other uses Unreferenced date December 2011 Lifesupport , in medicine is a broad term that applies to any therapy used to sustain a patient s life while they are critically ill or injured. There are many therapies and techniques that may be used by clinicians to achieve the goal of sustaining life. Some examples include Feeding tube Total parenteral nutrition Mechanical ventilation Cardiac pump Heart Lung bypass Urinary catheterization Dialysis Cardiopulmonary resuscitation Defibrillation Artificial pacemaker These techniques are applied most commonly in the Emergency Department , Intensive Care Unit and, Operating Room s. As various lifesupport technologies have improved and evolved they are used increasingly outside of the hospital environment. For example a patient who requires a ventilator for survival are commonly discharged home with these devices. Another example includes the now ubiquitous presence of Automated external defibrillator in public venues which allow lay people to deliver lifesupport in a prehospital environment. The ultimate goals of lifesupport depend on the specific patient situation. Typically lifesupport is used to sustain life while the underlying injury or illness is being treated or evaluated for prognosis. Lifesupport techniques may also be used indefinitely if the underlying medical condition cannot be corrected but a reasonable quality of life can still be expected. medicine stub date December 2011 Category Medicine eu Bizia mantentzea kk pt Suporte vida ru uk ... more details

Original concept CELSS was first pioneered by the Soviet Union during the famed Space Race in the 1950s 60s. Originated by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and furthered by Vladimir Vernadsky V.I. Vernadsky , the first forays into this science were the use of closed, unmanned ecosystems, expanding into the research facility known as the BIOS 3 . Then in 1965, manned experiments began in the BIOS 3 . Rationale Human spaceflight Space travel , thus far, has been limited to our own Earth Moon system. Also, everything that astronauts would need in the way of lifesupport air , water , and food has been brought with them. This may be economical for short missions of spacecraft , but it is not the most elegant solution when dealing with the lifesupport systems ... environment that can support and maintain human life via agricultural means.

The phrase cardiac monitoring generally refers to continuous monitoring medicine monitoring with electrocardiography with assessment of the patients condition relative to their cardiac rhythm. It is different from hemodynamic monitoring, which monitors the pressure and flow of blood within the circulatory system. The two may be performed simultaneously on critical heart patients. A small monitor worn by an ambulatory patient is known as a Holter monitor . Transmitting data from a monitor to a distant monitoring station is known as telemetry or biotelemetry . Emergency Medical Services Ambulance services and other emergency medical services providers utilize heart monitors to assess the patient s cardiac rhythm. Providers licensed or certified at the Intermediate or Paramedic level are qualified to interpret EKGs. The finding of a cardiac dysrhythmia or for that matter, a normal sinus rhythm may give additional information about the patients condition or may be a sufficient diagnosis on its own to guide treatment. Treatment for specific cardiac rhythms is guided by AdvancedCardiacLifeSupport ACLS .

Cardiac nursing is a nursing specialty that works with patient s who suffer from various conditions of the Circulatory system cardiovascular system . Cardiac nurses help treat conditions such as unstable Angina pectoris angina , cardiomyopathy , coronary artery disease , congestive heart failure , myocardial infarction and cardiac dysrhythmia under the direction of a cardiologist. Cardiac nurses perform postoperative care on a surgical unit, stress test evaluations, cardiac monitoring, vascular monitoring, and health assessments. Cardiac nurses must have Basic LifeSupport and AdvancedCardiacLifeSupport certification. In addition, cardiac nurses must possess specialized skills including electrocardiogram monitoring, defibrillation , and medication administration by continuous Intravenous therapy intravenous drip. Cardiac nurses work in many different environments, including coronary care unit s CCU , cardiac catheterization , intensive care unit s ICU , operating theatre s, cardiac rehabilitation centers, clinical research , cardiac surgery wards, cardiovascular intensive care unit s CVICU , and cardiac medical wards.
