Effectiveness of “Rescue Therapy” for Newborns Who Turn Blue – Pune Study

Editorial Staff

Doctors at the Surya Mother and Child Super Speciality Hospital in Pune have recently conducted a study elucidating the efficacy of a rescue therapy technique for treating newborns who turn blue with low oxygen levels. This life-threatening condition, known as Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN), occurs to approximately one in 500 newborns. Characterised by low oxygen levels, high pressure in the pulmonary arteries, breathing difficulties, and lethargy, PPHN can manifest within minutes after birth.

The rescue therapy the study explored was the utilization of a hormone called vasopressin. It works by increasing the blood pressure by constricting the blood vessels, and is approved for treating hypotension as well. The conductors studied 31 neonates to see the effects the hormone would have on them, the results of which were published in the American Journal of Perinatology. Their results showed that 29 out of 31 of these neonates responded favourably to the treatment, without any side effects.

Usually, PPHN is treated using high frequency ventilator and nitric oxide- both of which reduce the load on the heart and increase pulmonary blood flow. However, as Dr Sachin Shah, the director of Neonatal and Paediatric Intensive Care Services at Surya Hospitals in Pune elucidated, the use of vasopressin as a rescue therapy comes in handy in cases when the condition isn’t responsive to the standard treatments. While it is usually seen in newborns, it can occasionally occur in infants and young children as well due to genetic influences.

Overall, this study has provided conclusive evidence for the efficacy of the vasopressin rescue therapy in the treatment of PPHN in newborns, making it a viable treatment option in medical practice. It is thus necessary that healthcare providers observe for symptoms of PPHN in newborns and provide immediate medical attention as need be, in order to provide the highest quality of care.

Bengal Pharmacists Call for a Defined and Proactive Role in Primary Healthcare

The Pharmacists’ Association West Bengal (PAWB) has raised an appeal to the state health authorities to permit in-service pharmacists to provide primary healthcare during emergencies and time when medical officers are not available. This appeal comes in the light of the government’s proposal of a three-year-diploma course in medical science to overcome the pressing doctor provision crisis. The organisation opines that allowing pharmacists a more active role can aid in diminishing the gap between doctor-patient ratio and employ the services of more trained pharmacists. There are around 4,000 pharmacists already working in the health units of government hospitals. They can be the go-to persons during the absence of a doctor and can dispense medicines by providing consultation slips.

The PAWB suggests taking a leaf out of other Indian states like Kerala, Odisha and Assam who use pharmacists to provide primary healthcare services in certain conditions. Also, they have the experience and knowledge of first-aids and medicines which makes them a perfect candidate for the job. Thus, they request the same rights and roles for them as the other pharmacists and want the same to be declared officially.

The PAWB is a non-profit organisation managed by a team of leading professionals from the pharma industry in West Bengal. They aim to bring awareness about healthcare and policy changes within the pharma sector and work towards building a stronger team of pharmaceutical experts in the state and attribute to the betterment of the health scenarios in general. The organisation also works on inculcating the sense of understanding and responsibility among pharmacists as they sharpen their skills to become leaders in the health sector. Thus, it is encouraging to see the organisation making thoughtful efforts to better the healthcare facilities and help in providing for the medical needs of the citizens.

Managing Workplace Conflicts in a Healthy Manner

Conflict in the workplace is unavoidable, but managing it properly is key to improving productivity and creating a collaborative environment. To do this, it is essential to have effective dialogue and develop ‘conversational capacity’ so that all parties involved can express their points of view and reach an understanding in a safe and respectful manner.

One way to do this is to embrace ‘crucial conversations’, which involve fostering respect and actively listening to the other person. This will create an environment where conflicting opinions can be discussed without descending into emotional turmoil.

Another important factor is building conversational capacity, which is an individual’s ability to remain calm and think critically during intense conversations. This will help people in the workplace to communicate constructively, even during challenging situations, leading to better outcomes for all parties concerned.

With effective dialogue and conversational capacity, teams can create a more positive and productive environment. Research has shown that organisations that invest in conflict resolution and promote open dialogue have better employee engagement and job satisfaction.

A study by CPP Global, a leading provider of conflict management solutions, showed that 85 per cent of employees experienced conflict, and this resulted in decreased productivity for 29 per cent of them. Investing in conflict resolution training and dialog strategies can help organisations minimise the negative effects of conflict and nurture a healthy working environment.

CPP Global is a global leader in conflict management solutions that help individuals and organisations effectively manage conflicts and cultivate constructive dialogue. Founded in 1963 by world-renowned psychologist, Dr. Douglas Trumbull, CPP Global provides a wide range of conflict management solutions, such as consultations, workshops, and training to help organisations foster productive and positive working environments.

Dr. Trumbull is a renowned psychologist, author, and public speaker whose decades-long career in conflict resolution has earned him the title of the “Father of Conflict Resolution”. He is an advocate of open dialogue and has developed strategies to integrate workplaces and reduce stigma. He has written numerous books on conflict resolution, team dynamics, and the modern workplace.

A three-foot-long Monitor Lizard had to be rescued from a delivery truck at a CNG filling station in Runakta, Agra recently. The truck driver had spotted the reptile entering the hood of his vehicle, and immediately contacted the Wildlife SOS for assistance. A two-member rescue team quickly arrived with the necessary equipment and successfully extricated the reptile from its hiding spot under the truck.

The Monitor Lizard was identified as a Bengal Monitor Lizard, which is a species that can be found in the Indian subcontinent. They are listed as a endangered species in the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 and play an important role in the local ecosystem. Unfortunately, these creatures are often killed for their meat and body parts due to misconstrued beliefs.

After successfully rescuing the Monitor Lizard, the Wildlife SOS team moved on to aid an Indian wolf snake which was found coiled up atop a door frame in K.K Nagar, Sikandra.

Wildlife SOS is an India-based non-profit organisation and charity that works to protect and conserve wildlife. The Wild Life SOS helpline receives almost hundreds of calls every month, seeking help to rescue animals in distress, or report cases of animal cruelty. Over the years, Wildlife SOS has handled several challenging rescue operations, helping save lives of thousands of animals.

Kartick Satyanarayan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Wildlife SOS, and is a passionate wildlife conservationist. He has been actively working in the wildlife sector for over 20 years, and was recently awarded the Nehru Award for Talent in the field of Wildlife Conservation by India’s Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change.

Baijuraj M.V, the Director of Conservation Projects at Wildlife SOS, spoke about the rescue operation. He noted that reptiles are particularly active during the summer months and are often found in residencies. He explained the importance of rescuing the Monitor Lizard and thanked the people of the community for supporting their cause.

So, the next time you see a reptile in distress, don’t forget to contact the Wildlife SOS helpline number to give these animals the help they need.
