The spherical face shield of an astronaut’s helmet is made from polycarbonate with a yield strength of 105 MPa. The shield has an outside diameter of 358 mm and a thickness of 4.3 mm. If the shield is successfully pressure tested to 840 kPa on Earth, determine the factor of safety with respect to yielding.

A patient in the Surgical Trauma Intensive Care Unit (STICU) develops a sudden onset of narrow-complex tachycardia with a rate of 220 beats per minute. The patient’s blood pressure is 124/64 and the pulse oximetry is 99%. The patient has vascular access in the right arm and has not been given any vasoactive drugs. A 12-lead ECG confirms supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with no evidence of cardiac ischemia. The heart rate has not responded to a modified valsalva maneuver. What is your next action?
