Methods to reduce nosocomial transmission of COVID-19 include a physical barrier such as a towel or mask over the patient's mouth and nose, appropriate use of PPE, minimising the staff involved in resuscitation, and use of mechanical chest compression devices when available. If COVID-19 ...
The model predicts health and economic outcomes and the implications for the social security system during the course of a patient's lifetime. The data for the population of the model were derived from the international literature and local economic databases. RESULTS:The incremental cost per ...
One patient in each group was reported to have ascites and the baseline CVP values were not different between the groups. Liver function tests were measured in less than half of the patients and there was no difference in values between the 2 groups (data not shown). Table 2. Mean ...

If the patient/resident is unresponsive and gasping or breathing abnormally, they require resuscitation. Abnormal breathing may be caused by: Depression of or damage to the respiratory center in the brain Upper airway obstruction Paralysis or impairment of the nerves and/or muscles required for breath...
