Work After Stroke

Return to work after stroke should consider whether from a functional point of view these workers could be incorporated or not his work, something that in many cases, it is possible. However, it does not occur, since, when it comes to life on others, the law is much more demanding. For example, in the event that a worker suffered an (ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in developed countries), once treated and stabilized it has to be done is to measure their functional capacity by a risk assessment, check if you can reinstate the previously developed activity or whether it is appropriate to change trabajo.Dicha type evaluation is done through a series of tables that stratify the level of effort and energy consumption in METS (amount of oxygen consuming to make an effort) based on performance in a stress test or stress test. These tables quantify the consumption required by each work activity. For example, a work office has a two METS consumption, driving a truck is a consumption of between three and four METS, work with a spade seven METS four kilos, and so on. Return to work after suffering a heart attack Group I, low risk: typically may reinstate a period of about two months to work minimal or mild stress and three months for moderately intense efforts. Group II, medium risk: these patients meet criteria for permanent incapacity to work with responsibility for others. The rest could continue his work provided it does not exceed the capacity achieved with exercise testing. Group III, high risk: they should never join a job that requires effort at moderate or high if you can not provide a solution to your problem and are therefore candidates to be assessed for permanent disability..

Bruce Wienke. Bob Swan takes a slightly different approach. Dr. Wienke, responsible for programmes in the national laboratory simulation of nuclear weapons and calculations of Los Alamos (LANL), became interested in the calculations on the decompression and the implementation of models, transmission of gases, and mechanical phases. He was who developed the model of gradient of reduced bubble (RGBM), a double phase method that facilitates the rise of the diver in the most varied conditions of immersion: immersion in altitude, dive without stops, with stops, during several days, dives, at multiple depths, mixtures, and saturation. Air is mainly composed of 78% nitrogen (N2), 21% oxygen (O2) and 1% argon (Ar), although it also contains carbon dioxide (CO2) and trace amounts of other gases.

When we dive, we metabolizamos oxygen, whereas nitrogen, that it is an inert gas, is stored in our body in the same way as the invisible gas in a closed bottle of soft drink. Everything starts in the lungs, where the alveoli and capillary membranes distributed the nitrogen dissolved in the blood. This enriched in nitrogen blood transported by the arteries then spreads into different tissues of the human body. This is considered an absorption. In decompression models, these tissues are commonly called compartments. The longer we remain submerged, and deeper, more increases the level of nitrogen, until a tissue reaches its saturation point. In the course of one immersion, the tissues become saturated with different levels of nitrogen. This is determined by the level of tissue blood supply.
