LOW-COST, EASY-TO-ASSEMBLE NEONATAL PROCEDURAL TRAINERS: CHEST TUBE, PERICARDIOCENTESIS, AND EXCHANGE TRANSFUSION

Low-Cost, Easy-to-Assemble Neonatal Procedural Trainers: Chest Tube, Pericardiocentesis, and Exchange Transfusion

Abstract This resource presents three task-training models for critical neonatal intensive care procedures: chest tube insertion, exchange transfusion, and pericardiocentesis.Practicing in a simulated environment has many advantages when the procedure is rarely encountered and of a critical, high-risk nature.Commercially produced models for these p

Use of dual planar jets for the reduction of flow-induced noise

The planar jet has been proposed to reduce the flow-induced noise.However, the self-noise emission from a single planar jet is a limiting factor on the performance based characteristics of this technology.Therefore, this research paper reports an alternative dual planar jets geometry KITS* in an attempt to minimize the self-noise of the single plan
