Emergency medical devices and equipment for every office


Accidents happen and emergencies arise in every office and in every industry and being prepared for situations such as these is vital.
Among some of the most common workplace emergencies are heart attacks, breathing difficulty (such as asthma), sprains and cuts causing excessive bleeding. Having the right medical equipment at hand could ensure that a manageable condition doesn’t turn fatal. Of course, this also means that training staff members in basic lifesaving courses should be a priority for every company.
Assessing the most likely emergencies to occur in your office environment is the first step to acquiring relevant medical devices and equipment.
We have compiled a short list of basics but be sure to thoroughly assess your own workplace and build on this list where necessary.
I. Well stocked first aid kit
The most basic of all is a good first aid kit. Band-Aids, antiseptics, gauze, cold packs and slings are all fundamentals. These materials are necessary for preventing blood loss and infections as well as easing pain.
Along with the aforementioned items, scissors, tweezers and disposable surgical gloves should be kept in the kit.
II. Mist Inhaler
It’s estimated that one in 12 people have asthma and the numbers are constantly growing. Having an inhaler ready for sudden attacks is simple as well as easy to operate.
III. Automatic External Defibrillator
Heart attacks can occur anywhere, including the office (especially the office). In America alone, over 600, 000 people die of heart disease every year. An AED is a portable medical device product which analyses the cardiac rhythm of a patient and, when needed, discharges an electrical charge to stabilize the rhythm. Having someone who is trained in using an AED is, of course, essential.
Once you have a good reserve of medical supplies, be sure to establish an emergency protocol. Establishing a plan of action and assigning various responsibilities to specific staff members for an emergency event is beneficial to the whole company. Of course, these are all measures that will assist medical personnel with a wider range of medical devices and supplies once they arrive on the scene and should always be considered as such.

The future of lung function tests for COPD

With the global increase of  lung diseases  such as asthma, severe bronchitis and emphysema,  lung function tests  are becoming a bigger concern for many people. Spirometry  (measuring lung function) is the most well know  pulmonary function test  and vital to diagnose  COPD . Some of the diseases which can be detected are: 1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – main term used to describe lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis etc. 2. Asthma – common and long-term lung disease characterised by coughing, shortness of breath or wheezing. 3. Chronic bronchitis – bronchial tubes become inflamed and produce an excessive amount of mucus. 4. Emphysema – long-term progressive disease where alveoli in the lungs become inflamed causing shortness of breath. 5. Cystic fibrosis – genetic lung disease characterised by frequent lung infections and coughing up mucus as a result of this. 6. Pulmonary fibrosis - interstitial lungdiseases resulting in the

She said,  “I was on a trip with my parents in Central America and we were served fried ants; I remember being so grossed out initially, but when I put the ant in my mouth, I was really surprised because it tasted like food — and it was good!” Stull further added,  “There is a lot of interest right now in edible insects; It’s gaining traction in Europe and in the U.S. as a sustainable, environmentally friendly protein source compared to traditional livestock.” Tiffany Weir, the co-corresponding author and a professor of food science and human nutrition at Colorado State University said,  “Thi
