Emergency intervention

Monitoring and Managing Adverse Drug Reactions The nurse observes the patient at frequent intervals, especially during the first 48 hours of therapy. It is important to report to the primary health care provider the occurrence of any adverse reaction before the next dose of the drug is due The nurse should report serious adverse reactions, such as a severe hypersensitivity reaction, respiratory difficulty, severe diarrhea, or a decided drop in blood pressure, to the primary health care provider immediately because a serious adverse reaction may require emergency intervention.

Decontamination typically occurs in two settings as a general cleaning procedure that is part of good laboratory practice, and as an emergency intervention when there has been a significant spill or other accident. 

However, adult PN therapy is not an emergent intervention and should not be initiated until the patient is hemodynamically stable. In general, adults who are not candidates for EN should be considered candidates for PN after 7 to 14 days of suboptimal nutritional intake. Guidelines for use in infants and children are primarily influenced by age. The younger the patient, the sooner PN should be considered.

After first emergency interventions, the main concern was the disposal of toxic waste from the ICMESA exploded reactor. In the spring of 1982, the vessel was emptied under strict safety precautions. The 41 barrels containing residues were transferred to destination. On the other hand, materials from recovery interventions, building demolition and soil removal were stored in two burrows placed in the towns of Seveso (tank A) and Meda (tank B). Tank A hosted material from the Seveso area and also ruins from ICMESA plant, for a total of about 200,000 m3. Tank B, located near the Certesa stream, hosted materials from the contaminated area placed north of ICMESA and TCDD contaminated mud originating from the Seveso purification plant. The total volume of material was about 80,000 m3. 

Before any procedure, tools and equipment should be verified and safety measures established in order to prevent complications and to allow well-timed interventions in case of emergency. Depending on the center s facilities, TLE can be performed in the EP laboratory, in the CAT laboratory, or in the OR. Regardless of surgery location, the room must have an adequate size to contain all necessary materials and allow emergency interventions if necessary. 

The results shown in Figs. 3.1 and 3.2 were obtained with the scheme of Eq. (3.24) with At = 0.01 s and a Runge-Kutta integration of second order with variable step size (cf. [9]). The difference between the two procedures may be neglected in this case. It is obvious that the thermal explosion (runaway) leaves but little time for emergency interventions.

Here we turn to mitigation of the effects of any releases of chlorine after they occur. We consider first release as vapor, whether from a system handling chlorine gas or from a liquid-phase leak, and then the release of relatively large quantities as the liquid. Small leaks sometimes can be dealt with by emergency intervention. Techniques are highly individualized and are not discussed here. The reader is referred instead to EC s GEST 93/179. 

The sufficient measures of reactor safety control and of prevention from radioative material release should be provided in the CEFR so that there is no any emergency intervention requirement for the residents beyond 400 m from the reactor site. 

They are a standard response, a familiar, sometimes weary, even ridiculous rhetoric rather than an exceptional emergency intervention. Used by politicians to orchestrate consent, by business to promote sales. .. and by the media to make home and social affairs newsworthy, moral panics are constructed on a daily basis. ... 

This includes medical, industrial, and research uses of sources or radioactive material for which events warranting emergency intervention to include medical misadmiuistration are possible. 

Euro Chlor offers a Chlorine Safety Manual [265], recommendations for emergency intervention [266], and for safe design, construction, operation of equipment [267].
