Braxton Hicks contractions.

Braxton Hicks contractions are a tightening in your abdomen that comes and goes. They are contractions of your uterus in preparation for giving birth. They tone the muscles in your uterus and may also help prepare the cervix for birth.

Braxton Hicks contractions feel like muscles tightening across your belly, and if you put your hands on your belly when the contractions happen, you can probably feel your uterus becoming hard.

The contractions come irregularly and usually last for about 30 seconds. While they can be uncomfortable, they usually aren’t painful.

If the pain or discomfort of your contractions eases off, they’re probably Braxton Hicks contractions.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

We can determine that there is a small air leak or not by Connecting to an underwater seal.

Explanation:

It is difficult to determine an ongoing leak in a Heimlich valve without connecting it to an underwater seal. The procedure of underwater seal is conducted by placing the Heimlich valve into a cup of water or in a water seal chamber. Then the presence of air leak is checked if the leakage continues after lung expansion.

This one-way valve system is used to treat spontaneous pneumothorax without hospital re-admissions. A Heimlich valve is a one-way rubber flutter valve which allows air evacuation without tension. Hence, its leakage can be checked during lung expansion by not connecting it to a suction device but actually to an underwater seal.
