Issues Involved with Resuscitation of People Who Have Passed

Meaning and significance of death in the light of the Christian narrative is addressed and shows a deep understanding, including a detailed description and many examples.

Most cultures value life and bringing persons back from the dead is a popular subject of many fictional books. However, as technology evolves and the story of Frankenstein reborn with a bolt of lighting has come true with the external or implanted defibrillators, the natural process of death slows as much of society gains the knowledge to live longer than nature intended. The Red Cross Association taught many organizations like the girl and boy scouts the methods of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR, a manual manipulation of the heart, as life saving methods for drowning, electrocution or heart attacks. First aid for laypersons to save lives as well as

Moreover, how to explain the fact that during the clinical death many people feel like the soul is leaving the body, and they may have a look at themselves from the another side, or see the dead relatives, or see the wonderful and pleasant light. Even though this process cannot be clearly explained by medicine, with Graves’ explanation of the soul whereabouts these visions are impossible.

Negative notions surrounding Physician aid-in-dying are the devaluation of life, the appearance of room for potential abuse, the demise of professional medical integrity and the possibility of improper diagnosis (Starks et al., 2013, p.1). PAD is often viewed as “diminishing the sanctity of life” and is thus unethical (Starks et al., 2013, p.1). It is also crucial to note the difference between “passively "letting [a patient] die" and actively "killing" (Starks et al., 2013, p.1). Murder is unethical from all standpoints. Furthermore, as unfortunate as it may be to admit, “assisted death may become a cost-containment strategy” for the health care system, pressuring families and patients to choose this means of treatment if he or she lacks access to quality care and support (Starks et al., 2013, p.1). Moreover, PAD contradicts the very oath physicians swear to practice medicine by: "I will not administer poison to anyone where asked," and I will "be of benefit, or at least do no harm" (Starks et al., 2013, p.1). Thus, many prominent medical groups such as the American Medical Association strongly disagree with PAD legislation (Starks et al., 2013, p.1). Furthermore, a presented diagnosis or prognosis can be incorrect because physicians do make mistakes. Approximately twelve million adults in the United States alone are misdiagnosed “in outpatient clinics every year” (Medical News Today, 2014, p.1). One

In the realm of modern medicine, which pervades the framework of North America’s health system, death is to be avoided and delayed at all costs (McGarry 2017). For all its mensurable successes in the treatment of illness, biomedicine is incapable of curing death; an axiom unsettling for the majority of Westerners (Text 2017: 254). Given such, accounts of death as unapologetically

Having families present during the resuscitation process has sparked much debate in the medical community because there are strong arguments for both sides. Health care providers tend to shy away from having families present for resuscitation because the process could be considered offensive, cause an increase of tension and pressure, and create distractions (Duran, Oman, Abel, Moziel, & Szymanski, 2007). Holzhauser, Finucane, and De Vries (2006) state family presences during resuscitation assists with coping after an unsuccessful event because they are able to witness the action taken by the team, provides an outlet for decision making, and fosters development of relationships between families and health care providers.

Children are curious by nature, often adventuring out to explore the world around them. Unfortunately, their curious nature can often lead to trouble, resulting in injuries. According to the Government of Canada, unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death in children. Learning how to recognize, prevent, and respond in the event of an accident or emergency can make all the difference. Read on for information on how to administer first aid in critical child and baby safety situations, such as cardiac arrest, concussions, dehydration, and choking.

Since its development in the early 1950s, CPR has become the cornerstone for cardiac arrest treatment. Incorporating a variating ratio of chest compressions and ventilations, CPR has consistently demonstrated an improvement of outcomes when promptly and precisely administered to cardiac arrest victims. The American Heart Association (A.H.A) provides constant guideline updates as more current, more advanced research is made available. The most recent A.H.A update was released in 2005. At that time A.H.A introduced a new change in compression-to-ventilation ratios, switching from 15:2 to 30:2. This was done with the intent of increasing oxygen perfusion to starved tissues in adult victims. (1st Source) Their have been other innovative ideas about improving CPR, of which

Trudy Harris has written another outstanding read to the follow-up of her first book Glimpses of Heaven. If you cherish the first book as much as I do you will not feel any different about the second. This book has a interesting new twist she reached out to other medical professionals voicing their stories along with her own. The prose is exemplary without a single flaw. Trudy writes about death in such a special way that it pulls at your emotions yet not negatively. Yes, it is sad that people are dying but, she portrays death in such a beautiful manner it is enlightening to the reader.

The phenomenon of death is a complex event wrought with controversy both medically and philosophically. Because the organ systems do not shut down all at once, the process of dying can vary from a few minutes to several months depending on the medical problem. Furthermore, it is difficult to determine the exact moment when a person is no longer a person. While the advancement of medical knowledge and technology significantly decreases errors in when to call a time of death; it has also, paradoxically, increased ethical problems between families and doctors. Since the limitations of modern treatments are not well known to the public, families sometimes continue to demand medical intervention against physician recommendations or patient wishes. Moreover, the laws and hospital policies provide guidelines, but cannot perfectly resolve medical disputes with all its complexities. To ensure that patient and family wishes are respected without completely overriding the medical decision-making process, hospitals need to expand the use and awareness of ethical committees to solve disputes before they end

s brain death really death? The human brain is arguably the most important organ inside the human body, containing a person’s personality, memories, and intelligence. When the brain is considered dead, there has been some traumatic accident causing the brain stem, or some other important part of the brain to be separated or severely damaged beyond repair. The three key findings in brain death are comas, absence of brainstem reflexes, and apnea. The human brain is divided into what doctors call the Lower Brain and the Upper Brain. The Lower Brain is where the top of the spinal cord goes up through our necks and into our brains that regulates body functions such as spontaneous breath, reflexes, our heartbeat, body temperature and sleep/wake cycles.The Upper Brain is behind all the "higher" functions in a person's nervous system. This gives us the ability to use our senses such as to see, taste, smell, hear and feel."Brain death" means both the upper and lower part of the brain are not functioning. That command center of the body that regulates the central nervous system is unable to perform.

End of life is an idea that is disregarded despite the fact that one day every human being will die. However, end of life issues need to be addressed. Dying is simply part of life and no amount of advanced medical treatment can keep someone alive forever. According to Brody, “most measures taken when patients are terminally ill, including the use of feeding tubes, ventilators and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, do nothing to prolong meaningful life” (Brody, 2009). I personally believe that patients who are virtual dead or in critical condition should not endure anymore physical pain. A critically ill patient deserves to die peacefully without the discomfort of machines keeping them alive. The medical world should not rely on medical technology

There are many ethical issues that the medical field faces daily. One major issue that is a common debate recently is death and dying and the ethical dilemmas associated with this stage in life. There are many different routes a patient can take when they are diagnosed with a terminal illness, two routes that are often up for debate are palliative care and physician assisted suicide. Many ethical concepts are brought up in the debate of these routes of care, sometimes even conflicting one another. Since medicine has advanced over many years we are experiencing a growing population of elders. With this increase in the elderly population, the debate of death and dying has become an important topic to
