Dehydration occurs as a result of the osmotic action of hyperglycemia, which draws fluid from the interstitial and intracellular compartments.  The osmotic pull of glucose outweighs other osmotic pressures in interstitial fluid, which is a component of the extracellular compartment. A shift from intravascular to interstitial occurs as a result of an increase in hydrostatic pressure.

<h3>What is DIabetes?</h3>
  • Diabetes mellitus, sometimes referred to as diabetes, is a collection of metabolic illnesses characterized by persistently elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia).
  • Frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger are common symptoms.
  • Diabetes can lead to a wide range of health issues if neglected.
  • Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and even mortality are examples of acute complications.
  • Cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic renal disease, foot ulcers, eye damage, nerve damage, and cognitive impairment are examples of serious long-term consequences.
  • Diabetes results from either insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or improper insulin use by the body's cells.
  • A hormone called insulin is in charge of facilitating the entry of food-derived glucose into cells for cellular energy use.

Prior to fighting any fire with a portable fire extinguisher, what should you take
Sindrei [870]

Answer: The FIRE SIZE should be taken into consideration when using a fire extinguisher.

Explanation:

Firefighting is defined as the steps followed to put off and prevent spread of unwanted fire. The particular technique and equipment that is used to put out fire will largely depend on the root cause of the fire and location of the fire itself.The fire may be caused by electricity or flammable liquids/ chemicals. There are different equipments that can be used to put out fire, these include:

--> Fire blanket: to extinguish fire on personal clothing or a small fire on the floor or bench.

--> Buckets of sand or dry soil (kept free of refuse): this is used to extinguish a free flowing liquid fire.

--> Buckets of water: to extinguish paper, fabric and wood fires. Water, however, must never be used to extinguish an electrical fire or one caused by a flammable chemical.

--> Dry powder chemical FIRE EXTINGUISHER: to extinguish electrical fires and fires caused by flammable liquids.

Generally FIRE EXTINGUISHER is an equipment used in emergency situations to put out SMALL fire to avoid it's spread. Prior to fighting any fire with a portable fire extinguisher, you must take into consideration the FIRE SIZE as not all fire can be extinguished using a portable fire extinguisher.

Many people put out SMALL FIRE quite safely using a portable fire extinguisher. However, death or serious injury can occur by tackling a fire which is beyond your capabilities. Only tackle a fire in its very early stages and always ensure you put your own and other peoples safety first.
