Next today, we've heard from the nurse at hospital in Dallas Texsas, who apparently 3 copy Ebola virus from a patient she was treating. 23 years old Nina Pham says she was doing well and thanked everyone for their kind wishes and prayers, she also said she was blessed by the support by family and friends, and care of doctors and nurses at the hospital. Pham also received the blood transfusion 4 from an American Ebola survival, doctor Kent Brantly. It's possible that antibody from a survival's blood could help someone else with the disease. According to the WHO, about 9000 cases of Ebola have been reported, mostly in the west Afica. About half of those people have died. The WHO expected by Dec between 5000 and 10000 new cases will be reported every week in west Africa.
In the US, the CDC is preparing an emergency response team that it says can be any of American hospital within hours to help treating Ebola and prevent it from spreading. Doctor Sanjee explains how that happens to health care workers.
So when I give you an idea what CDC recommending in terms how to protect yourself this personal protective gear. I am also gonna show you to take it off which some say it's the most dangerous part. I will point out with start to do this, I work in a lab maybe a week. this is different, then what most doctors I think will use to at least in OR. I do wanna to point out that this is a little different than how I was suited up in ?? But we are following the CDC protocal. Now I wanna sure you how am I gonna to take this protective equipment off, I am also gonna put some chocolate sauce on my hand, which could represent a possible Ebola contamination. Take a look. This is a mask I got. So here is (what)will be the most likely contaminated area, will be my gloves and front of my gown a bit like this. OK now I get to treat this if I am potentially contaminated. I come out, what I am do to this particular gown, I rip it off all together, everything will come off simultaneously 5, but part of gloves sort of brash against my hand, my arm there likely potentially be an exposure. the glove didn't come off properly, I would reach underneath 6 here as best as I could and get underneath there, but perhaps if I didn't do it exactly right, there could be another potential exposure there. I am reaching behind now as best as I can, but let's see the side of my facial which is contaminated, I touched here, that's could be a potential exposure. Same thing here with the facial mask. So now take a look, right there, see the chocolate sauce, a possible exposure, and over here my neck, one possible exposure.
