Although aldosterone retains Sodium and water, it induces excretion of Potassium. Potassium can be induced by angiotensin II. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) ADH is a polypeptide, which is secreted by the hypothalamus, and it is stored in the posterior pituitary gland. ADH is released when water level is low in the blood stream. ADH regulates the body water level by concentrating urine and thereby reducing urine volume.
Gas masks are essential in an evacuation of a biological or chemical disaster. Knowing how to use it properly will increase your chance for survival. There are different types of gas masks, and you should follow the specific instructions for that particular mask.
Background Venturi masks are commonly used in the hospital setting to deliver controlled percentages of oxygen. This is important for those at risk of hypercapnic respiratory failure and to accurately assess ventilation and gas exchange. Hospital oxygen supplies deliver high velocity and pressure, which are required for Venturi masks to operate as designed. Home oxygen is commonly delivered via concentrators, which work at lower pressures and this may affect the performance of Venturi masks if they are requested for home use.
