It is administered parenterally by subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection. Each milliliter (mL) contains atropine sulfate, monohydrate 0.1 mg (adult strength) or 0.05 mg (pediatric strength), and sodium chloride, 9 mg. May contain sodium hydroxide and/or sulfuric acid for pH adjustment 0.308 mOsmol/mL (calc.). pH 4.2 (3.0 to 6.5). The solution contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer (except for pH adjustment) and is intended for use only as a single-dose injection. When smaller doses are required the unused portion should be discarded. Atropine Sulfate Injection is a parenteral anticholinergic agent and muscarinic antagonist. Atropine Sulfate, USP is chemically designated 1a H, 5a H-Tropan-3-a ol (±)-tropate(ester), sulfate (2:1) (salt) monohydrate, (C17H23NO3)2 • H2SO4 • H2O, colorless crystals or white crystalline powder very soluble in water. It has the following structural formula: Atrop Atropine, a naturally occurring belladonna alkaloid, is a racemic mixture of equal parts of d- and 1-hyocyamine, whose activity is due almost entirely to the levo isomer of the drug. Sodium Chloride, USP is chemically designated NaCI, a white crystalline powder freely soluble in water. The syringe is molded from a specially formulated polypropylene. Water permeates from inside the container at an extremely slow rate which will have an insignificant effect on solution concentration over the expected shelf life. Solutions in contact with the plastic container may leach out certain chemical components from the plastic in very small amounts; however, biological testing was supportive of the safety of the syringe material.

BASIC LIFE SUPPORT FOR INFANT

PHRONESIS MEDICARE INTERNATIONAL BLS overview for infant Basic life support (BLS) is a basic level of medical care used to help sustain a person who is experiencing cardiac arrest or respiratory failure, until they can be given full medical care by an advanced responder. BLS can be used in any scenario where breathing or heartbeat has been compromised, such as drowning, heart attack, or severe shock (eg, severe loss of blood). BLS is more comprehensive than CPR alone, since it covers additional steps that are not expected from a layperson, as well as techniques for working with other rescuers. The techniques used for BLS vary slightly depending on whether the victim is an adult, child, or infant. This module explains the techniques and procedure for performing BLS on an infant. The adult and child procedures are covered in separate modules. Note: The term 'infant' in this context refers to neonates outside the delivery room setting, up to 12 months old. Children 12...

Nigerian paramedics engaging on BLS training with CCTV Personnel

CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) training is required of many health-care professionals and lay rescuers to help revive, resuscitate, or sustain a person who is experiencing cardiac arrest or respiratory failure.  Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in adults and 88% of all cardiac arrest happen in people’s homes. Providing CPR can double a person’s chance of survival.......

Nigeria Paramedics managing a victim of carbon monoxide poison

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that has no smell or taste. Breathing it in can make you unwell, and it can kill if you're exposed to high levels. Every year there are around 25 deaths from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in England and Wales. After carbon monoxide is breathed in, it enters your bloodstream and mixes with haemoglobin (the part of red blood cells that carry oxygen around your body), to form carboxyhaemoglobin. When this happens, the blood is no longer able to carry oxygen, and this lack of oxygen causes the body’s cells and tissue to fail and die. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning aren't always obvious, particularly during low-level exposure. A  tension-type headache  is the most common symptom of mild carbon monoxide poisoning. Other symptoms include: dizziness nausea (feeling sick) and vomiting tiredness and confusion stomach pain shortness of breath  and d...
