N95 Respirator Mask

Very often when people begin to learn about avian influenza, jump to the conclusion that because medicine has advanced by leaps from the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic (global epidemic), there is nothing wrong. They were certainly right about the progress of medicine, which has suffered an extraordinary measure. Unfortunately, when it comes to deal with an avian flu pandemic, these advances soon in many areas. To cite the most important influence is caused by influenza virus 1.Bird, only four antiviral drugs approved in U.

S. The virus has an extensive resistance to two of these drugs already and the resistance might develop in the other two occasions are more widely used in a pandemic. The other two drugs, Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Relenza (zanamivir), are extremely rare, and even with the projected increase in production will be offered soon for many years to come. These drugs must be administered within 48 hours of onset of symptoms, which may be difficult for several reasons. Even when available, and given the time, its effectiveness is less than 100 percent.

And since the bird flu is very different from the usual influence are used, higher doses given for a longer period may be necessary to obtain an optimal effect. 2.While we have many wonderful medicinal antibiotics are not effective against bird flu, because antibiotics only treat bacterial infections, viral infections. Antibiotics can be used to treat bacterial infections that develop after viral infection, must treat the body damaged, causing bacterial infections to take over. "This can happen when changes in bacterial pneumonia viral pneumonia.

However, this does not occur in the 1918-1919 Spanish flu in any way, or SARS pandemic in 2003, and not as an important factor for death Avian influenza has occurred to date. Therefore, all our sophisticated antibiotics will not help much with the birds flu.3.The most common cause of death in the 1918-1919 pandemic influenza, SARS and avian flu syndrome acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The virus of these diseases cause severe lung damage, resulting in ARDS. Many treatments have been tried but generally failed.

Patients with ARDS require mechanical ventilation, which means it must be on a mechanical ventilator. These are expensive machines, and supplies to the United States is only slightly exceeds demand during regular flu season. In short, when the bird flu pandemic strikes, there will be enough of these machines that people who develop ARDS will not have access to this treatment. 4.There is potentially save lives, not enough isolation rooms to place a large number of patients with avian influenza, which means more people fall ill from exposure people who have bird flu.

It will not be enough of certain medical equipment, due to increased demand for some items with supplybecause reduces our dependence on a global supply chain, international production and just-in-time. Not there will be enough protective equipment (such as disposable gloves, N95 masks, gowns, face shield or goggles, head caps and shoe covers), increasing the exposure infection.5.During and the next pandemic, won 't enough beds in hospitals for all patients of bird flu. Of Fortune "hospitals" will be created outside of existing hospitals to treat patients patients.

Lee has tried to suppress a sneeze, but could not. Invisible to the naked eye, a cloud of almost five thousand droplets contaminated filled tossed 150 kmh or 100 mph. Some passengers in the wide-body Airbus frowned. Hong Kong to London flight was long and nobody wanted a cold.Lee scheduled every moment of the day of his stay in London to complete the capture. A concert at the Millennium Dome, dinners at one of the best hotels, shops in malls crowded – "What a coincidence," Lee thought.

All she had to concentrate on certain hours in front of the international drug trade. It 'was his job to China sales of the current trend toward leaders who also posting to Heathrow, one of the world's busiest airports. "World leaders will receive only good news for me," Lee said. "Too bad I do not feel better" The DiagnosisLee was exhausted. He had a cough, sore throat, runny nose and muscle aches. A fever has started, but only with Lee began breathing difficulties, decided to help.

Doctors immersed in the discussion. The experts were brought in. It was then decided that Lee's body was fighting against two powerful virus. Lee had taken a highly contagious virus – influenza. However, during the same period, also took half of the virus called H5N1. Both viruses have mixed their genes and form a hybrid. Being a radically new pathogen, Lee had no immunity. Lee was not alone in this fight. Passengers on flight from Hong Kong, Lee flights linking major cities in most continents.

World leaders have focused on Office Lee also returned sick. Unfortunately, some members of the medical staff, in which Lee was also under-diagnosed is not Lee was the crowd interaction at concerts, restaurants and sales calls. The so-called bird flu bird flu are its wings. It 'was the beginning of the first pandemic of the 21st century NewsHad Lee or any other time is known, it would have taken antiviral hope to block or at least slow the replication of the virus. At least the severity of some symptoms may be relieved not to mention a reduction in the duration of the disease.

But time expired – required antiviral drugs must be taken within 48 hours after the first phase of disease.It was not long before Lee was a respirator in quarantine. It was not long before the media found out Lee had the flu. The audience was nervous. The number of patients with flu – real or imagined – dramatic, but the nurses and hospital staff has been strangely absent from increased leisure delayed or simply not report to work at all. It 'was announced that schools, restaurants and non-essential businesses would be closed.

No date was given – no one knew how long the measures will be presented AnnouncementWisely public, the public were advised to stock up on food and water. Newspapers advised people to obtain supplies of toothpaste, toilet paper and treasury (cash). People said the store public transport during peak hours and was sentenced to 24 days of operation. But despite warnings of contrast, medical offices', Hospitals and clinics have been exceeded. Paper masked faces waited hours for the pharmacies, hoping to obtain relief.
