Prenatal Use Of Common Epilepsy Drug Tied To Higher Autism Risk

  • Women who take the epilepsy drug valproate (Depacon) during pregnancy may increase the risk of childhood autism in their children, a population-based study showed.
  • In utero exposure to the drug was associated with elevated risks of both autism and autism spectrum disorder, Jakob Christensen, PhD, of Denmark's Aarhus University Hospital, and colleagues found. The study showed that the risks were 2.5% and 4.4%, respectively, and remained significantly elevated after adjustment for parents' epilepsy and psychiatric disease, the group reported in the April 24 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
  • The study included 655,615 children born in Denmark from 1996 through 2006.
  • The American Academy of Neurology recommends avoiding valproate in pregnancy whenever possible due to cognitive and physical birth defect problems for children exposed in utero.

Simplified Automated Ventilator (SAVe)

  • This slimmed-down, straightforward ventilator is smaller and lighter than a standard automated model, weighing just 3.1 pounds (compared to 13 to 14 pounds). It's operated with a single knob, which turns the SAVe on, and allows you to mutes the low-battery alert, turn off the LED lights, or shut both functions off (presumably for stealth operations). The device runs for 3.5 to 6 hours per charge, or it can be plugged in.

  • The point of this thing is to free up a medic's hands in "far-forward theatre" situations. That's jargon for the frontlines, essentially, where combat medics would never be able to haul around a massive, complex auto-ventilator. The current solution is to use an Ambu-bag, a big plastic bulb connected to a breathing mask, which the medic or patient manually pumps. It's a relatively imprecise tool, especially when bullets are cracking overhead, and suddenly you're squeezing irregularly or simply way too fast. SAVe provides even, measured breaths through a mask, ET tube or other patient connection. SAVe's makers aren't sure whether it will be stored in far-forward vehicles or in a medic's kit, or a combination of both, but here's the good news: It's ready right now. 
Careon Medical Disposables 

  • SAVe is in the final stages of FDA approval for military use. Once its cleared, production will begin immediately, and its makers will move on to a larger, more complex version, designed for both military and civilian use. A prototype for that model should be ready in September, with a run at FDA approval happening next year. The point of the follow-up model is to allow for more ventilation options, such as adjusting pressures, volume and rate. It will have preset modes that first responders can use, such as Small, Medium and Large (for the patient's size), and a manual mode to let skilled personnel fine-tune its operation.

And the third major killer is Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI)


MAJOR REASON FOR HAI

Reuse of Medical Devices - instruments, linen, gauze, etc.

Unrestricted movement of staff and visitors.

Not using sterile disposables.Not using medical grade bacteria barrier, breathable fabrics.
Lack of proper training.
