peer agreement (net): +1The creation of an artificial ischemia or the use of a tourniquet facilitates an overview. Explanation: These are two different things. You may use a tourniquet but merely restrict the flow, rather than having less/ no blood at the place in question. artificial ischemia see ref n4 Reference: http://www.lexic.us/definition-of/ischemia |

peer agreement (net): +2tourniquet Explanation: for "Blutsperre" -> http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/medical/515908-Ö... HTH :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2010-07-22 12:10:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To make it clear: I added "for Blutspeere" to differentiate against "Blutleere" - here I support Jonathan's contribution "exsanguination" as the maximum Blutleere of a limb you can get before surgery. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 hrs (2010-07-22 15:21:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @Jennifer, of course, I have also reviewed the definitions (general, medical ...) of "exsanguination" - BUT: you cannot ignore the relevant texts from the field of anesthesiology and surgery, in the example ref. I quoted in my comment to Jonathan, you can read: "Applying a pressurized pneumatic cuff to a limb can be used to prevent the central spread of local anaesthetic during intravenous regional anaesthesia. It may also be used to reduce bleeding and improve the surgical field when operating on an exsanguinated limb. Using a tourniquet can induce significant physiological changes depending on the duration of inflation and the general status of the patient. Tourniquet application Maintaining a bloodless field during limb surgery ...." And this on the website "Anaesthesia UK" (for professionals), see: http://www.frca.co.uk/aboutus.aspx There are more examples when googling (only University sites) ... http://www.med.umich.edu/anes/tcpub/mich_airway/newsletter/9... http://nursing.uchc.edu/unit_manuals/perioperative/or/docs/P... http://www.uchsc.edu/surgery/education/grandrounds/GRpdfs/20... http://ukhealthcare.uky.edu/cartilage/articles/anatomic.pdf (see page 3) http://www.anesthesia.wisc.edu/med3/localanes/localhandout.h... ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day21 hrs (2010-07-23 16:22:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another note on the German term "Blutlehre" - which does exist indeed, however, with different meanings from "Blutleere" in this translation question. Actually, use of Blutlehre may be found for three reasons: 1. typo for "Blutleere" 2. meaning: Lehre vom Blut, Hämatologie (Blutlehre in this sense is really obsolete) 3. Blutlehre in a historical context, e.g. so-called ritueller Mord with jews (see first URL), or Rassen- und Blutlehre of the Nazi regime, or the WTG-Blutlehre (Zeugen Jehovas, Wachtturmgesellschaft): http://www.manfred-gebhard.de/Parsimony.14493.htm HTH See these URLs: http://www.diss-duisburg.de/Internetbibliothek/Artikel/5 Kop... (see page 34) http://de.factolex.com/Thrombin http://books.google.de/books?id=IG3Rp8NAO8EC&pg=PA864&lpg=PA... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2010-07-27 13:36:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A word on the device and technique used: This is definitely an Esmarch bandage (+ vertical position of the, let's say, arm while applying the bandage), then the tourniquet application - at the upper arm level, immediately below the axilla - in order to maintain the "bloodless" state. |
