Vaccination schedule

While a patient is using mechanical ventilation, every breath is begun by the use of a trigger. Most ventilator modes use a set flow, pressure or time as the trigger. However, in the case of NAVA ventilation the trigger is the electrical signal from the brain to the phrenic nerve. The EdiCatheter transmits this signal and causes the diaphragm to elevate causing negative pressure to inspire flow from the ventilator. The patient’s peak inspiratory pressures (PIP) will vary based on the strength…

Introduced in 1988, the polyvalent MMR vaccine immunises against measles, mumps and rubella. There has been a great deal of controversy with regards to the MMR vaccine, including links to febrile seizures, autism and inflammatory bowel disease. However, the vaccine has proven extremely effective in preventing contagious viral infections. The MMR vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine and two doses are required for complete protection of children, and in some circumstances, adults. Through…

It is true, that the use of vaccines in modern immunisation programs has either eradicated or greatly reduced the incidence of certain diseases throughout the world. Vaccination programs work to not only reduce the chance of disease in the most susceptible individuals but also increase the immunity of the population. Such immunity is referred to as herd immunity. Herd immunity depends on a high proportion of individuals being immunised. When there are a large number of immune individuals in a…

Echinacea works by stimulating the immune system. Whereby antibiotics destroy both good and harmful bacteria Echinacea enables your body to deal with infections and viruses as they happen. Studies show that Echinacea stimulates phagocytosis, a process where white blood cells travel around the body hunting and attacking harmful micro organisms releasing chemicals and digesting them. White blood cells are a major component of the body's inbuilt quick response immune system. Echinacea increases the…
