The herein schematic appears Asthma Exacerbation Management Algorithm Guide in Emergency Department and Hospital-Based Care.
This asthma management algorithm outlines components such Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1), Peak Expiratory Flow, The use of Short-Acting Beta2 Agonist, Oxygen saturation, Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI), Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) and more.
The following schematic shows the WHO Classification System for Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) Cases. All 3 types of poliovirus (Enterovirus types 1, 2, and 3) may cause the paralysis.
1. Adequate specimens means 2 specimens collected 24-48 hours apart and within 14 days of onset of paralysis.
2. The specimen arriving at the laboratory must be of adequate volume approximately 8-10 grams), have appropriate documentation (laboratory request form) and be in “good condition” (evidence that the reverse cold chain was maintained (presence of ice or temperature indicator), no leakage, no desiccation).
3. Compatible cases indicate surveillance failures and must be monitored for clustering in space and time. Read more »
