This presentation defines hazards, near misses, and accidents. It explains that a near miss is an undesired event that could have caused harm under different circumstances, while an accident actually causes injury or damage. Reporting and investigating near misses is important to identify causes and remove hazards before an accident occurs. Reducing near misses can predictably reduce accidents. The presentation encourages attendees to report any near misses to their company's health and safety department.
Near miss reporting is low, with less than 20% of incidents typically reported. Reasons for low reporting include fear of punishment, lack of follow up, and belief that near misses are normal. Improving near miss reporting can benefit safety by revealing unsafe conditions and helping prevent injuries. Actions to improve reporting include establishing a reporting system, investigating incidents and taking corrective actions, and ensuring no penalty for reporting. Senior management must also support near miss reporting for it to be successful.

Heat stroke occurs when the body's temperature regulation system fails and body temperature rises to dangerous levels. It represents a failure of the body's ability to maintain thermoregulatory homeostasis. Symptoms include headache, nausea, confusion and loss of consciousness. Treatment involves rapid cooling of the body, typically using evaporative cooling techniques, to lower the core temperature and prevent irreversible organ damage. Aggressive rehydration and treatment of complications such as seizures, arrhythmias or hypotension are also important for management. Rapid cooling is crucial to improving outcomes in heat stroke patients.
The document discusses heat-related illnesses, specifically heat stroke, which occurs when the body's core temperature exceeds 40属C, leading to central nervous system dysfunction. It highlights the classification of heat stroke into classic and exertional types, the populations at risk, clinical features, diagnosis, emergency management strategies including cooling methods, and potential complications. Prevention tips emphasize proper hydration, clothing choices, and cooling measures during physical activity in high temperatures.

Heat stroke occurs when the body is unable to regulate its temperature, leading to high core temperatures that can cause direct tissue damage and acute renal failure. There are two main types - classic heat stroke which occurs after prolonged heat exposure in vulnerable individuals like the elderly or chronically ill, and exertional heat stroke which occurs rapidly in unacclimated people exercising in hot environments. Symptoms include a core temperature over 40属C and changes in mental status. Treatment involves rapid cooling through ice application and cold water gastric lavage to reduce the core temperature to 39属C within 30 minutes, followed by monitoring for complications like rhabdomyolysis or organ damage.

Open PPT for detail description: Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)
Peptic ulcer disease refers to mucosal erosions equal to or greater than 5 mm in the stomach or proximal duodenum, caused primarily by an imbalance between gastric acid/pepsin secretion and mucosal defense mechanisms. The most common etiologies include Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic use of NSAIDs, and physiological stress.
Classification of Peptic Ulcers
Based on Location
Gastric Ulcers Occur in the stomach lining.
Duodenal Ulcers Occur in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
Based on Etiology
H. pyloriAssociated Ulcers
NSAID-Induced Ulcers
Stress-Related Mucosal Disease (SRMD)
ZollingerEllison Syndrome (gastrinoma-related)
Cushings Ulcer (due to intracranial injury)
Curlings Ulcer (seen in burn patients)
Pharmacological Management
1. Acid Suppression Therapy
Class Examples Mechanism
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) Omeprazole, Pantoprazole Irreversibly inhibit H+/K+ ATPase pump
H2-Receptor Antagonists Ranitidine, Famotidine Block histamine-mediated gastric acid secretion
2. Mucosal Protective Agents
Class Examples Mechanism
Prostaglandin Analogues Misoprostol Increases mucus & bicarbonate; decreases acid; protects mucosa
Mucosal Coating Agents Sucralfate Forms protective barrier over ulcer site
Bismuth Compounds Bismuth subsalicylate Antimicrobial, mucosal protective, and anti-inflammatory
3. Eradication Therapy (for H. pylori)
Combination of:
PPI + Two Antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin + clarithromycin OR metronidazole + tetracycline)
Duration: 714 days depending on local guidelines
See BNF regimens above for detailed protocols
4. Cytoprotective/Adjunctive Agents
Class Examples Role in PUD
Somatostatin Analogues Octreotide Used in bleeding ulcers; reduces splanchnic blood flow and gastric secretions
Antacids Magnesium hydroxide, Aluminium hydroxide Neutralize gastric acid; provide symptomatic relief
Non-Pharmacologic Measures
Avoid NSAIDs, smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods
Small, frequent meals in symptomatic patients
Stress reduction
Endoscopic therapy in case of bleeding or perforation
Surgical Indications (rarely needed)
Perforated ulcer
Gastric outlet obstruction
Refractory ulcers not responding to medical therapy
Severe bleeding unresponsive to endoscopic management
Summary
Peptic ulcer disease is primarily driven by H. pylori infection and NSAID use, with duodenal ulcers more common than gastric. Treatment is tailored based on etiology and includes acid suppression, H. pylori eradication, and mucosal protection. Advanced cases may require somatostatin analogues for hemorrhage control or surgery for complications. Prostaglandin analogues like misoprostol are especially valuable in preventing NSAID-induced ulcers.
