This involves using a plasma ray that glows a pleasing pink color and methane gas as a carbon source. The plasma causes the methane to dissociate into reactive species and then the carbon can be deposited onto the surface of the electrical components. See a video about the technique below. Via: CalTech.
This was a randomised controlled multisite study comparing resuscitation of trauma patients requiring massive transfusion using either 1:1::1 or 1:1:2 ratios of platelets to plasma to red blood cells. Pragmatic Randomized Optimal Platelet and Plasma Ratios (PROPPR) Trial: design, rationale and implementation. to −0.5%]; P = 0.03.).
1 The American College of Surgeons’ (ACS) Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) Massive Transfusion in Trauma Guidelines leave a good amount of flexibility for hospitals regarding transfusion protocols, focusing more on systems-level aspects of designing and implementing MTPs.2,3 ACS TQIP Best Practice Guidelines. 248(3):447-58.

Well, most commonly we’re going to see ACS. Pregnancy itself with its bump in plasma volume, reduced Hb and increased cardiac output is like one long exercise stress test. What can we expect to see in terms of cardiac disease?
One well-known study bled volunteers to a hemoglobin of 5 g/dL, while keeping them isovolemic with albumin or plasma infusions. The subjects’ blood was less viscous than normal, due to the isovolemic replenishment with plasma and albumin, making it flow more easily. A patient with hemorrhagic shock has problems with both.
I did not think it was due to ACS, but we ordered an ED ECG immediately: What do you think? But in this case the clinical scenario is not right for acute ACS with OMI, and there is very high voltage, and the patient is very young, (though beware of young patients , even 29 year olds!! There is profound "inferior" ST Depression.
It was shown to me with worry for ischemic ST elevation, which is certainly possible from severe CO toxicity, or concomitant ACS. Intravascular Neutrophil Activation Due to Carbon Monoxide Poisoning What do you think of this ECG?
One side effect of this medication is that it can reduce the absorption of antiepileptic medications such as valproate, vigabatrin, and lamotrigine and reduce their plasma concentration, thus putting patients taking these medications at higher risk of seizure.

Plasma half-life of the F(ab’) 2 antivenom is significantly longer at 5.5 link] Li Z, Krippendorff BF, Sharma S, Walz AC, Lavé T, Shah DK. F(ab) is smaller, consisting of a single antigen binding site, while F(ab’) 2 consists of two antigen-binding sites linked together by an antibody “hinge” region. 5 Figure 1. 2016;8(1):113-119.
8 Plasma butyrylcholinesterase (“pseudocholinesterase”) activity Easier to assay and is more widely available Red cell acetylcholinesterase (“true cholinesterase”) activity More accurate and specific Management: Patients require immediate intervention if there is concern for acute organophosphate poisoning. Toxicology. 2001;160(1-3):27-33.

Two assays available used to help confirm diagnosis, however, do not guide treatment Low levels of activity are consistent with organophosphate poisoning. 3 However, may be helpful in diagnosing the chronic toxicity forms. 2016;22(1):68-79.
7 We are commonly taught that metals are not amenable to treatment with activated charcoal (AC).However, In short, there is not a whole lot of evidence to support this, but if patient has had a recent ingestion and is not altered, you can consider gastrointestinal decontamination with AC.
SCD, therefore, is not only a mechanical disease but there are also many other cellular and plasma factors as well as endothelial interaction that generate chronic inflammation. Opioids do not cause ACS but they can exacerbate hypoxia in patients with ACS. Morphine sulphate is the commonest strong opioid to start with.

Whenever I see PVCs with the morphology and axis seen in todays case I always look for signs of AC ( Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy ). See this case for an in-depth discussion of AC and an example of VT and ECG changes associated with this disorder. The minimum effective plasma concentration of flecainide is about 200 ng/mL.
