It has been more than a week since the university resumed it's classes. Though, my mood to study still hasn't improved, I have been scraping through all the classes and every time when I see the results I tell myself "I need to gather up my emotions and mood and stop finding reasons to not study!". I hope this will be the last time I will be doing this. I am sorry for making you guys sad or worried upon hearing this. I promise to concentrate on my studies and do better in the future. I really do.
So, today I had my practical classes in Pathological Physiology. Today's topic was on disease, dying and reanimation. For the experiment of the class, we got a rat and did an experimental asphyxia on it. Let me give a little bit more details on what we did.
First we, narcotized the rat and saw the stages of narcotization. Then when the rat was asleep we cut open the skin on the neck to expose it's trachea and did a section on the trachea. Then, we inserted a glass tube into the section. Then we closed the tube with our fingers blocking the air from going in and out from the tube and it's lungs. Hence, the rat was in hypoxia (shortage of oxidation) until it was in clinical death. After it's last breath we immediately did the reanimation techniques on the rat (artificial respiration and heart massage). Eventually the rat came back to life. Though we repeated the experiment again and prolonged the time between the rat's last breath and starting of reanimation technique.
The picture above is after the rat was revived after the 1st experiment.
