In order to properly treat skin infections, small wounds, burns, and bruises, betadine is the antiseptic drug of choice. 

  • Povidone-iodine is a disinfectant and antiseptic. It is applied to the treatment and avoidance of infections in cuts and open wounds. It eliminates the dangerous microorganisms and restricts their development, protecting the region from diseases.
  • The risk of infection at the site of the incision is decreased when the patient's skin is properly prepared for surgery so that it is as free as possible from microorganisms. The thorough sterilisation that occurs just before surgery is neither duplicated nor replaced by this method. To reduce the number of germs on the skin and limit the danger of contaminating the surgical incision, the patient should take two preoperative showers with chlorhexidine gluconate before any surgical treatment.

Intrapulmonary pressure in the ________.
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B- pressure within the alveoli.

Explanation:

Intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure within the lungs especially in the alveoli of the lungs so is also known as "intra-alveolar pressure".

This pressure helps in the breathing process as :

1. During inspiration - The thoracic cavity volume increases due to which the intra-pulmonary pressure becomes less than the atmospheric pressure which causes the lungs to inhale about 500 ml of air.

2. During expiration- the thoracic volume decreases which cause the intra-pulmonary pressure larger than atmospheric pressure which causes the lungs to exhale the air.

Thus, option B- pressure within the alveoli is the correct answer.
