Compressed Air

07/01/2015 - "The recent Department of Defense/Veterans Administration (DoD/VA) sponsored trials, previous published reports on the use of HBO2 therapy on stroke and mTBI and preliminary reports from the HOPPS Army trial, have helped to highlight the biological activity of pressurized air, validate the development of a convincing control for future studies and demonstrate the effectiveness of a hyperbaric intervention for mTBI/ PCS. "
09/01/2003 - "Group E--adhesive spread with a Micro-applicator brush for 30 seconds, the excess adhesive removed with a clean brush, two strokes side by side and no compressed air. "
09/01/2003 - "Group C--adhesive spread with 3M brush for 30 seconds, excess adhesive removed with a clean brush, two strokes side by side, no compressed air. "
04/01/1996 - "It was difficult to diagnose in one patient due to vague symptoms and signs and due to being stunned by a stroke of the compressed air. "

12/01/2013 - "Compared with compressed air diving, pulmonary barotrauma is rare in breath-hold diving. "
01/01/2012 - "To present a case report of trans-anal barotrauma by high-pressure compressed air jet as a dangerous practical joke, that is, playful insufflation of high-pressure air jet through the anal orifice resulting in sigmoid perforation. "
01/01/2012 - "Trans-anal barotrauma by compressed air leading to sigmoid perforation due to a dangerous practical joke."
09/01/2002 - "However, there was still a total of 28 cases of barotrauma that were reported which were mainly from the tunnels dug using the open face compressed air tunnelling method. "
08/01/1998 - "Pulmonary barotrauma (PBT) of ascent is a feared complication in compressed air diving. "

11/01/2000 - "However, women experienced less dyspnea when receiving O2 as compared with compressed air (p = 0.0025), and although not statistically significant, the lower dyspnea with O2 corresponded with an increased walk distance of 79 feet. "
10/01/2004 - "The patient suddenly went into a coma, with dyspnea and bradycardia, 1 day postsurgery, as a result of a cerebral gas embolism produced by the accidental entry of pressurized air into the artery via the arterial catheter. "
05/01/1995 - "Patients in whom arterial desaturation (below 88%) developed during exercise with compressed air benefited from supplemental oxygen: they walked significantly farther and their dyspnea scores for two of the eight descriptors were significantly lower. "
05/01/1998 - "No significant differences were found in dyspnea recovery time breathing oxygen (271 s), room air (290 s) or compressed air (311 s) When the groups were sorted by sequence of testing, there was a highly significant increase in recovery time (208 s, 307 s and 358 s for the first, second and third tests; P < 0.005) and a non-statistically significant decrease in exercise duration (89 s, 79 s and 76 s). "
05/01/1995 - "Nonetheless, the degree of dyspnea during exercise with compressed air could not be used to predict the beneficial effect of supplemental oxygen."

08/01/2005 - "For the second aim, the efficacy of mechanical flushing (30 seconds for each instrument) was compared with that of mechanical flushing in combination with pressurized air and of a between-patient disinfecting procedure (2 minutes contact with TAED and persalt utilizing an "autosteril" system). "
02/01/2004 - "Cleaning was arranged by flushing the pipes with compressed air and water. "
03/01/2002 - "should only be used disinfected or sterile-filtered; 3. Endoscopes have to be dried thoroughly using compressed air prior to storage; 4. Bottle and tube for air/water-channel flushing have to be reprocessed daily by disinfection or sterilization, and in use, the bottle have to be filled exclusively with sterile water. "

04/01/2002 - "The patient was cured by a frontal craniotomy, partial excision of the osteoma, and suture repair of the dural defect after evacuation of the pressurized air cavity. "
