Preface
Preface to the first edition
Part I. Let's start
A little math we will need and a clinical application immediately
Part II. Gases, bubbles and surroundings
Perfect coffee and oxygen cylinders: the ideal gas law
Boats, balloons, and air bubbles: Archimedes' principle
Air bubbles in the blood sample: better or worse oxygenation? Dalton's law and Fick's law
Cold, sparkling drinks, and blood gas analysis: Henry's law
Bubbles, tracheal tube cuffs, and reservoir bags: surface tension and Laplace's law
Part III. Fluids in motion or at rest: masks, tubes, invasive pressure measurement, and hemodynamics
Continuity equation and Bernoulli' theorem: Venturi masks, Hemodynamic instability, and Echocardiography
From tubes and catheters to the basis of hemodynamics: the Hagen-Poiseuille equation
Toothpaste, sea deeps, and invasive pressure monitoring: Stevin's law and Pascal's principle
Part IV. Heat, temperature, and electric current: hemodynamic monitoring and more
Heat, cardiac output, and what is the future: laws of thermodynamics
Electric current, Ohm's law, circuit elements: hemodynamic monitoring, temperature probes, platelet function testing, and defibrillators
Part V. Forces in action
Doors, steering wheels, laryngoscopes, and central venous catheters: the moment of a force
Friction, trigonometry, and Newton' laws: all about Trendelenburg position
Part VI. Inhalation anesthesia
Physics in a Vaporizer: saturated vapor pressure, heat of vaporization, and Thermal expansion
Part VII. Electromagnetic waves and Optics
Light, air pollution and pulse oximetry: the Beer-Lambert law
Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves: Blue Skies, Cerebral Oximetry, and Some Reassurance about X-Rays
Sunsets and Optical Fibers: Fermat's Principle and Snell's Law
Part VIII. Sound waves, resonance, ultrasonography
Origin and propagation of sound, Resonance: the Voice of Xenon & and something more on Invasive Pressure Monitoring
Ultrasounds and Doppler Effect: Echocardiography and, again, Hemodynamic Monitoring
Action movies and Echocardiography: the Nyquist theorem
Part IX. And Finally
Activated clotting time and & A brief look at Relativity.
