What's the difference between salvable and savable?
Salvable
Definition:
(a.) Capable of being saved; admitting of salvation.
Example Sentences:
(1) The use of silastic as a part of the arthroplasty was made when the disc was non-salvable because of perforation or destroyed because of ankylosis or previous surgery.
(2) Reevaluation of screening and diagnostic studies is needed to determine their potential value, particularly in patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease and renal insufficiency and in assessing the potential salvability of the ischemic kidney.
(3) The identification of four (possibly sequential) components of reperfusion-induced injury helps to clarify the situation: a) Reperfusion after brief periods of ischemia can trigger arrhythmias in tissue that is potentially salvable; there is abundant experimental and clinical evidence for this form of reperfusion injury.
(4) This has increased the difficulty of decisions regarding patient salvability and the allotment of resources.
(5) Determining kidney salvability, choosing the optimal form of intervention, and assessing preoperative risk are essential in approaching the treatment of this complex patient group.
(6) c) Reperfusion is commonly thought to cause lethal injury in cells that, until the time of reperfusion, were potentially salvable.
(7) Restoration of blood flow to the ischemic myocardium prevents continuing cell necrosis, but reperfusion may cause irreversible damage to potentially salvable tissue, possibly through the generation of toxic reactive oxygen species.
(8) Once critical ischemia-induced cellular changes have been identified, interventions can be developed to delay their progression such that at the time of reperfusion more cells are potentially salvable.
Savable
Definition:
(a.) Capable of, or admitting of, being saved.
Example Sentences:
(1) The "savable days" method produces a composite measure of the effectiveness of the program as a whole.
