemists have been reluctant to run laborious resolutions and have done so only when necessary. Now they can obtain chiral compounds for their life-sciences research with very little effort. We can look on these catalysts as a labor-saving device for the laboratory. For this, they will have an impact for as long as chemists run reactions. 

Many believe that the development of the computer was the most important invention of the twentieth century. Some form of computer chip is present in almost every electronic device we use today, affecting almost every aspect of our lives. But, in fact, the most important development of the past century is probably the electrification of the world. Without readily available electricity everywhere, we would not have computers and the Internet, refrigeration and sanitation, or important life-saving medical devices. 

A rope attached to a life ring or ring life buoy that is thrown to an individual in the water to assist in the efforts to return the individual to a safe location. The life ring or buoy can be pulled by rescuers via a rope. (Note Life Line is a different term than Lifeline, which refers to a line [i.e., rope] utilized for water life saving activities and is defined elsewhere in this chapter). See also Personal Flotation Device (PFD). 

Why did the IGD not treat this tachycardia The tachycardia rate (120 b.p.m.) was below the IGD rate cutoff (subsequently determined to be 160 b.p.m. in the VT zone). This is not an uncommon reason why an IGD does not elicit treatment, and is not a malfunction of the device. This circumstance points out the importance of not delaying treatment (i.e. per advanced cardiac life-saving protocol) should an imstable patient not receive IGD device intervention. 

Workers and employers who use portable gas detection eqnipment now have a concise, easy-to-follow set of recommendations offering key information on when to test, check and calibrate their instrnments, said Mine Safety Appliances Co. s Tom Salapow, Instrnments Product Group chair. The statement both removes confusion and gness-work abont these potentially life-saving steps, and it explains bnmp tests, calibration checks and fnll calibration based on real-world use of these devices. ... 

I lived many blissful years of married life without a dishwasher, without feeling slighted. Once our family grew to include our two sons, I decided it was time for this labor-saving device. Not counting the days my babies were born. Id say that the arrival of my dishwasher was one of the happiest days of my life Of course, that s an exaggeration, but I won t lie—I do love it.
