Tetanus

Even to day, some one comes and ask for ATS injection. Anti tetanus serum injection is very dangerous to give. The patient may get the anaphylactic reaction. This preparation is no longer used. Any serum preparation is dangerous. You need to be protected by anti tetanus injection. With proper wound care the anti tetanus serum is not required.

It would be a good Idea to get one just in case.

I believe that in some countries (e.g. the UK) there is routine inoculation provided for tetanus.

Many infections are visible. You can see them or feel them. A tetanus infection differs. A long pointed nail might give a deep puncture wound. The outer wound might heal. Deep inside a tetanus infection lurks. It could be treated by antibiotics if anyone knew it existed but no one does. The person feels a little lethargic. So what, doesn't everyone some time? Then the patient starts feeling really lousy. He goes to the doctor. Tetanus. The doctor puts the patient in the hospital. Oxygen. IV drips with antibiotics added. Sometimes the patient pulls through, sometimes not.

Many needless deaths have occurred because a British Doctor lied on a witness stand about vaccines causing autism. He should be hanged as should be the lawyers involved in that fraud.

shooting tetanuses is banned

When a 30 year old is given the tetanus toxoid administered by a physicians assistant the CPT code is 90714. The tetanus toxoid is an immunization.

Yes.

What organs are affected by tetanus?

Any puncture wound by ferrous metal or any material that has Clostridium tetani bacterial can cause Tetanus.

no it should not. u should see a doctor about that

compelete is applying stimuli at a rate that the cell can not relax between subsequent contractios. The max force will allow the cell to freeze, incompete is when the cell can not be compelety relaxed after contraction

Chlorine added to drinking water and swimming pools has revolutionised the safety of drinking water throughout the world. The gas dissolves in water and fatallly damages the cell walls of water born bacteria such as eschera coli, (E coli) and cholera. If the water is left to stand the chlorine exits the water and the taste disappears.

A source of safe water is the basis of modern civilization

Depression and lack of social activity

tetanus can kill, so it's important not to get tetanus.

Neonatal tetanus in newborns can be caused by cutting the umbilical cord with an unsterile instrument or by improper care of the umbilical stump.

I doubt it would, but I guess it's possible. If you don't get your period again next month, speak to your doctor

Yes there is a vaccine for tetanus. It is given as a preventative to babies in a three part series together with the vaccine for Diptheria and acellular Pertussis. The vaccine is known as DTaP. Every ten years people should get a Tetanus booster shot. The booster, again is not given alone, but rather as part of the Tdap vaccine. The change in name indicates that the same amount of tetanus toxoid is injected, but a smaller portion of diptheria toxoid and acellular pertussis is injected.

CPT: 90703 (Vaccines, Toxoids, Tetanus); 90471 (Immunization Administration, One Vaccine/Toxoid)

It means your tetanus vaccine is wearing off, and you should get another one.

humm i do believe it was some type of wooden wedge screwed in between the 2 front teeth...

no, not all the time depending on the size of the cut. Just remember to clense the wound or to close the wound so no bacteria is let in. If bacteria is let in then you would need a tetnis shot.

yes you may..

As far as I can find it is positively recommended that if a pregnant woman is not protected she should have tetanus toxoid in the second or third trimester, as the large open wound in the uterus and the umbilical cord of the baby are open pathways for tetanus to enter the body.

Tdap is recommended for pregnant women caring for babies under 12 months, health care workers who work with children, or whose community is experiencing an outbreak. Women outside these categories can get the Tdap immediately after delivering, or during pregnancy, after discussion with her health care provider.

It binds to the tetanus toxin in your blood, blocking the toxin's action on the body's systems. If you have completed your tetanus vaccine schedule, anti-tetanus serum is not required as your blood already contains the apparatus to produce this itself.

Tetanus can be treated once symptoms appear, but it may become a medical emergency. It is better to have a vaccination before beginning any work that could increase the risk of tetanus. Tetanus vaccinations provide years, even a lifetime of immunity.
