JP drain: The original suction drain. The drain itself is inside the body. It is made of Teflon and has multiple drainage holes. The drain is connected to clear plastic tubing which is usually sutured to the skin at the point it leaves the skin. The tubing connects to a bulb reservoir. The bulb, when squeezed empty, applies constant suction to the drain and pulls the fluid out of the body.
Cardiac Enzyme Studies. Cardiac enzyme studies measure the levels of enzymes and proteins that are linked with injury of the heart muscle. These include the enzyme creatine kinase (CK), and the proteins troponin I (TnI) and troponin T (TnT).
The lipase test is used to measure the amount of lipase in the body. In many instances, the lipase test will be ordered in conjunction with the amylase test. An amylase test is used to diagnose diseases of the pancreas.The results from these tests are typically used to diagnose and monitor specific health conditions, including: 1  acute pancreatitis.2  chronic pancreatitis.ipase is an enzyme made by the pancreas. When you eat, lipase is released into the digestive tract to aid in the breakdown of fats. Lipase also functions to increase cell permeability. Cell permeability allows vital nutrients and wastes to flow across the cell wall. The nutrients nourish the cell.
