The recommended guideline for determining suction catheter depth when suctioning an endotracheal tube is;

By using a suction catheter with centimeter increments on it.

Insert the suction catheter into the endotracheal tube until the centimeter markings on both the endotracheal tube and catheter align

Insert the suction catheter no further than an additional 1 cm.

From documented guidelines to determine suction catheter depth, they are;

1) Get a suction catheter with centimeter increments on it.

2) Then you will Insert the suction catheter into the endotracheal tube till the centimeter markings located on both the endotracheal tube and catheter align

3) Next is to insert the suction catheter not more than an extra 1 cm.

4) The length of the endotracheal tube should be combined with any other adapter you are using after which you add an additional 1 cm.

5) Get a spare endotracheal tube that has same size as that being used for the patient.

6) Insert the suction catheter to the end of this tube and take note of the length at which the catheter got to the end of the tube.

7) If you are dealing with a closed system, then all you need to do is to combine the endotracheal tube length and length of additional adapters you are using and add an extra 1 cm.

How can you determine that a star is about to turn into a red giant?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

When the inner core shrinks and the outer atmosphere expands thereby giving red color to the star.

Explanation:

When the hydrogen with in the core of a star gets exhausted, the nuclear reactions taking place in the inner core move outwards towards the atmosphere of the star in search of fuel. Due to this, the star expands and become cool and red. This process continues till the star convert into red giant and all the available fuel (hydrogen) is consumed.

Due to expanding atmosphere, the inner core starts shrinking due to gravity. The pressure and temperature also increases in the middle till nuclear fission starts again but this time it will use helium instead of hydrogen.

Which of the following statements is false?

weqwewe [10]

<h2>B) option is false</h2>

Explanation:

All events of cell cycle is regulated by a heterodimeric protein complex called cyclin CDKs, cyclin is the regulatory subunit which binds to CDKs and activate them whereas CDKs(cyclin dependent kinases) is the catalytic subunit where cyclin bound CDKs become active and act as serine threonine kinase and phosphorylate target proteins

The activation of S-Cdk helps prevent the onset of M phase because S phase cyclin CDK complex trigger initiation of DNA replication from pre replication complex and inhibits rebinding of components of pre replication complex

Why did Mendel use pea plants in his experiments?

Digiron [165]

Answer:

C.) They self-fertilize

Explanation:

Mendel used pea plants because they self fertilized, meaning that the plant could supply a sperm and egg cell so it could produce its own offspring. This makes the process of looking at genetics and traits much easier for the scientist studying the genes of plants.
