MEN MORE LIKELY THAN WOMEN TO NEED CPR AFTER SEX

-


According to an article written by The Times of London, Men are more likely than women to need CPR after sex. What!!!

They go on to state that:
Scientists have found that men are far more likely than women to suffer cardiac arrest during or after sex. They have also found that in only one in three cases does the overexerted amore (lover) receive what cardiologists term “bystander CPR,” but what everyone else would term “the very least a considerate lover could do”.

 Even so, we should not worry too much. Keeling over during congress is very rare. Of the almost 5,000 sudden cardiac arrests identified by the scientists, 34 were linked to sexual activity. That equated to 1 per cent of all male cases and 0.1 per cent of all female ones, they reported at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association.

Despite these odds, stories persist of men who died during sex. According to one account, Lord Palmerston met his end while entertaining a maid on a billiard table. Other statesmen rumored to have gone the same way include President Faure of France in 1899 and President Abacha of Nigeria in 1998.

Sumeet Chugh, associate director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, said: “These findings highlight the importance of continued efforts to educate the public on the importance of bystander CPR, irrespective of the circumstance.”
So, does this make a case of innocence for those ladies who found their partners dead after sex in Nigeria? Lot of stories are out there of men passing out after or during sex and the ladies running away for fear being arrested or they are being arrested eventually by the police. I believe most of you have heard. Only if those ladies had known the act of cardiopulmonaryresuscitation (CPR) and applied it, they won't have run away or get arrested. Their lack of first aid skills led to their unfortunate event.

 Like they always say, "ignorance of the law is no excuse".

CHILD SAFETY: OUR HOMES HAVE MORE POISONOUS SUBSTANCES THAN WE REALIZE

Source: Max Pixel I had a friend who told me how her last child mistakenly drank Dettol liquid. She immediately went into panic mode (as you would expect of a mother). She had to ensure her child drank some palm oil to neutralize any possible effect(African first aid,lol). But what is the best way to handle such unexpected events. You first have to understand that children knowledgeable enough to distinguish between what is actually healthy and harmful. They copy what adults do yet not knowing the reason we do them or where to draw the line when taking seemingly risky acts. Remember the scene in Home Alone 1, where Macaulay Culkin's character (Kelvin) used his father's shaving cream. He screamed because of the sensation he felt. He (Kelvin) didn't understand that the actual use of the shaving foam. He just wanted to behave like his dad. Without proper supervision, a  child can pick up any liquid and ingest it. What poisons are in our homes that can be harmful t...

Blood transfusion is usually required to save women with ruptured ectopic pregnancy from shock due to massive internal bleeding. Courtesy wikimedia commons. An ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy in which a fertilized egg also known as the  embryo , attaches itself into any other parts of the female genital tract or the abdomen other than the  endometrium  or the inner  lining of the  uterus. While they can be divided into various types, based on location of the ectopic pregnancy in the female genital tract, see  DEFINITION AND TYPES OF ECTOPIC PREGNANCIES ,  they can also be divided based on presentation at the hospital into ruptured, non ruptured and slow leaking ectopic pregnancies.  Most of the complications of ectopic pregnancies are seen following an unsuspected ruptured ectopic pregnancy.  A ruptured ectopic pregnancy refers to  an ectopic pregnancy that has outstretched its confining structures resulting i...

Source: Linda Ikeji's Blog Finally, I found the video of the girl who was videoed performing CPR (Obviously this was her first time performing CPR) on her brother who had collapsed. With her mom and possibly her mom’s friend guiding her on what to do over the phone on CPR procedure. This must have been one of the most terrifying and stressful assignment for her to perform. However,it was a life and death issue. Words cannot describe how she felt doing it or was able to perform this, but she did and saved the day,an avoidable death was prevented. #AFABulouSSister! She performed the hands only procedure, although she did not exactly get it done as recommended, but the outcome was good. Check CPR procedures on my blog. Be equipped with the skill and the kit! You never know when a loved one or a stranger would collapse in your presence, it could end up been a disaster if you don't know what to do. But undergoing a first aid training and practice with a professional ...
