*PREVENTION IS VERY IMPORTANT IN PATIENT'S THAT ARE BED-BOUND

A DEEPT VEINT THROMBOSIS (DVT) IS A CLOT IN A DEEP VEIN, USUALLY IN THE LEG. OCCASIONALLY, IT CAN ORIGINATE IN THE ARM OR OTHER VEINS.

A PULMONARY EMBOLISM (PE) OCCURS WHEN A DVT BREAKS FREE FROM A VEIN WALL, AND TRAVELS TO THE LUNGS. MOST COMMONLY, CLOTS IN THE THIGHS ARE LIKELY TO CAUSE THIS. ]]> 2020-02-05 01:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440683203 garrettgideon https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440685867 AN INFORMATIONAL VIDEO ON WHAT A VTE IS, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS, AND RISK FACTORS]]> 2020-02-05 01:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440685867 garrettgideon https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440689402 PUBLISHED ON OCTOBER 15, 2019 BY: MEDGADGET EDITORS]]> 2020-02-05 01:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440689402 SUMMARY garrettgideon https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440690105 SKY MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, A U.K. FIRM HAS INVENTED A NEW TECHNOLOGY CALLED GEKO. THIS DEVICE HAS JUST BEEN CLEARED BY THE FDA, AND ITS PURPOSE IS TO SIMULATE THE CALF MUSCLES, IN TURN INCREASING BLOOD CIRCULATION, AND TO HELP PREVENT VTE. THIS DEVICE WILL SERVE THE SAME PURPOSE AS THE COMMONLY USED SCD (SEQUENTIAL COMPRESSION DEVICES), WHICH ARE INFLATABLE WRAPS PLACED AROUND A PERSON'S LEG. FURTHERMORE, IT IS DESIGNED TO 1) INCREASE BLOOD CIRCULATION 2) AID IN PREVENTION OF VENOUS THROMBOSIS 3) AID IN PREVENTION OF OEDEMA 4) PROMOTE THE HEALING OF TENDON AND LIGAMENT INJURIES. ]]> 2020-02-05 01:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440690105 garrettgideon https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440692273 AN INFORMATIONAL VIDEO DISCUSSING WHAT THE PRODUCT IS]]> 2020-02-05 01:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440692273 FRONT OF THE DEVICE garrettgideon https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440693145 2020-02-05 01:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440693145 BACK OF THE DEVICE garrettgideon https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440693247 2020-02-05 01:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440693247 DEVICE ON THE LEG garrettgideon https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440696306 2020-02-05 01:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440696306 garrettgideon https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440697535 A VIDEO SHOWING THE BLOOD FLOW WITH THE GEKO APPLIED]]> 2020-02-05 02:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440697535 PRO'S garrettgideon https://padlet.com/garrettgideon/xagjn8ns1vym/wish/440701941

IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A WELL-ROUNDED TEAM, I HAVE CHOSEN MEMBERS WITH STRENGTHS DIFFERENT THAN MY OWN.
    • ABRAHAM: ARANGER - WOULD BE AN ASSET TO THE TEAM BECAUSE OF HIS ABILITY TO TAKE INFORMATION THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH, AND SORT IT (EX: USING EXCEL TO CREATE A SPREADSHEET)
    • AMELIA: ADAPTABILITY - ADAPTABILITY IS A KEY TRAIT THAT IS NEEDED IN A TEAM. AMELIA WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP OUT IN MANY ROLES PROVIDING KNOWLEDGE AND FEEDBACK 
    • CHELSEA: COMMAND - EVEN THOUGH WORKING AS A TEAM REQUIRES INPUT FROM EVERYONE, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMEONE IN THE "LEADERSHIP" TYPE POSITION THAT CAN HELP KEEP EVERYONE ON TRACK, AS WELL AS DELEGATE
    • FERNANDO: FOCUS - FERNANDO'S STRENGTH WOULD BE VALUBALE TO THE TEAM BECAUSE HE WOULD BE ABLE TO POINT OUT THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS MORE ON, OR LESS ON TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS 
    • IZZIE: INPUT - INPUT IS NEEDED IN ORDER TO MAKE A TEAM SUCCESSFUL. IZZIE WOULD BE ABLE TO VOICE HER OPINION TO THE TEAM AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK, EVEN IF IT WAS NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THE OTHER TEAM MEMBER, THUS EVERYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO SEARCH FOR THE BEST SOLUTION
