Discussion

• Definition of Medical Equipment/Treatments

  • Summary: The speaker explained that CPT vests help with mucus removal, LVAD wires assist blood pumping oxygenation below the heart, and TPN is total parenteral nutrition via IV for digestive system issues.
  • Evidence: “So CPT vests are the best that you wear when you can’t cough your mucus up and it shakes it so it comes up on its own. LVAD wires are a wire that’s inserted right below your heart and it helps your blood pump oxygen through your body. And then TPN is total parenteral nutrition and it’s an IV of like what a tube is, but it’s through an IV when you have problems that it can’t pass through your digestive system at all.”
