Contraindications
Juz came back from watching movie, Project B with my fren. 2 things they did are medically wrong. juz to poinyt out, for the farn of it :P
1. wrong procedure: they draw blood from an infant using sygringe and needles. the needle punctured the the calf of the infant.
correct procedure: blood is normally draw form an infant by a lancet and capillary tube. the side to be chosen is usually at the heel.
2. wrong procedure: Jacky Chan tried to use a defribillator on the infant. the electric source is from the engine of the car. the makeshift defrib pads are the fingers of both hands of Jacky Chan, with the fingers of the right hand of Jacky placed on the Left chest wall of the infant and the fingers of the left hand placed on the bright chest wall of the infant.
correct procedure: there is no such thing as a correct procedure to defrib an infant as the procedure is not normally performed on an infant. But given the scenario, Jacky did not establish that the infant is not breathing and the heart of the infant is not beating before performing the defrib procedure. using the car engine as the electrical source is dangerous as the highest energy that can be delivered is noramally 360 J to any human being (i think much less ot an infant). next, the positioning of the makeshift defrib pads is incorrect. one should be placed at the left side of the patient’s chest just below and to the side of the left nipple and the placement of the anterior pad on the front of the patient slightly to the right of the patient’s sternum.
as mentioned, i am only writting for fun. :P no intentions to say that it is a lousy movie. in fact, i think it is a great movie! :D highly recommended! :D
