Mesothelioma Information

Asbestos was heavily used in construction products for most of the last century. While asbestos has been banned for most uses since the 1980s, many of those buildings still contain asbestos. An event such as a fire can cause the microscopic fibers that make up asbestos to release into the air where they can be inhaled by firefighters or residents. Exposure to asbestos has proven to result in a wide range of health conditions, including mesothelioma, a deadly cancer that attacks the lining of the lungs, heart or abdomen. Asbestos dot com offers a one-stop resource on all asbestos and mesothelioma-related issues ranging from occupational exposure to mesothelioma treatment options

Mew monitors Save Family

Updated On: Sep 08, 2009 (18:09:00)

 

 A 29 year old lady and her family, had the good fortune of deciding to do her shopping at Overland Plaza recently. While there she experienced chest pain and shortness of breath and an ambulance was called. The Community Fire Protection District responded with an ambulance from the engine house in Overland. On arrival the crew placed her on the Life Pak 15 for an EKG and oxygen saturation reading. The monitor immediately alarmed showing an elevated met hemoglobin of 3% and a carbon monoxide reading of 37%. She was placed on high flow oxygen and transported to a hospital for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A call was placed to her residence and it was evacuated and the other family members were sent to medical treatment. An evaluation by the gas company found a faulty flu on the hot water heater.
