MITIGATION PHASE OF H1N1 OUTBREAK !!



H1N1 yang menular seluruh dunia bagaikan menyentap semua bertindak , bagai reflex yang sudah hyper. Alhamdulilah , setakat ini tiada kes kematian H1N1 di dalam negara. Seluruh tenaga pekerja kesihatan semacam exhausted dengan wabak ini, membendung dan merawat kes kes positif. Sekarang kita telah memasuki fasa mitigasi. Apa tu ??

Mitigasi adalah fasa kita membendung komplikasi kerana H1N1 is everywhere in our community. Mengikut kenyataan akhbar 10 JUlai oleh KKM dan diperkukuhkan dengan pelaksanaan, kes kes di rawat kini sebagai seasonal flu dimana kes kes yang ditahan di wad adalah kes moderate to severe sahaja dan mereka ini sahaja diambil throat swab.


Yang pentingnya pesakit ada ILI (Influenza-like-illness) symptoms. Pengalaman terlibat dalam kawalan wabak dan jugak tempoh mitgasi memang memenatkan, menjadi hotline seluruh negeri bertanya tentang protokol.. memang penat tapi exciting !! Etika batuk yang baik juga adalah penting ..
Clinical assessment tool for moderate to severe influenza:

Patients with ILI and any of the following parameters should be considered for admission to the of nearest designated hospital :
Respiratory impairment: any of the following
Tachypnoea, respiratory rate > 24/min
Inability to complete sentence in one breath
Use of accessory muscles of respiration, supraclavicular recession
Oxygen saturation < 92% on pulse oximetry
Decreased effort tolerance since onset of ILI
Respiratory exhaustion
Chest pains
Evidence of clinical dehydration or clinical shock
Systolic BP < 90mmHg and/or diastolic BP < 60mmHg
Capillary refill time > 2 seconds, reduced skin turgor
Altered Conscious level (esp. in extremes of age)
New confusion, striking agitation or seizures
Other clinical concerns:
Rapidly progressive (esp. high fever > 3 days) or serious atypical illness
Severe & persistent vomiting

here we have extra precaution if the person have a flu..mmg x bagi datang kerja..adoii

they are still doing the thermal screening in our airport..perhaps precaution is better than cure :)

Inah :
Precaution is definitely better than cure...but there are lots of resource and manpower needed for the prevention but since H1N1 already in our community...we try to prevent complications now

catz sgt risau dgn H1N1 now ni..
and now i am a frequent flyer..
lagiklah..
so wut catz doing now is...nak jejak kaki ke airport pakai mask (ada yg kata tak de kesan..)...tapi at least i berjaga2..coz dlm flight /kat airport kita tak tau org sebelah2 kita tah baru fly dr mana2 ke..etc..
some airport buat saringan, some airport buat tak kisah je....maybe negara kita bleh dikatakan terkawal?
kadg dlm flight/sebelum fly di beri borang akuan kesihatan..tapi sampai airport takde sapa kutip pun??takde sapa yg tunggu pun?
so i guess..some airport take this thing seriously..and some not..
cuma nak tanya lah doc..
adakah pakai mask itu emmbantu sebenarnya?
