Barbiturate

Barbiturates are a class of depressant drugs that are chemically derived from barbituric acid.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Barbiturate

Botulism

Botulism is a rare and potentially fatal illness caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Botulism

Breathing (spiration or ventilation) is the rhythmical process of moving air into (inhalation) and out of (exhalation) the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly to flush out carbon dioxide and bring in oxygen.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Breathing

Copenhagen

Copenhagen (København) is the capital and most populous city of Denmark, with a population of 1.4 million in the urban area.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Copenhagen

General Electric

General Electric Company (GE) was an American multinational conglomerate founded in 1892, incorporated in the state of New York and headquartered in Boston.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and General Electric

Intensive Care Medicine (journal)

Intensive Care Medicine is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering intensive care or critical care and emergency medicine.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Intensive Care Medicine (journal)

Iron lung

An iron lung is a type of negative pressure ventilator (NPV), a mechanical respirator which encloses most of a person's body and varies the air pressure in the enclosed space to stimulate breathing.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Iron lung

Modes of mechanical ventilation

Modes of mechanical ventilation are one of the most important aspects of the usage of mechanical ventilation.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Modes of mechanical ventilation

Muscles of respiration

The muscles of respiration are the muscles that contribute to inhalation and exhalation, by aiding in the expansion and contraction of the thoracic cavity.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Muscles of respiration

National Museum of American History

The National Museum of American History: Kenneth E. Behring Center is a historical museum in Washington, D.C. It collects, preserves, and displays the heritage of the United States in the areas of social, political, cultural, scientific, and military history.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and National Museum of American History

Negative pressure ventilator

A negative pressure ventilator (NPV) is a type of mechanical ventilator that stimulates an ill person's breathing by periodically applying negative air pressure to their body to expand and contract the chest cavity.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Negative pressure ventilator

Polio

Poliomyelitis, commonly shortened to polio, is an infectious disease caused by the poliovirus.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Polio

Smithsonian Institution

The Smithsonian Institution, or simply the Smithsonian, is a group of museums, education and research centers, the largest such complex in the world, created by the U.S. government "for the increase and diffusion of knowledge." Founded on August 10, 1846, it operates as a trust instrumentality and is not formally a part of any of the three branches of the federal government.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Smithsonian Institution

Tracheal intubation

Tracheal intubation, usually simply referred to as intubation, is the placement of a flexible plastic tube into the trachea (windpipe) to maintain an open airway or to serve as a conduit through which to administer certain drugs.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Tracheal intubation

Tubocurarine chloride

Tubocurarine (also known as d-tubocurarine or DTC) is a toxic benzylisoquinoline alkaloid historically known for its use as an arrow poison.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Tubocurarine chloride

University of Tennessee

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (or The University of Tennessee; UT; UT Knoxville; or colloquially UTK or Tennessee) is a public land-grant research university in Knoxville, Tennessee.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and University of Tennessee

Uppsala University

Uppsala University (UU) (Uppsala universitet) is a public research university in Uppsala, Sweden.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Uppsala University

Ventilator

A ventilator is a type of breathing apparatus, a class of medical technology that provides mechanical ventilation by moving breathable air into and out of the lungs, to deliver breaths to a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or breathing insufficiently.

See Carl Gunnar Engström and Ventilator
