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

Orphan date February 2009 Logistics supportsystem LSS is a tool created for the purpose of facilitating the communication among humanitarian agencies, non governmental oraganizations, donors, media or countries and enhancing the coordination of humanitarian supply chain. By creating matching tables to collect information from other tracking systems or by having access to already existing data in the systems s database, logistics support systems have the ability to provide decision supporting reports that show which relief supplies were received or delivered, where they have been stored, which relief supplies are requested and how useful they are at a specific moment. Sorting and classifying incoming supplies are also some functions of a logistics supportsystem. Consequently, the function of the logistics supportsystem enhances the proactiveness of a humanitarian organization by improving problem traceability and performance monitoring and providing the advantage to timely change the plan of the supply chain without consequenses. Two modules of logistics support systems have been created a module that operates under Windows systems and a second module that operates under Internet Explorer. Logistics support systems have been used in many natural disasters , including Pakistan earthquake in October 2005 and Bolivian floods in February 2006.

They are designed to operate in conjunction with a static production platform which is connected to the platform by flow lines and or by Umbilical cable . Traditionally, these jacket type structures have been installed and used in shallow to medium water depths of up to 40 60 meters. The conductor supported system use its inherited strength of the well conductors to support both the wells and the topside structure. The conductor supported system is particularly suited to areas with more benign environmental conditions. The well conductors act as both piles and conductors.
