At an emergency scene, a rescuer may be exposed to a disease which could cause illness. Although the risk of actual disease transmission is very low, it is still important to protect yourself.

During an emergency, exposure to bloodborne pathogens can happen through: • A direct splash into the rescuer’s eyes, mouth or Wear moisture-proof gloves nose • An opening in the rescuer’s skin, such as a cut, scab, or rash UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS Follow Universal Precautions when giving care at an emergency scene to reduce your exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Assume that all moist body substances are infectious. • Treat all victims as potential carriers of infectious disease. • Wear personal protective equipment (PPE): moisture- proof gloves, mask, gown, eye protection. • Use a CPR barrier for rescue breathing. • Wash hands thoroughly before and after giving care, and after cleaning an accident scene.

  • Stingray Bay: Media Kit
    STINGRAY BAY: MEDIA KIT Stingray Bay has been the talk of the town! What is it? Columbus Zoo and Aquarium guests and members will now have the opportunity to see stingrays up close and to touch these majestic creatures! The Stingray Bay experience will encourage visitors to interact with the Zoo’s brand new school of stingrays by watching these beautiful animals “fly” through the water and dipping their hands in the water to come in contact with them. Where is located? Located in Jungle Jack’s Landing near Zoombezi Bay, Stingray Bay will feature an 18,000-gallon saltwater pool for stingrays to call home. Staff and volunteers will monitor the pool, inform guests about the best ways to touch the animals and answer questions when the exhibit opens daily at 10 a.m. What types of stingrays call Stingray Bay home? Dozens of cownose and southern stingrays will glide though the waters of Stingray Bay. Educational interpreters will explain the role of these stingrays in the environment. Stingrays are typically bottom feeders with molar-like teeth used to crush the shells of their prey such as crustaceans, mollusks, and other invertebrates. I’m excited to touch the stingrays, but is it safe? Absolutely! The rays barbs have been carefully trimmed off their whip-like tails. The painless procedure is similar to cutting human fingernails. Safe for all ages, the landscaped pool features a waterfall and a wide ledge for toddlers to lean against when touching the rays. This sounds cool! How much does it cost? Admission to Stingray Bay is free for Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Gold Members and discounted for Members.

  • Envenimations Par Poissons Tropicaux En Nouvelle-Calédonie
    UNIVERSITE DE NANTES FACULTE DE MEDECINE Année 2012 N° 062 THESE pour le DIPLOME D’ETAT DE DOCTEUR EN MEDECINE Qualification en MEDECINE GENERALE par Amandine COQUET HOUDAYER née le 07 janvier 1984 à Saint Martin Boulogne Présentée et soutenue publiquement le 17 septembre 2012 Envenimations par poissons tropicaux en Nouvelle-Calédonie Etude rétrospective de cas sur 18 mois (janvier 2009 à juillet 2010) Evaluation des pratiques au Service d’Accueil des Urgences du Centre Hospitalier Territorial de Nouvelle-Calédonie JURY : Président : Monsieur le Professeur François RAFFI Directeur de thèse : Monsieur le Docteur Claude MAILLAUD Monsieur le Professeur Michel MARJOLET Monsieur le Professeur Gilles POTEL Monsieur le Docteur Thierry PETELET 1 RESUME: Les envenimations par poissons tropicaux représentent un motif fréquent de consultation en Nouvelle- Calédonie. Les raies armées, poissons-pierres, rascasses et ptérois sont principalement responsables des accidents. Nous avons colligé rétrospectivement les dossiers des passages aux urgences du Centre Hospitalier Territorial de Nouvelle-Calédonie de janvier 2009 à juillet 2010 pour ce motif, soit 51 piqûres de raie, 9 de poisson-pierre, 14 de rascasse et aucune de ptérois, afin de déterminer les caractéristiques cliniques de ces accidents. Nos résultats apparaissent comparables à ceux de la littérature. Un protocole codifie la prise en charge de ces envenimations aux urgences du CHT de Nouméa. Tous critères confondus, l’adhésion du personnel soignant du service à ce protocole apparait être de 44,2% aux mesures de première intention préconisées de manière systématique, et de 33,5% aux mesures à adapter au cas par cas. Néanmoins, les complications de ce type d’accident ne semblent pas plus fréquentes dans notre série que dans celles de la littérature.

    Arkansas Department of Health 4815 West Markham Street ● Little Rock, Arkansas 72205-3867 ● Telephone (501) 661-2000 Governor Asa Hutchinson Nathaniel Smith, MD, MPH, Director and State Health Officer Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the Trauma System Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. Is the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) going to create a new set of trauma triage guidelines? Yes. We have done so and it is now on the ADH website (www.healthy.arkansas.gov). It replaces the decision scheme in the Arkansas Rules and Regulations for Trauma Systems. The new document captioned Field Triage Decision Scheme: The Arkansas Trauma Triage Protocol was fully vetted through the Governor’s Advisory Council on EMS and the EMS Subcommittee of the Governor’s Trauma Advisory Council. It very closely resembles the recently released Centers for Disease Control’s Guidelines for Field Triage of Injured Patients, which is based on recommendations from a panel of national experts. We believe this new document will answer many questions from EMS personnel regarding how to distinguish among the various levels of trauma and when to call the Arkansas Trauma Communication Center (ATCC). EMS should begin using the new Arkansas trauma triage guidelines immediately. 2. If I have a trauma patient, do I have to call the ATCC? Yes. There is an important caveat, however. The ATCC has dealt with a tremendous number of calls in the approximately 15 months of its existence. About 60% of the calls relate to minor trauma patients. You do not have to call the ATCC for minor trauma. In fact, we do not want you to call for minor trauma.
