#redes #tcp-ip
Características Básicas. Los servicios que TCP proporciona para la comunicación entre aplicaciones, pueden caracterizarse en los cuatro puntos siguientes: - Cuando dos aplicaciones transfieren grandes cantidades de datos, podemos pensar en esos datos como secuencias de octetos. El módulo TCP del nodo destino entrega las secuencias de octetos que recibe a la capa superior, tal y como la capa superior del nodo origen se la entregó a TCP. - Circuito virtual: TCP proporciona un servicio de comunicación orientado a la conexión. De esta forma TCP suministra un servicio fiable de transporte de datos de extremo a extremo. Entre otros servicios, TCP proporciona el establecimiento de la conexión, la transferencia de información y la desconexión. - Buffers de datos. Las aplicaciones transfieren sus datos en forma de cadenas de octetos al módulo TCP. Este agrupa o divide las cadenas de octetos recibidas en función del tamaño del paquete que puede transmitir. Para hacer más eficiente la transmisión y reducir el tráfico en la red, es necesario que el módulo TCP disponga de buffers donde acumular la información. Obviamente estos buffers pueden retrasar la transmisión de determinada información. Cuando es necesario realizar la transmisión inmediata de algunos datos, puede solicitarse a TCP que transmita dicha información (push), aún cuando su tamaño sea menor que el que proporciona mayor rendimiento. - Conexión full-duplex: |TCP/IP permite que las conexiones establecidas entre dos nodos sean concurrentes o simultáneas en ambos sentidos. Las aplicaciones ven este servicio como dos canales de transmisión (uno de entrada y otro de salida), sin interacción aparente.

Anti-Alopecia Recommendations • Reposition head every 30 minutes reduced the incidence of alopecia from 14% to 1% in a prospective study in cardiac surgical patients. • Remember that when you lift the head forward, your ETT is pushed forward and if the patient is light, they will gag, it can also change the position of your LMA, always consider listening with your stethoscope after a position change

• The cardiovascular response to head up tilt of 75 degrees for three minutes can be a useful indicator of the magnitude of acute blood loss • If sustained tilt causes an increase in HR of more than 25 bpm, but does not produce hypotension or syncope: • The blood volume deficit is 9 - 14 mL/kg • If syncope occurs on tilting: • The deficit is likely to be as much as 20 mL/kg
