Question
Answer
show Surgical puncture of the abdomen by a needle to withdraw fluid; abdominal paracentesis.  
🗑
Anorexia   show
🗑
show diagnostic test performed to determine cause of joint swelling or arthritis: septic bursitis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis. (joint aspiration), the procedure uses a sterile needle and syringe to drain fluid from a joint for further examination  
🗑
Coupage   show
🗑
show procedure where a needle is placed into the urinary bladder through the abdomen of an animal and a sample of urine is removed. Diagnostically prevents sample taken for urinalysis contamination: bacteria, cells, debris from the lower urogenital tract.  
🗑
Diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL)   show
🗑
Extravasation   show
🗑
Foley Catheter   show
🗑
show situated within, occurring within, or administered by entering a bone "_______" vasculature, "______" anesthesia.  
🗑
Leukocytosis   show
🗑
Neutropenia   show
🗑
Osmolality   show
🗑
show deficiency of all three cellular components of the blood (red cells, white cells, and platelets).  
🗑
Percutaneously   show
🗑
show inflammation of a vein.  
🗑
show “water on the lungs,” build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs. The pleura are thin membranes that line the lungs and the inside of the chest cavity and act to lubricate and facilitate breathing.  
🗑
Pneumothorax   show
🗑
show method widely used in molecular biology to make several copies of a specific DNA segment. Using it, copies of DNA sequences are exponentially amplified to generate thousands to millions of more copies of that particular DNA segment.  
🗑
show the first stomach of a ruminant, which receives food or cud from the esophagus, partly digests it with the aid of bacteria, and passes it to the reticulum.  
🗑
show an invasive procedure associated with removal of fluid or air from the pleural space for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes  
🗑
show condition of low blood platelet count. Platelets (thrombocytes) are colorless blood cells that help blood clot. Platelets stop bleeding by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries  
🗑
Thrombophlebitis   show
🗑
Thrombosis   show
🗑
Vasodilation   show
🗑
show Pretreatment blood and urine samples should be obtained before administration of fluids of medications.  
🗑
Technician Note   show
🗑
show Length of stomach tub is measured from the nose to the 13th rib (last). It is marked with tape. For distal esophagus (smooth muscle) placement the tube is measured from the nose to the 8th rib. Tube is bent (occluded) before removal to avoid aspiration.  
🗑
show painkiller is any member of the group of drugs used to achieve analgesia (relief from pain).  
🗑
Technician Note   show
🗑
show the white outer layer of the eyeball. At the front of the eye it is continuous with the cornea.  
🗑
show Any medical procedure or method where access to inner organs or other tissue is done via needle-puncture of the skin, rather than by using an "open" approach where inner organs or tissue are exposed (typically with the use of a scalpel).  
🗑
show A facilitative incision or a relief hole reduces skin tension and friction against the catheter; it is indicated in severely dehydrated patients and in patients with tough skin.  
🗑
show a device used to access a vein for drawing blood or giving medications. Some call it a “winged infusion set” or a “scalp vein set.” The set gets its name because there are plastic “wings” on either side of a hollow needle used to access the vein.  
🗑
through-the-needle catheter   show
🗑
show The most common type of catheter used today. It is inexpensive and easy to place. It is used primarily for peripheral vein catheterization. This type of catheter is fitted outside or over a steel needle.  
🗑
multilumen catheter   show
🗑
show gather a catheter, a syringe filled with heparinized saline flush, an injection cap or T-connector, tape, nonabsorbable suture, bandage material, clippers, and antiseptic scrub and solutions.  
🗑
show Fluids and drugs that have an osmolality greater than 600 mOsm/L should be administered through the jugular vein.  
🗑
show Forward-moving. As in blood flow. Sometimes synonymous with anterograde. From the Latin ante- + gradior, to step.  
🗑
show Placement of a bag of fluids, a sandbag, or rolled towels under the neck helps to make the vessel more accessible and stable for jugular catheter placement.  
🗑
show a surgical instrument with a three-sided cutting point enclosed in a tube, used for withdrawing fluid from a body cavity  
🗑
show a preparation containing iodine complexed with a solubilizing agent, such as a surfactant or povidone (forming povidone-iodine). The result is a water-soluble material that releases free iodine when in solution  
🗑
neoplasia   show
🗑
show an agent that causes blistering (outside a vessel?)  
🗑
precipitate   show
🗑
patency   show
🗑
extravasations   show
🗑
Technician Note   show
🗑
show the process of injecting directly into the marrow of a bone. This provides a non-collapsible entry point into the systemic venous system. This technique is used to provide fluids and medication when intravenous access is not available or not feasible  
🗑
