Answer 1

​​​​​​WHILE CONSIDERING ABOUT LIFE SAVING MEASURES ESPECILALY CARDIO PULMONARY RESUSCITATION AND

FIRST AID THE MOST IMPORTANT AIM OF HEALTH CARE TEAM IS TO SAVE THE LIFE OF PATIENT .HOWEVER IN

SOME  TIMES WE COME ACROSS WITH CERTAIN CHALLENGES .SOMETIMES IN LIMITED SETUP WE FORCE TO

DO CPR AND FIRST AID .THIS MAY INCLUDE LACK OF MANPOWER ,ADVANCED EQUIPMENTS AND EVEN PROPER

MEDICATION ALSO .APART FROM THAT THE FAMILY MEMBERS ARE UNAWARE ABOUT SUCH PROCEDURES .IN A

CRUICAL TIME PERIOD DEFINTELY IT WOULD BE A HERCULEAN TASK TO REASSURE THEM ABOUT THE

POSSIBILITIES AND OUTCOMES OF PROCEDURES .

IN ADDITION TO THAT THE CHANCE OF OCCURING CROSS INFECTION WHILE INTERACTING WITH SOME

POSITIVE CASES .ESPECIALLY AT THE TIME WHEN HEALTH CARE TEAM IS UNAWARE ABOUT THE PATIENTS

OLD MEDICAL HISTORY .SUCH INCIDENTS HAVE REPORTED MANY TIMES IN HOSPITALS .

IN A HOSPITAL ENVIORMENT IT WOULD BE TACKLE EASILY FOR THE MEDICAL TEAM TO DEAL WITH CPR AND

OTHER PROCEDURES .BUT THE CONCERN IS THAT IN A PUBLIC PLACE IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICUILT DUE TO

FOLLOWING FACTS . FIRSLTY THE LACK OF TRAINED PEOPLE AND PROPER ASSISTANCE AND COORDINATION

.SECONDLY THEIR MIGHT BE A CHANCE OF PANIC BY THE PEOPLE .

FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I COME ACROSS WITH MANY CODE BLUES AND RESUCITATION AT SIMILAR

TIME PERIOD IN CLINICAL SET UP .
