摘要:

Cafe coronary or foreign body upper airway obstruction claims more than 3,000 deaths each year in the United States. Early recognition of airway obstruction is imperative, because hypoxia of only four to six minutes' duration may result in irreversible brain damage. Fortunately, the foreign body preventing adequate air exchange can often be dislodged and expelled once the correct emergency procedures are implemented. The Heimlich maneuver or external subdiaphragmatic abdominal thrust is recognized as the basic procedure for relief of complete larynxltrachea obstruction. This technique, by elevating the diaphragm, can force a suflicient quantity of air from the lungs to create an artificial cough that is often of adequate force and duration to expel the obstructing foreign body from the airway. If non-invasive procedures prove to be ineffective, a cricothyrotomy should be performed by trained rescuers. Many of the victims offoreign body airway obstruction are either children or elderly. Most foreign body airway obstruction deaths can be avoided i f the rescuer has been trained in the proper treatment.

摘要:

Estimates are that 2 million women are battered each year by their male partner. To prevent battering and promote physical safety, Planned Parenthood of Houston and. Southeast Texas added four abuse-assessment questions to the standard intake form for all initial and annual-visit clients. To establish the prevalence of battering, all intake forms completed at four clinics during a one-month period were analyzed. A total of 793 forms were reviewed. The prevalence of physical battering was 8.2 percent. When the characteristics of the battered women were compared with the non-battered, statistically significant differences existed. Information on the health consequences of battering are presented along with suggested assessment questions.
