| | Body fluid drainage assembly - Patent 5207661 |
 | | Fluid flow assembly 1 is adapted for fluid communication with a drainage catheter, such as those which are well-known to those skilled in the art. | | | Fluid flow pathway 3 is connected at its downstream end with drip chamber 4 by a connector 12, preferably made of a flexible material such as latex. | | | The present invention is useful in carrying out a variety of surgical procedures which require that fluid be drained from a patient; however, the present invention is particularly useful in draining CSF from a patient, and it will be described in detail with respect to a drainage system which is adapted for that purpose. |

| | Traditional Chinese Medicine theory: qi theory |
| | Qi is attributed to Yang, because it is mobile and functions to move and warm; while the Blood and Body Fluids are attributed to Yin because they are motionless and function to nourish and moisten the human body. | | | Qi, Blood and Body Fluids are the most basic substances that constitute the human body and maintain its functional activities. | | | The defensive ability of the body results from the combined action of a number of physiological functions, of which the function of Qi plays a particularly important role. |

| | Since our bodies rely on the evaporation of sweat as a major method of cooling, high humidity reduces our ability to cool the body, increasing the risk of heat illnesses. | | | Adequate fluid is also critically important in hot environments to help our body thermoregulate (see Heat llnesses page 00). | | | Ultimately, the lack of fluid has minimized the body's active heat loss capabilities to such an extent that the internal core temperature begins to rise. |

| | Fluid Balance |
| | On the other hand an increase in body fluid results in an increase in blood volume. | | | When water loss is greater than water gain the body reaches a state of dehydration, and dehydration stimulates the thirst reflex in three ways: | | | Drinking inhibits the thirst centre by stretching the stomach and intestines and reducing the osmotic pressure of the blood |

| | Dehydration |
| | Severe dehydration (loss of 10-15% of body fluids) is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical care. | | | Mild dehydration is the loss of no more than 5% of the body's fluid. | | | Developing a habit of drinking only in response to the body's thirst signals raises an older person's risk of becoming dehydrated. |

| | Mind&Body: Fluid retention |
| | Most people realise that the human body is mostly water, but few of us recognise the important roles that water plays in our body chemistry. | | | One of water’s most important roles is to act as a medium for electrolytes – often salts of sodium and potassium – which the body keeps in a carefully balanced state of equilibrium. | | | Sometimes, though, the body retains water at levels that lead to bloating. |
