Dr. Ribner- Lessons learned treating ebola patients in the U.S.

[chadrn65]

This video was shot on Oct 8^th, not sure if anyone saw this. Dr. Bruce Ribner medical director of the serious communicable disease unit at Emory, talks about lessons learned with ebola in regards to the 3 patients they have treated (prior to the 4^th pt Vinson). He discusses their metabolic abnormalities (Na, K, Mag), enormous third spacing, hypervolemic, and their enormous output of body fluids. He said they learned a lot from these patients. Very interesting and informative if anyone cares to view.

Thank you.

Some of what he said I had imagined including severe electrolyte imbalance.

I learned a lot I hadnt even though of.

I think this information should be available to nurses and physicians.

It is good to know Ebola patients requiring mechanical ventilation have recovered.
