Passive Care: Temperature Flashcards
What happens with Cryotheraphy
1) Vasoconstriction
2) Anesthesia
3) Pumping Reaction (vasodilation and vasoconstriction)
CBAN
Cold
Burn
Ache (vasodilation)
Numb (vasoconstriction) - happens after 20 minutes
Hunting-Lewis Reaction
Pumping
this is what happens if you leave ice on for more than 20 minutes - BAD
Treatment Temperatures: Cold
55-65
Treatment Temperatures: Cool
65 -80
Treatment Temperatures: Tepid
80 - 92
Treatment Temperatures: Neutral
92 - 96
Treatment Temperatures: Warm
96 - 99
Treatment Temperatures: Hot
99 - 104
over 104 will burn
Treatment Temperatures: Very Hot
105 - 115
Convection
transmission of heat in gases and liquids by circulation of heat particles
Example: bath (hot and cold), IR
Radiation
transmission of heat without the intervening medium getting warm
Example: lamps, MWD, UV, IR
SWD is NOT radiation
Conversion
the conversion of electrical energy into heat or mechanical energy
Example: US - changes energy, reverse piezoelectric effect
Conduction
the transfer of heat through a substance, often heating up a solid
Example: ice, hydrocollator, paraffin, IR
