intraosseous access over a central line or to administer drugs via the endotracheal tube. A manual IO needle was placed into the proximal tibia and medication was infused. This rapid IO vascular access quickly allowed adrenalin to be given resulting in return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and palpable pulses (Anson, 2015).These cases highlights the success of IO placement in resuscitative techniques when gaining vascular is essential. The IO use is gaining popularity in the emergencies and…

For this paper, I chose to look into the typical Brazilian diet and analyze it.

According to The Global Heart journal, “Over the last 5 decades, CVD have been the leading cause of death in Brazil” (Mota, Mattos, Oliveira, &…
