Abstract

Background: The air bubbles in the intravenous tubing can be fatal if it enters the body. It can result in an air embolism. Air embolism is a condition in which air bubbles enter the blood vessels. Several methods can be used to remove air bubbles in the intravenous tubing. One is replacing it with new intravenous tubing, but this method is considered less efficient. This article describes effective and efficient ways to remove air bubbles from intravenous tubing and tests them for effectiveness.Technique: Four techniques can be applied when the intravenous tubing is filled with air, namely the roll-up technique, flick technique, combination roll-up and flick technique, and push-pull technique.Conclusion: From the test, the push-pull technique is the most effective and efficient in removing air from intravenous tubing compared to the others.

Abstract

Background: Doing activities that burden the back, such as bending over for a long time and lifting weights in the wrong position, can cause injury to the spine, leaving back pain. Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis Brace (TLSO Brace) is a tool used to support the spine so that it can prevent such an injury. Objective:This research aims to design and pilot a new ergonomic TLSO Brace that can be used to improve posture, reduce back pain and prevent back pain.Methods: This research is divided into several stages, namely designing, manufacturing, and testing.Results: The results show that the level of ergonomics is mainly in the Good category. The use of the TLSO Brace was proven effective in reducing back pain intensity (p<0.0001); the average pain was reduced after 14 minutes. The results also found that all respondents who used the brace at work felt no back pain. It can be seen that the lordosis back arch becomes upright after using it, meaning the tool also improves posture.Conclusions: The ergonomic TLSO Brace has been created and can improve body posture, reduce pain intensity and prevent back pain from recurring.
