Most retinal detachments are treated with a technique known as <u>scleral banding</u>, which involves placing a silicone band over the detached area, forcing the layers of the retina together.
What is scleral banding or buckle?
A scleral buckle is one of several ophthalmologic procedures that can be used to repair a retinal detachment. Retinal detachments are usually caused by retinal tears, and a scleral buckle can be used to close the retinal break, both for acute and chronic retinal detachments.
Scleral buckles come in many shapes and sizes. A silicone sponge (with air filled cells) is a cylindrical element that comes in various sizes. An encircling band is a thin silicone band sewn around the circumference of the sclera of the eye. A solid silicone grooved Tyre element is also used. Buckles are often placed under a band to create a dimple on the eye wall.

The nurse's intervention should include in the care plan the possible leakage of stomach (or tube) contents around the tube orifice, displacement or dysfunction of the tube. Other complications inherent to the procedure are infection of the skin around the tube, aspiration, bleeding and perforation of other viscera.
<h3>What is Percutaneous Endoscopic and Gastrostomy?</h3>
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is a procedure in which a flexible feeding tube is passed into the stomach through the abdominal wall. A gastrostomy allows nutrition, fluids and medication to be placed directly into the stomach, without passing through the mouth and esophagus.
With this information, we can conclude that Endoscopic Gastrostomy is a procedure that combines endoscopy techniques to introduce a tube that passes through the wall of the abdomen and goes straight to the digestive tract.

4. atrium (r), pulmonary veins (r)
5. ventricle (r)
6. ventricle (r), aorta (r), __________
Explanation:
I *think* both of the blanks would be heart, but I'm not positive. And I would guess the first would be blue, and second would be red.
Sorry I didn't get them all.
