Needles and Syringes

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 06:28:49 -0700

Some injectors do use a new syringe every time, but for the large number who don't, they must re-use injecting equipment. Prevention of deliberate or accidental re-use of someone else's equipment is a priority for harm reduction services. Nevershare syringeswill not necessarily increase the number of syringes available (and they're in no way designed to impede efforts to increase coverage and syringe distribution) but they should reduce accidental sharing due to equipment mix up, and may increase coverage by encouraging injectors to change behaviour and conserve their equipment. Even if we increase injecting equipment supply massively, there are still likely to be injectors who, because of social or geographical isolation or preference who continue to store and re-use injecting equipment and for them the mixed colours will remain a valuable tool to avoid sharing, and for those using a new syringe every time,the 'nevershare' brandingl reinforces this key message. RAPE victims and hospital workers injured by dirty needles should take an immediate cocktail of AIDS drugs to reduce the risk of HIV infection, says a leading British expert. Brian Gazzard, clinical director of the AIDS unit at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, wants British hospitals to follow the example of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Last month the CDC issued new guidelines advising healthworkers to take a combination of three AIDS drugs if they stab themselves with a dirty needle.

Lympedema Pumps / Accessories

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 12:10:00 -0700

Types of Pumps There are currently two types of pumps that are widely accepted for the treatment of lymphedema. A major difference in these types of pumps is the way in which the preparatory phase is managed. Sequential Gradient pump The Sequential Gradient pump, such as the one shown here which is treating the patient's leg, is an automated pump that pushes air into channels built into the garment worn by the patient. When in use, the controls of the pump cause the garment to inflate and release in gentle sequential movements that imitates the natural flow of lymph from the distal end of the limb (hand or foot) toward the trunk of the body. With this pump style, the "preparatory phase" is performed manually either by the patient or lymphedema therapist before the garment is donned. Before using the pump for the first time, consult with your lymphedema therapist as to the position of the limb being treated, the pressure settings on the pump, and the suggested frequency and length of each treatment. The FlexiTouch Pump The FlexiTouch pump, such as the one shown below is treating the patient's arm, differs from other pumps in that it automatically completes both treatment phases. When you receive your pump the settings should be adjusted for both the preparatory phase and the treatment phase including the proper pressure and length of treatment. The garment is carefully donned and the patient assumes the recommended position before the system is turned on. After the system has completed the preparatory phase it will automatically moves into the drainage phase. It is important that both phases by completed at one time. This takes about an hour each day.

Enteral Nutrition

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:08:52 -0700

The National Cancer Ass. said that Enteral Nutrition is "A form of nutrition that is delivered into the digestive system as a liquid. Drinking nutrition beverages or formulas and tubefeeding are forms of enteral nutrition. People who are unable to meet their needs with food and beverages alone, and who do not have vomiting or uncontrollable diarrhea may be given tubefeedings. Tubefeeding can be used to add to what a person is able to eat or can be the only source of nutrition. A small feeding tube may be placed through the nose into the stomach or the small intestine, or it may be surgically placed into the stomach or the intestinal tract through an opening made on the outside of the abdomen, depending on how long it will be used."
