ANP Maritime General Service Respirator training

The General Service Respirator evolution (GSR) respiratory protection mask was successfully built, fitted, repaired, and tested by ANP Maritime in collaboration with 3M Scott Safety for the Royal Saudi Naval Force.

 The GSR is an advanced respirator employed by the UK Armed Forces as part of their respiratory protection system because it provides greater protection against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) hazards than other negative pressure respirators.

 "ANP is honoured to help the RSNF provide this important personal safety training session. ANP Maritime has successfully collaborated with our delivery partners to deliver a specialised DSAT-compliant course employing our ex-RN service teachers, adding significant value to the supply chain" Ray Thomson, director of maritime training, remarked.

 As part of a larger BAE Systems requirement, it is anticipated that the successful pilot course may result in more training packages from MCA-accredited training.

 Ethnographic study

We discovered other design factors in addition to respiratory protection through ethnographic studies. When wearing the mask, how much of their field of view is blocked? What degree of hearing do their commanding superiors have? Is the respirator restricting their movement or weighing them down? Can they maintain a high enough fluid intake to prevent dehydration? How will the GSR work with the vast array of current machinery?

 Wearer comfort

 The fastest, safest, and simplest filter replacements were among the design goals we set for the new General Service Respirator (GSR), which we achieved by giving Army, Air Force, and Naval troops the largest field of vision, even weight distribution, and most pleasant oronasal seal. High fluid-intake capacity, improved wearer comfort, and better speech transmission were built-in from the beginning.

 For individuals who would ultimately use the mask, it was critical to making sure that it was comfortable and wearable. In hazardous, life-threatening conditions, users would frequently need to wear this protective respiratory protection equipment for lengthy periods of time.

 Anthropometric design

To verify that the GSR performed just as well in the challenging field setting as it did in the laboratory, we used precise anthropometrics to develop an entirely new testing methodology. With a design that is more comfortable, user-friendly, and favoured by service people, the General Service Respirator continues to provide the finest protection available for our troops.

 Superior protection & comfort

Troops were provided with the highest levels of wearer comfort thanks to the development of an unrivalled suite of technology that included twin canisters, a single lens, a multiple-edge primary seal, low breathing resistance, an improved drinking system, an outstanding interface with Individual Protection Equipment (IPE), and a speech transmission system.

Uses of Defibrillator and the Help It Renders In Attending a Patient

-
Image
A defibrillator is a medical technique which is used to prevent ventricular fibrillation which is a common cause of cardiac arrest. The use of defibrillator is quite easy. However, due to the lack of knowledge many people use it in the wrong way. Here are the things you should check before using it. If you find someone having difficulty in breathing or choking due to the inability to breathe, calling the emergency number is the call of time. Other than that, you can start the CPR to keep a continuous supply of blood within the body. On the contrary, without CPR, the chance of death increases for the person. In case you're without anyone else, don't stop the CPR to go and get a defibrillator. In case it is not available, send another person to find the same for you. When you call 999, the administrator can let you know whether there's a community defibrillator close-by. When you open the equipment as provided by the defibri...

Why is antimalarial prophylaxis important?

-
Image
Every year, around 300–500 million people contract malaria and about 3 million die, most of which are children who are under five years. In sheer numbers, malaria kills 3,000 children per day under the age of five. The total number of deaths readily exceeds that from AIDS. After Tuberculosis, Malaria is easily the world's largest parasitic disease, killing more and more people every day. As we know, Malaria is one of the oldest pathogens which is posing a threat to the human population since the birth of the agriculture. Antimalarial prophylaxis Even being such a potent disease on the face of the earth, there is no post-disease vaccine available for protection against malaria despite the decades of research. Antimalarial prophylaxis is one of the newly surfaced modes of protection against the Malaria which offers an alternative approach that provides reliable protection against malaria. Antimalarial prophylaxis offers protection against clinical attacks of malaria especi...

Malaria - a rising global threat

-
Image
Despite its small size, the mosquito is the most dangerous animal to have caused maximum human deaths. According to the most recent estimates from World Health Organization, about 50% of the world’s population is at risk of Malaria. In the year 2015, 215 million cases of malaria registered of which resulted in 4,38,000 deaths. What is Malaria? Malaria is an infection caused in Red Blood cells (RBCs) by a parasite called Plasmodium.  Plasmodium falciparum is the most potent parasite reported to have cause Malaria. Other less known species that cause Malaria are Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium knowlesi. Once the parasites enter your body, they mature in the liver. These mature parasites later infect the RBCs.  Commonly known symptoms of Malaria are malaise,  vomiting, and fever with chills.  Unavailability of treatment can worsen the symptoms and cause anaemia, hypoglycemia and Cerebral Malaria (obstructs supply of bloo...
