  Management of Respiratory Failure or ARDS In COVID Patients Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is one of the most serious complications associated with a higher risk of mortality in COVID-19 patients. It can originate from the vascular or gas side of the alveoli. Although the site of entry or spread of COVID-19 is inhalational, alveolar infiltrates have been commonly found in the chest x-rays or computed tomography scans of patients with this infection. Respiratory distress also appears to include vascular damage that can potentially mandate a unique treatment approach other than what is recommended for patients who have developed ARDS due to other causes. Also, a wide variation in the mortality rate has been observed across different intensive care units. This further raises the possibility that the differences in the approach to ventilatory management could be a factor contributing to the varying outcomes. We are going to discuss this in detail in our ‘COVID19 PANDE

What are the therapeutic benefits of hypothermia?

Image
  Hypothermia is one of the advanced methods of treatment found to be beneficial in a large number of patients. The therapeutic role of hypothermia has been noticed in a range of health disorders including those affecting the brain, lungs, liver, and kidneys. Therapeutic hypothermia is expected to improve the survival rate of patients considerably and also support the faster recovery of patients with impaired brain or heart functions. Therapeutic hypothermia may also playa critical role in preventing the risk of mortality in patients with acute lung injury and myocardial infarction. It can buy more time for the patient and make a huge difference to the outcomes. Hypothermia may also form a vital element in the life-saving processes for patients with medical emergencies. During hypothermia, the body temperature of the patient is reduced to about 93-degree Fahrenheit. The temperature is maintained for 24 hours. This approach would decrease inflammation in the affected tissues a

What Is the Endocannabinoid System and What Is Its Role?

Image
  The endocannabinoid system (ECS) refers to a unique molecular system that is responsible for balancing and regulating several physiological processes in the body such as immune response, appetite, communication between cells, metabolism, and memory. Through this system, cannabinoids can interact with the metabolic enzymes and receptors in the body to trigger the therapeutic effects. In spite of the integral role played by the endocannabinoid system in our body, it was discovered only recently. The importance of the endocannabinoid system is also being understood by researchers and the medical community only in the past few decades. The ECS involves 3 basic components: endocannabinoids, enzymes, and receptors. Contrary to what most people believe, these 3 components of ECS are active in the body even when a person does not use cannabis or CBD oils. This marks why it is important to be aware of the role of ECS and the therapeutic benefits it offers to regulate the physiological

The Therapeutic Benefits of CBD Oil

Image
  With the CBD industry flourishing for the past few years, doctors and healthcare workers are commonly being asked questions about the safety and efficacy of CBD oils. Several research studies have already proven the therapeutic role of CBD oils and the efficiency of these compounds in the management of several acute and chronic illnesses. An increasing number of people today is eager to try CBD oils to stay healthier. At the same time, since CBD oils are derived from the cannabis plant, people are apprehensive of its safety as the same plant is used in the preparation of recreational drugs like marijuana known to cause serious addictions. Hence, it is common for people to confide in their physicians before they start using CBD oils and confirm that it would be safe for them to use it for improving their health. This is one of the reasons why doctors, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners must keep themselves updated about the safety and efficacy of CBD oils. What is CB

What Is The Role Of Nicotine Addiction In COPD Management?

  What Is The Role O f Nicotine Addiction In COPD Management ?   COPD is a chronic progressive disorder that is characterized by breathing difficulties that tend to become worse over a period of time. Initially, patients may experience occasional episodes of dyspnea. However,as the disease progresses, the episodes tend to occur more frequently. Also, it can make it increasingly difficult for patients to perform physical activities. In advanced cases, patients may experience dyspnea after walking a few steps or even at rest. The progress of these symptoms can be slowed down by identifying and eliminating the risk factors for COPD. Cigarette smoking is the most common contributor to the development of COPD and asthma. It can not just trigger the development of these diseases but also accelerate their progress thereby increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality significantly. Hence, the treatment of COPD must be focused on nicotine de-addiction. It should be noted that th

COVID-19 Pandemic Treatments, Vaccinations, And Herd Immunit y   As the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise across the world, everyone including patients, physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers are awaiting vaccines that might finally put an end to this challenging phase. There has also been a lot of discussion about herd immunity and how it would change the course of this pandemic. Most of us have our hopes pinned on herd immunity at least until vaccinations are made available. But what exactly is herd immunity and how it develops? Also, once we have it, will it really diminish the spread of this virus and reduce the need for social distancing and masks? These are the topmost questions in the minds of people. Let's find answers to what herb immunity actually means. What is herd immunity? Herd immunity is formed when enough patients have developed immunity to any specific infectious disease such that further community transmission is significantly reduced o
