The risk of VAP is highest early in thecourse of hospital stay, and is estimated to be 3%/day duringthe ï¬rst 5 days of ventilation, 2%/day during Days 5 to 10 ofventilation, and 1%/day after this (17).
there is a difference. There are other here who could elaborate further but MIG stands for metal inert gas. This is Argon or c02. Inert meaning the gas has no affect on the weld except to shield it from oxidation, from the atmosphere. MAG is metal active gas.
Why is it called MIG/MAG welding and what does this mean? MIG welding stands for Metal Inert Gas welding (inert). An inert gas (rare gas) is e.g. Argon or Argon + Helium. Its task is to protect the welding deposit, the melting wire electrode and the arc against the oxidising effects of oxygen in the air. Application: in nonferrous metals.
