let's say it's 6.15pm and you're driving home (alone of course) after your day on the job. you're really tired, and frustrated...... suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. you are only five miles from the hospital nearest your home. unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far what to do ? you have been trained in cpr, but the guy that conducted the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself !!! how to survive a heart attack when alone? since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing conscious what to do ? answer: do not panic, but start coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. a deep breath should be taken before each cough, the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. a breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. the squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. in this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital tell as many other people as possible about this. it could save their lives !!! don't ever think that you are not prone to heart attack as your age is less than 25 or 30. nowadays due to the change in the life style, heartattack is found among people of all age groups. be a friend and please send this article to as many friends as possible

Thank you begalli:balloons: my question are their more than 4

i try to search for nursing round and i found there are four types of nursing rounds: 1- matrons' rounds 2- nurse management rounds 3- patient comfort rounds 4- teaching rounds -1-nurse matrons' rounds matrons' rounds, which can provide senior nurses with the opportunity to achieve key aspects of their role. these include ensuring professional and clinical nursing standards, improving infection control -2-nurse management rounds this round involve the nurse in charge of the shift seeing each patient. and it gives the nurse manager an overview of the condition and needs of all the patients on the wards and the ability of staff to meet these needs. also these rounds have potential benefits for patients, relatives, for the nursing team and for other healthcare professionals. -3-patient comfort rounds (pcrs) ( pcrs )are an important part of maintaining and monitoring the fundamental aspects of individual patient care. they should be carried out at 2-hour intervals whenever possible, commencing after lunchtime and continuing for the rest of the day. at night time, pcrs should be carried out before patients go to sleep and again in the early morning. it may be necessary to carry out more regular care to some patients. the purpose of pcrs is to maintain a regular review of the patient nursing needs, support the nursing process and evaluate nursing care. -4-teaching rounds nurses learn in a variety of ways: through courses and accredited program's, seminars, conferences, self-directed study and so on. one of the most effective ways, however, is to participate in special clinical teaching rounds. these are aimed at all learners, whether pre-registration students or qualified staff. teaching round is to learn from direct patient contact with facilitation from an experienced nurse teacher. and also to teach and evaluate nursing care. it is useful in developing clinical practice, evidence-based care -------------------------------------------------------------- references : castledine g, grainger m, close a. university of central england, birmingham, and dudley group of hospitals nhs trust, uk. sud h. mayday university hospital. lannon sl university of north carolina hospitals --------------------------------------------------------------- :balloons: please i am waiting your comment thanks
