Pandemic Response Protocol of a non-frontline specialty in a multispecialty tertiary health care centre—a pilot model in orthopaedics
International Orthopaedics, 2020Co-Authors: Girinivasan Chellamuthu, Sathish MuthuAbstract:Background 3,181,642 cases and 224,301 deaths in 212 regions of the world—this is the status of COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) pandemic as of May 1, 2020. This pandemic has managed to overwhelm the health care system of the most advanced countries in the world. As the whole of the medical fraternity stands robed as health care professionals to fight against COVID-19, specialty emergencies like trauma continue to pester the already overburdened health care community. This situation calls for the need for a p andemic re sponse p rotocol (PREP) in each specialty that helps the doctors to manage specialty emergencies without chaos and at the same time allowing them to play their part in pandemic management. Conclusion PREP as an integrated pragmatic approach is essential in containing pandemics as they need international cooperation at various levels starting from knowledge sharing to monetary support. PREP which is in line with the WHO action plan, will be an essential minimum Response of a non-frontline pandemic Response specialty like orthopedics to combat and curtail the effects of a pandemic in a multispecialty tertiary health care centre.

A Wave-Based Request-Response Protocol for Latency Minimization in WSNs
IEEE Internet of Things Journal, 2019Co-Authors: Riccardo Monica, Luca Davoli, Gianluigi FerrariAbstract:Transmission latency is a key performance metrics in most wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. Nodes in a WSN often keep their radio transceivers off, and turn them on periodically using a duty cycling mechanism. The latter is a major source of delay in the network, because transmissions must wait for the next receiver wake-up. In this paper, we present a cross-layer approach to minimize latency of a request-Response (RR) Protocol adopted in an IEEE 802.15.4-based WSN where the IPv6 routing Protocol for low-power and lossy networks (RPLs) is used. Extra wake-ups are generated dynamically to match the predicted arrival time of the Response packet, in order to reduce the duty cycling delay. The proposed approach is verified with the Cooja simulator, relying on the Contiki operating system (OS). The observed experimental results show a shorter RR delay with respect to a phase alignment (PA) approach.

Implementation of an emergency Response Protocol for overseas surgical outreach initiatives.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2013Co-Authors: Raj M. Vyas, Kyle R. Eberlin, Usama S. HamdanAbstract:BACKGROUND Many health organizations sponsor overseas surgical outreach initiatives, yet none has published a standardized Protocol to prevent and manage unforeseen emergencies. Surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and administrators-working together on a brief overseas humanitarian initiative-benefit from education and training to maximize their collective emergency responsiveness. This article outlines the emergency Response Protocol instituted by the Global Smile Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit global outreach organization providing comprehensive cleft care for the past 25 years. METHODS The Global Smile Foundation emergency Response Protocol was constructed to provide all team members resources and training needed to emulate the high emergency Response standards of developed nations. In this article, the authors share their education/training strategy, emergency "crash" cart inventory, site-specific safety checklist, and team member roles and responsibilities during various emergencies. RESULTS The authors' Protocol emphasizes equipment portability, location-specific adaptability, clear workflow/communication, and standardized team roles. On-site training is likewise portable, standardized, reproducible, efficient, and adaptive to each setting. These characteristics make the authors' Protocol widely adoptable. CONCLUSIONS Most morbidity and mortality during overseas surgical outreach initiatives result from unfamiliarity with the host hospital and other team members during operative (e.g., airway, bleeding, circulatory, anesthetic) or location-based (e.g., power outage, fire, oxygen shortage) emergencies. These complications are prevented and managed with aggressive team education and training. The Global Smile Foundation Protocol adapts to the uncertainties of providing medical care in underresourced settings and reflects experience accumulated over the past quarter century. It is the authors' hope that other humanitarian outreach groups will adopt, customize, and build on these basic tenets.

spatial and temporal analysis of killer whale orcinus orca strandings in the north pacific ocean and the benefits of a coordinated stranding Response Protocol
Marine Mammal Science, 2013Co-Authors: Michelle M Barbieri, John K. B. Ford, Bradley M Hanson, Stephen Raverty, Stephanie Vennwatson, Joseph K GaydosAbstract:Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are widely distributed throughout the world’s oceans, yet little has been documented about their stranding patterns. Knowledge of stranding patterns improves our ability to examine and sample carcasses and provides a foundation for understanding killer whale natural history, diet, reproduction, anthropogenic stressors, emerging diseases, and patterns of unusual mortality. We compiled published and unpublished killer whale stranding data to describe stranding patterns in the North Pacific Ocean. Between 1925 and 2011, 371 stranded killer whales were reported in Japan (20.4%), Russia (3.5%), Alaska (32.0%), British Columbia (27.4%), Washington (4.0%), Oregon (2.7%), California (5.1%), Mexico (3.8%), and Hawaii (0.8%). Strandings occurred at all times of year, but regionally specific seasonal differences were observed. Mortality and annual census data from Northern and Southern Resident populations were extrapolated to estimate that across the North Pacific, an average of 48 killer whales die annually. However, over the last two decades, an average of only 10 killer whale carcasses were recovered annually in this ocean, making each event a rare opportunity for study. Publication of a standardized killer whale necropsy Protocol and dedicated funding facilitated the number of complete postmortem necropsies performed on stranded killer whales from 1.6% to 32.2% annually.
