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

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?

The side of my thumb where it meets nail is very sore and hurts extremely bad if I touch it against anything. I can see a very small spot of green. I have soaked my thumb in warm saltwater and put neosporin on it....Will this help or will I have to go to the doctor and have them remove it ultimately? (Ouch!)
