Resuscitation

Original Article

CPR with Chest Compression Alone or with Rescue Breathing

T.D. Rea and Others

CME Exam  

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest claims hundreds of thousands of lives each year worldwide. Successful resuscitation is challenging but achievable, requiring an interdependent set of actions that consist of early arrest recognition, early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), early defibrillation, expert advanced life support, and timely postresuscitation care.

Clinical Pearls

Clinical Pearl  What is the potential advantage of chest compression alone for CPR?

Chest compression alone may be more acceptable to some laypersons and has the potential physiological advantage of fewer compression interruptions, so that circulation is increased, as compared with traditional CPR, although at a possible cost to oxygenation.

Clinical Pearl  Was there any survival advantage between chest compressions alone and chest compressions with rescue breathing?

No. In this multicenter, randomized trial, CPR instructions consisting of chest compression alone did not increase the rate of survival to hospital discharge overall, as compared with instructions consisting of chest compression plus rescue breathing.

Morning Report Questions

Q. What was the overall rate of survival to hospital discharge among patients with cardiac arrest?

A. The authors observed no significant difference in the rate of survival to hospital discharge (12.5% for instructions to perform chest compression alone and 11.0% for instructions to perform chest compression plus rescue breathing, P=0.31) or the rate of survival to discharge with a favorable neurologic status (14.4% for chest compression alone and 11.5% for chest compression plus rescue breathing, P=0.13).

Q. Which group of patients appeared to have a better outcome when treated with chest compressions alone as compared to chest compressions with rescue breathing?

A. According to subgroup analysis, among patients whose arrest had a cardiac cause, there was a trend toward an increased rate of survival to hospital discharge (15.5%, vs. 12.3% for patients with other causes of arrest; P=0.09) and an increased rate of survival with a favorable neurologic status at discharge (18.9% vs. 13.5%, P=0.03) with chest compression alone.

Acupuncture

Clinical Therapeutics

Acupuncture for Chronic Low Back Pain

B.M. Berman and Others

CME Exam  

Traditional Chinese medicine espouses an ancient physiological system (not based on Western scientific empiricism) in which health is seen as the result of harmony among bodily functions and between body and nature. Internal disharmony is believed to cause blockage of the body's vital energy, known as qi, which flows along 12 primary and 8 secondary meridians.

Clinical Pearls

Clinical Pearl  According to traditional Chinese medicine, how is acupuncture thought to work?

The insertion of acupuncture needles at specific points along the meridians is supposed to restore the proper flow of qi.

Clinical Pearl  What pathophysiological phenomena have been identified in association with acupuncture?

Local anesthesia at needle-insertion sites completely blocks the immediate analgesic effects of acupuncture, indicating that these effects are dependent on neural innervation. Acupuncture has been shown to induce the release of endogenous opioids in brain stem, subcortical, and limbic structures. Acupuncture also causes effects on local tissues, including mechanical stimulation of connective tissue, release of adenosine at the site of needle stimulation, and increases in local blood flow.

Morning Report Questions

Q. What do the data from the most recent well-powered clinical trials of acupuncture conclude?

A. The most recent well-powered clinical trials of acupuncture for chronic low back pain showed that sham acupuncture was as effective as real acupuncture. The simplest explanation of such findings is that the specific therapeutic effects of acupuncture, if present, are small, whereas its clinically relevant benefits are mostly attributable to contextual and psychosocial factors, such as patients' beliefs and expectations, attention from the acupuncturist, and highly focused, spatially directed attention on the part of the patient.

Q. What guidance do the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society provide for the use of acupuncture for chronic low back pain?

A. The American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society have issued joint clinical practice guidelines recommending that clinicians consider acupuncture as one possible treatment option for patients with chronic low back pain who do not have a response to self-care. The level of supporting evidence for this recommendation was characterized as fair.

"Dispatcher instruction consisting of chest compression alone did not increase the survival rate overall, although there was a trend toward better outcomes in key clinical subgroups. The results support a strategy for CPR performed by laypersons that emphasizes chest compression and minimizes the role of rescue breathing."

GENOMA - EL BIOCHIP SUSTITUIRA LOS DIAGNÓSTICOS

GENOMA - EL BIOCHIP SUSTITUIRA LOS DIAGNOSTICOS TRADICIONALES DE ALGUNAS ENFERMEDADES

 


Valencia, 
El biochip y las nuevas tecnologías de la biomedicina sustituirán en un futuro a los diagnósticos basados en pruebas descriptivas, como los recuentos sanguíneos, la comprobación de temperatura corporal y el examen de los síntomas. Con el biochip es posible conseguir en poco tiempo abundante información genética -tanto del individuo como del agente patógeno-,  que permitirá elaborar vacunas, medir las resistencias de las cepas de la tuberculosis a los antibióticos o identificar las mutaciones que experimentan algunos genes y que desempeñan un papel destacado en ciertas enfermedades tumorales, como el gen p53 en los cánceres de colon y de mama. En la actualidad, en Estados Unidos existen portadores del VIH, causante del SIDA, que reciben una combinación de fármacos basada en un análisis previo del genotipo del virus. Durante el VII Encuentro Internacional sobre el Proyecto Genoma Humano, que se celebra Valencia, se puso de manifiesto que el objetivo que  se pretende con estos pequeños artilugios es desarrollar técnicas que permitan detectar cualquier enfermedad a partir de una simple gota de sangre.

