SANTA CLARA, CA – September 10, 2013 – CPRescue is pleased to announce its continuing training vendor relationship with ARAMARK at the Santa Clara Convention Center. On Tuesday, September 10th, CPRescue provided a Bloodborne Pathogen(BBP) training session for 85 ARAMARK employees. CPRescue has been providing Bloodborne Pathogen training for ARAMARK staff the past three (3) years. OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030 requires that training to be completed yearly.

Bloodborne Pathogens are pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but not limited to Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, West Niles Virus, Syphilis and Malaria. Coming into contact with these pathogens (like blood from a cut or open wound), creates the opportunity for transmission. CPRescue’s Bloodborne Pathogen training program teaches employees how to protect themselves when they have a reasonable chance of being exposed to bloodborne pathogens while performing their job duties.

ARAMARK is a leader in professional services, providing award-winning food services, facilities management, and uniform and career apparel to health care institutions, universities and school districts, stadiums and arenas, and businesses around the world.

In 2012, FORTUNE magazine again recognized ARAMARK on its list of “World’s Most Admired Companies.” ARAMARK has consistently ranked since 1998 as one of the top three most admired companies in its industry as evaluated by peers and analysts.

CPRescue looks to continue and expand its relationship with ARAMARK by offering and providing health and safety training services.

Established in 1997 in San Jose, CPRescue quickly became a leader as a CPR, first aid, AED and Bloodborne Pathogen training vendor for Corporations, Healthcare Providers (AHA BLS CPR), Hospitality Industry and for licensed Childcare Providers (EMSA approved). CPRescue has now expanded its service area to include the entire state of California. CPRescue provides onsite training classes, and is a Certified Small Business (Lic# 0030191).

Transient Ischemic Attack or TIA’s can be described as a mini-stroke. While a TIA does not necessarily cause serious damage to the brain, it is a serious “brain attack”. TIA’s look just like a regular stroke except that the symptoms disappear in less than 24 hours and many times the symptoms last less than an 1 hour. These mini-strokes take place when the blood flow to the brain is temporarily interrupted. Most TIA’s are due to a blood clot which either frees it’s self or dissolves before permanent brain death takes place. Left untreated the possibility of suffering a major stroke is increased by 80%.

Some of the symptoms to look for are:

• Numbness, tingling or heaviness.
• Unable to move arms, legs or face especially on one side of the body.
• Double vision, blurriness or unable to see out of one eye.
• Difficulty in speaking.
• Unsteady, dizzy or loss of balance.

Again these symptoms can last less than an hour and many times we dismiss these occurrences as to being tired, under stress or fatigued. If you experience any of these warning signs, see your physician immediately.

Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death right behind heart attacks and cancer. High blood pressure is the leading cause for strokes. To reduce your risk factors, control your blood pressure. Watch your cholesterol levels. Eat health, exercises and if you smoke, quit.

Know the warning signs and get medical care immediately. Time is a major factor whether it is a Transient Ischemic Attack or a full blown Stroke.

Is there a staph bacterium that is completely incurable? No, but a strain of staph emerged in hospitals that has shown resistance to broad-spectrum antibiotics. This strain could outwit all but the most powerful drugs. Many times if MRSA was not diagnosed early or treatment was delayed, the infection could become fatal. In fact, more people die from MRSA than from AIDS.

Staph is a common bacteria which about a third of the population carriers with no ill effects. Most of the time this bacteria is harmless, unless it enters the body through a cut or other wound. Even then it may only cause minor skin problems, but with older adults, young children and people with compromised immune systems, this infection can cause serious problems.

Be aware of the signs or symptoms. Many times MRSA will start out as a small pimple or boil, which can quickly turn into deep and painful abscesses. Immediately see a doctor for treatment. Ask to have any skin infections tested for MRSA before starting antibiotic therapy. Untreated staph could burrow deep into the body and infect bones, the bloodstream and even the heart muscle and lungs.

The best treatment for staph and MRSA strain is prevention. Do not share personnel items, such as towels, sheets, razors or linens. Keep all wounds covered with a sterile bandage until healed. Shower after all athletic events and wash your hands thoroughly several times a day. Careful hand washing is the best defense against all germs.

The next big thing in pain relievers may be snake venom. Researchers are suggesting that specific compounds in snake venom may actually be a potent painkiller.
The African Black Mamba is consider to be one of the world’s most deadliest snakes. It can grow up to 14 feet and has been known to have a very aggressive nature. Researchers have begun using the venom of this snake to create a new generation of painkillers that they are currently testing on mice.

This possible new group of pain relievers can be as effect as morphine, but without many of the side-effects you can get from taking morphine.
Researchers are happy with the results and are getting a better understanding about how our pain receptors work, which they hope will lead to even more natural compounds for the reduction or the elimination of pain for patients.

Can kissing your lover cause them serious harm? Believe it or not it can become a serious health issue.

Kissing has left some of us weak in the knees, but for this woman it almost cost her her life. In the heat of passion her lover began kissing and sucking on her neck. Commonly referred to as giving a “hickey”. The suction of his “love bit” caused bruising and physical trauma to her blood vessels. A small clot was formed and eventually ended up in her brain, causing her to have a minor stroke.

Having a blood clot develop and move to your brain from giving a hickey is rare, but oddly, injuries during the heat of passion are not all that rare. Strains, fractures, breaks and other injuries have occurred with the recipient delaying medical treatment due to embarrassment. Significant delays in receiving medical assistance can cause further or even permanent disabilities. Please seek immediate medical assistance for all injuries as soon as possible.
