What is the difference between plain, flat CPR faceshields (http://rescuebreather.com/rescuebreathercomcgi/zstore/RBCstore.pl?user_action=detail&catalogno=RB-101);the "Microshield", a faceshield that thas a tubelike filter that is placed in the victim's mouth (http://www.cprmicroshield.com/microshield.html); and the other, shorter masks created by MDI?

What is the benefit to using one of the MDI Faceshields as opposed to using a flat faceshield? Which option is the better for Adult, Child, AND Infant CPR

A week ago I couldn't put my contacts in because it felt like there was something in my eye when I did. Day by day it got worse. I went to the doctor on my campus and she didn't know what was wrong but she prescribed antibiotic eyedrops. The next day (before I started putting eyedrops in) there was a hard white bump inside my upper eyelid. It doesn't hurt and it not tender. Once in awhile it feels like there's something inside. Yesterday I looked at it again and now there's a red scratch on it. I looked all over the internet and couldn't find anything. It doesn't hurt but my contacts are my only current prescription and I can't see the board in my classes. Can anybody help?

I went to bed at 11:15 w/some pain in my chest and back. Took 1 Advil & went back to sleep. Work up at 12:15 in a LOT of pain. I called my Dr, who has a after-hours nurse service, & was advised to go to the E.R.

During the ride, I was given oxygen, baby aspirin & a spray of oral nitroglycerin to ease my discomfort. It worked & I was feeling a lot better by the time I got to the E.R.

But within 1 hour, I felt like the room was spinning. I was sweating, anxious, & my face felt like it was tingling. It was a scary, doom like feeling I had, and it scared the hell out of me.

I was giving an EKG at the time. The nurse said my BP was 130/80. I had a chest x-ray (A- ok about that). Then I was given Ativan and some Benadryl.

EKG results said my heart was ok. For some reason, during the urinalysis, substances were seen that raised red flags (e.g painkillers).

Now, my right eye & the right side of my lips are swollen. Drshink I had an allergic reaction. I'm confused...help?

I have to cut up my food very small and make sure that I chew it thoroughly before I swallow. Three times in the last year, I've swallowed the food too soon and it's blocked my airway. I've managed to keep calm and force it out myself. The last one scared me, because I couldn't catch any breath at all.
Now, I'm finding it difficult to swallow when I'm drinking out of a bottle (small water bottles). When I tip my head back, my throats virtually shut. As for taking pills .. forget it! They jam before they're even in swallow position!
Has anyone any idea what causes this?
