CRITICAL CARE [33 records]

Record 1 2025-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pregnancy
  • Health Law
CONT

Abortion access is a critical component of comprehensive reproductive health care; it is vital for maintaining bodily autonomy as well as promoting individual and community health, safety, and well-being. In the United States, approximately [one in four] people with the capacity for pregnancy will seek first trimester abortion care by the age of 45. Both medication and procedural abortions are safe, with complications being rare. Despite this, 89% of US counties do not provide abortion care, and thousands of people face numerous barriers each to access the care they critically need. These barriers can take the form of restrictive state or federal laws, financial limitations, religious prohibitions within certain health systems, and widespread stigma associated with being an abortion provider.

CONT

Là où l'accès à l'avortement est limité, il est fréquent que l'interruption de grossesse ne puisse être pratiquée qu'au deuxième trimestre, ce qui en augmente les risques. On a tout lieu de croire que cela favorise également les avortements illégaux et dangereux. Il est prouvé qu'une législation très sévère peut être extrêmement préjudiciable aux adolescentes. À l'échelle mondiale, on observe une mortalité maternelle supérieure dans les pays où la législation de l'avortement est restrictive. [...] À ce sujet, la CIPD [Conférence internationale sur la population et le développement] a indiqué que les pays doivent veiller à ce que les programmes et les attitudes des prestataires de santé ne restreignent pas l'accès des adolescent(e)s aux services et aux informations dont ils/elles ont besoin [...]

DEF

A specialized paramedic who is qualified to provide a more complex level of emergency care than an advanced care paramedic and who is trained to accompany acute or seriously ill patients to another medical facility by ground or air ambulance when doctors or nurses at the hospital are not available to do so.

OBS

Generally, critical care paramedics do not respond to 911 emergency calls except when a helicopter is required at the site of an emergency. In addition to providing primary and advanced care, critical care paramedics are qualified to use medication infusion pumps, perform mechanical ventilation and use hemodynamic monitoring equipment.

OBS

critical care paramedic; CCP : designation and abbreviation used in the National Occupational Competency Profile(NOCP) for the paramedic profession in Canada. The critical care paramedic level only exists in a few provinces.

OBS

En général, les paramédicaux en soins critiques ne répondent pas aux appels d'urgence 911, sauf quand il faut un hélicoptère sur un lieu d'urgence. En plus de fournir les soins primaires et avancés, les paramédicaux en soins critiques sont habilités à se servir des pompes à perfusion pour l'administration de médicaments, à effectuer la ventilation mécanique et à utiliser les moniteurs pour la surveillance hémodynamique des patients.

OBS

Le niveau de paramédical - soins critiques n'existe que dans quelques provinces.

OBS

paramédic - soins critiques; paramédique - soins critiques : Bien que la désignation «paramédic - soins critiques» soit utilisée dans le Profil national des compétences professionnelles (PNCP) de la profession paramédicale au Canada, elle est déconseillée. Les formes masculine et féminine «paramédic» et «paramédique» sont un mauvais usage répandu sous l'influence de l'anglais «paramedic». Il s'agit d'une faute de nature morphologique : le radical «médic» n'existe pas en français.

Under normal circumstances, all patients should have an equal claim to receive the health care they need. Unfortunately, during a pandemic it will not be possible for all patients to receive intensive care due to finite resources. A triage protocol will assist in distributing the available resources fairly by triaging patients who will not benefit from treatment to noncritical care management, thereby conserving critical care resources for patients who are more likely to benefit.

The test for identification is the same as for defamatory meaning : would a sensible reader reasonably identify the plaintiff as the person defamed? Here also the standard of reasonableness is not high : the ordinary reader of a newspaper article... is not expected to read "with cautions and critical analytical care"; he may read "casually and not expecting a high degree of accuracy" and indulge "in a certain amount of loose thinking" and even "rather far-fetched inferences".
