Guillain-Barré syndrome or as known GBS, is a<span> condition when the immune system attacks the nerves sometimes resulting in paralysis or respiratory problems.</span>

Early rehabilitation process can make sure medical stability and an appropriate treatment for the patient and it also includes preventive measures to minimize long term complications. The recovery process for GBS varies from 6 months to 2 years during which fatigue is a major symptom. They are in an acute care environment during the acute phase of this disorder, so they will have to take it slowly. Also the client may need a ventilator until the paralysis goes away.<span>

GBS is a serious and life-threatening condition (10% of untreated patients, 3% of treated patients). It can quickly induce respiratory or hemodynamic failure and require constant monitoring and specialized rehabilitation to limit neuropathic pain and the onset of musculoskeletal contractions. The severity of the nadir involvement, the presence of respiratory failure, the rapid progression of symptoms (17 days) to hospitalization, and a high age are the main factors of poor prognosis.

The nurse must prepare the patient by giving him an immunomodulatory treatment, in addition to analgesic treatment in case of pain to relieve the patient during the acute phases.

The treatment uses an immunomodulator: immunoglobulin infusions (Ig i.v.) or plasma exchanges in case of impaired walking, breathing or threat to the airways. It must be started no later than two weeks after the onset of symptoms. In patients with back pain, paracetamol and NSAIDs should be used first-line, dexamethasone (3 x 3 mg / day) may also be useful. Opiates should be used with care.

After the acute phase, the patient usually needs specialized rehabilitation.

You can't really expect to find water stored as a gas, as it cools to a liquid at room temperature. You could easily find evaporated water on a stovetop by boiling water, though.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

I agree and disagree with his statement.

Explanation:

We all know that the blood type AB is the universal recipient, so we know that this bloodtype can recieve any kind of blood. AB-type blood doesn't fight off anything because it has all of the antibodies needed. We also know that type O is the universal donor, meaning that this blood can be donated to anyone. This bloodtype doesn't have antibodies, so nothing will go wrong. However, for the other bloodtypes, yes, things have to be matched carefully. Type B blood can't be given type A blood, and so on. Another thing you have to think about is the Rh factor, which is the +/- after blood types. Rh+ bloodtypes can recieve both Rh+ and Rh- bloodtypes, but Rh- bloodtypes can only recieve Rh- bloodtypes. There are also graphic tables that will help answer this question if you're a visual learner!

I hope this helps, sorry it was a bit late!
