In North America, one out of 5 trauma victims had one or more pre-existing medical conditions (PEMCs) which were more prevalent with advancing age. Moreover, these conditions adversely influenced treatment and recovery outcomes and as the numbers of PEMCs rose, the mortality increased. Furthermore, the effect of PEMCs on death was most marked in those patients who had a mild injury. Mortality doubled in the severely injured younger patients with the presence of a PEMC.
It is smarter to have a Code Amber Alertag and not need it, than to need it and have one.

Inconceivable?
More than 1,000 people visited emergency rooms in 2008 because they were distracted and accidently tripped, bumped or ran into something while talking or texting on their cellphone. That was twice the number from 2007, which had nearly doubled from 2006, according to a study conducted by Ohio State University (NYT).
There is a growing problem; DISTRACTION — A potentially injurious combination of a PERSON, with a MOBILE PHONE and an OBSTACLE like other people, the pole of a street sign, a toy left on the steps, a parked or even a moving vehicle.
“It’s the tip of the iceberg,” said Jack L. Nasar, a professor at Ohio State, noting that the number of mishaps will most likely increase as texting is rising sharply and devices like the iPhone have thousands of new, engaging applications.
However, certain iPhone and Android Apps reduce the likelihood that you will become an accident statistic. Check out GPS TRACKING. It will provide the precise location of one or all of those in your contact list and send a TXT MSG along with the location (LOCi) request – not only combining two tasks into one, but just in case you walk into an object larger than yourself, you’ll be able to alert friends or family of your location and the inconceivable happenstance.
We think it’s a good idea to anticipate the unexpected

IT’S INCONCEIVABLE, BUT ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN
AND THEY CAN HAPPEN TO THOSE YOU LOVE…
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) defines a “pre-existing” condition as “any medical condition that a person has before being enrolled in an insurance plan.” There are an infinite number of pre-existing conditions which may be aggravated as a result of an accident injury, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, pregnancy, diabetes, obesity and or depression.
Here’s what the
The physical responses seen in younger patients to “shock” incurred from an accident may not be seen in the older patients due to medications and preexisting conditions.
Pain, which can be manifested as delirium in older adults, should be optimally managed by balancing the need for relief and functional improvement with the potential for adverse events.
A complete medication history, including use of prescription and non-prescription medications (herbal supplements, etc.), should be obtained and assessed for possible adverse effects and interactions. Commonly prescribed medications in older adults (e.g., beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers) can mask or blunt the normal physiologic response to injury and stress or, in some cases (e.g., warfarin), may exacerbate an individual’s injuries.
Delirium is not uncommon, and it may be due to medications (including prescription and non-prescription), infections (e.g., pneumonia, urosepsis), or many other medical conditions, including: acute blood loss, electrolyte imbalance, end organ failure, hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, hypoxia, arrhythmias, neurological conditions, dehydration, severe pain, immobility, sleep deprivation, fecal impaction, or urinary retention. During initial assessment evaluation, patients with delirium should be assumed to have a reversible etiology until it is proven otherwise. Unrecognized dementia is a risk factor for post-operative delirium.
Decreased hearing and visual impairment are common in older adults. These conditions need to be evaluated as contributing factors in patients with altered consciousness or cognitive change.
Family members should be queried regarding existing advanced directives, and health professionals should assist family members in understanding how these directives relate to the specifics of medical care.
It is smarter to have a Code Amber Alertag and not need it, then to need it and have one.
