A few different questions

[milenko]

Okay so here are a few different questions that I cant seem to answer at all.

otomy- as we know means a temporary opening into something, so with otomy as the main theme how would it relate to Aspiration of Haemorrage. As well how would otomy relate to removal of a thrombus. I think they are asking for the surgical procedure involved??????

Okay on a different note the I know that Ural is the trade name can anyone tell me what the generic name is?

Ammonium Chloride is the generic name what is the trade name?

Asprin is the trade name so what is the generic name?

Thanks everyone in advance

Aspirin is a generic name, trade name would just be some brand names, over here in the US, we have Bayer, St. Joseph's, etc. Most just purchase by the generic name as it is cheaper. But they are only brand names, it is just called "Bayer Aspirin", etc.

Ammonium Choride is just that, actually a chemical. Different labs make it, and call it "Ammonium Chloride" -- I have never seen it by a trade name.

For extracting the thrombus, you have acouple of optios, depending on where it is located. If in a femoral vein, as an example, you make a little nick or slit in the skin at the groin level, and insert what we call a Fogarty catheter, think of a very skinny catheter that you use in a bladder, that also has a ballon. But the ballon is onl yused with a tb syringe. You try to thread the catheter below the thrombus, then inflate the balloon and withdraw it, hopefully taking the clot with you.

With shunts in the arm for dialysis, sometimes this same techniques works, only a much shorter catheter inserted directly in the arm, but many times it requires a larger incision to clean everything out.

Hope that this helps explain things for you.