26 Jul 2010 ... EL FACTOR HUMANO de Javier Pérez de Cuéllar (Perú) Quinto Secretario
Preparándome para esta entrevista, me sorprende lo difícil que es encontrar datos sobre su vida personal.
Usted ha sido muy reservado: ¿eso ha sido por necesidad profesional o por inclinación propia?
Es una cuestión personal. A lo largo de mis estudios, por ejemplo, yo siempre tuve 4 o 5 amigos, nunca más.

Yo no soy una persona que intime, como decimos los peruanos. No intimo, puedo tener un buen amigo, pero
ese amigo nunca va a ser mi confidente, ni yo quisiera ser el suyo.
Y no lo ha echado de menos…
Nunca, jamás. Mi consejera es la máquina de afeitar.
Sueña tremendamente racionalista, ¿no?
Exactamente.
Pero no hay momento de duda, de angustia, de sufrimiento, incluso en los que…
(Interrumpe)
de sufrimiento, desde luego. No… no he tenido penas cercanas. En mi familia

todos están vivitos, tengo penas lejanas, pero cercanas, no.
¿De modo que la timidez no ha sido un factor poderoso en su vida?
No. Sin duda, alguna veces he podido ser más audaz, pero no está en mi naturaleza, serlo.

Seguramente –dice sonriendo de pronto- porque inconscientemente yo sé que tengo suerte.
Entonces si tú en el fondo sabes que tienes suerte, ya no necesariamente la audacia. Comprendes ¿no?
Sí: usted confía en lo que le va a pasar.
Exactamente.
Dígame, esta naturaleza reservada de la que hablamos, ¿lo ha ayudado mucho en su

trabajo diplomático?
Sí, me ha ayudado mucho. ¿Y sabe por qué? Porque no incomoda a los demás.

Esa cualidad te hace no atractivo, pero, por lo menos, muy soportable para los demás.
Entre a Relaciones Exteriores a los 20 años, sin proponérmelo realmente. Se presentó

la oportunidad de hacerlo en Relaciones Exteriores por medio de amistades y contactos
 familiares, esa cosa tan peruana.

Me ha impresionado la noticia que han fallecido la interna de medicina y el medico residente, si esto es verdad es una verdadera negligencia del sistema. El no usar el perfil epidemiologico e incluir el diagnostico de peste en su fase septicemica ( neumonica) habiendo sido notificados que hace 4 semanas atras ya habia un brote de peste en la zona.


Para recordarles solamente comento que un nicho epidemiologico de peste no se activa en forma individual, cuando un nicho esta activo ya deben estar tamabien las otras zonas infestadas con roedores infectados, pero resistentes a la enfermedad. Como me decia mi maestro el Dr. Nicho en los anos 90 , "...si la peste nos sigue significa que no hemos podido investigar apropiadamente los brotes..."

La Peste Bubónica


Principal Salud a tu alcance


¿Qué es la peste bubónica?

Es una enfermedad infecciosa aguda, causada por la bacteria Yersinia Pestis. Estas bacterias se encuentran en los roedores salvajes pequeños y en sus pulgas.

¿Cómo se transmite?

La enfermedad puede transmitirse a los seres humanos mediante la mordedura de las pulgas infectadas, la mordedura directa de los roedores o a través del contacto directo con los tejidos de los animales infectados.

También puede ser transmitida mediante aerosoles, inhalación de la bacteria (bioterrorismo). Es posible la transmisión de persona a persona.

¿Cúales son los síntomas?

  • Escalofríos.
  • Fiebre.
  • Inflamaciones en los ganglios - bubones (adenopatías).

Si la enfermedad fue transmitida por inhalación, se denomina peste neumónica, ya que se infecta a los pulmones; en este caso, los primeros signos de la enfermedad son fiebre, dolor de cabeza, debilidad, tos productiva.

¿Qué tan pronto aparecen los síntomas?

Si la enfermedad fue transmitida por las pulgas, los síntomas aparecen dos a ocho días después.

Si la enfermedad fue transmitida por inhalación, los síntomas aparecen uno a tres días después.

Pancreatic Cancer 2008 Edition



 

Since the previous M.D. Anderson Solid Tumor Oncology Series publication on pancreatic cancer, there have been major advances in our understanding of molecular events which underlie pancreatic cancer development, both in the sporadic and inherited forms. We have seen the development of the first mouse models that accurately recapitulate features of the human disease. Several landmark clinical trials in both resectable and metastatic pancreatic cancer have been completed, raising new questions about the standard of care in this disease. Finally, the era of targeted biologic therapies has engendered new excitement about the prospects of more rapid progress in understanding and successfully treating this dreadful disease. Therefore, it is an appropriate time to review these important advances and outline areas of controversy and question in pancreatic cancer biology and treatment.
