How can I get certified in cardiopulminary resuscitation (CPR)?
There are local classes available in most areas. Depending on your job, your workplace may provide the training necessary to be certified. Also, local community colleges and programs offer certification.
What are the fundamental properties of the heart?
Type your answer here... your heart pumps oxygenated blood to cells throughout the body...and every cell needs oxygen to stay "alive". Cells are the foundation of every part of your body of course including organs...without oxygen the cells will die and thus you die without it...a primary example is when a person is choking and cannot breathe (supplying oxygen) to the heart your body (cells) begin to die....CPR Cardiopulminary Resusitation can potentially save someone from death by both supplying oxygen by breathing into the mouth and thus into the lungs and reviving the heart to supply this oxygen throughout the body
Is there any treatment for herpangina in 7 month old child other than IV feeding if you cannot get them to eat?
Treatment Like the common cold, treating herpangina means treating the symptoms and easing the patient's discomfort. For children, this means ensuring they get the proper amounts of fluids and food, because herpangina can cause painful swallowing and a loss of appetite. Offer a bland, soft diet devoid of salt, spices and citrus to lessen the pain of eating. Apple juice and warm chicken broth are appropriate for young children, and older children can suck on hard candy or gargle with salt water to reduce discomfort. Cold drinks and milkshakes also can ease the pain. Medication Pain relievers containing acetaminophen are effective in treating fever, headache and body aches associated with herpangina. Over-the-counter medications are also recommended to battle secondary symptoms such as runny nose, vomiting or diarrhea. Topical medications containing benzocaine or xylocaine, such as Anbesol or Orajel, can be applied to the sores. A physician need not be consulted unless the mouth sores, sore throat or fever do not subside after five days. Herpangina rarely lasts longer than a week or results in any serious symptoms or permanent damage. There have been a very small number of cases in which cardiopulminary failure has occurred, and these mostly involve children less than one year old. Common hygienic techniques such as hand-washing will help you avoid contracting herpangina.
