F.D.A. Approves Portable Drug Overdose Treatment

Summary:

            In these days, we see that many death cases that happened to the people around the world and that because of some lateness in helping these people. Thus, the world health organization, find out some of the solution that help these people to use some device that can use out side the hospitals. According to the article “F.D.A. Approves Portable Drug Overdose Treatment” by Sabrina Tavernise , says that last Thursday the Food and Drug Administration agreed to apply this device for the emergency cases. This device called Evzio and it work to delivers a single dose of the drug naloxone through a hand-held device to treat someone who has stopped breathing. However, there are may be some negative effects to us that may cause to death cases. Dr. Carl R. Sullivan III, director of the addictions program at West Virginia University says that this device is one of the big deal and he hopes to get the whole world attention. And this kind of drug is very effective to help the patients. With the increasing of death the F.D.A. recommended this device or drug to used only by the patients that do not have any other treatment they to use for their cases. Finally, with this device may decrease the numbers of death toll.  

Analyze:

             As we all now that the death cases is increasing ever day and I think that we need to look up for some solutions that help us. Also, one of the big advantages that all people around the world believe on is the technology. This technology has been growing everyday and almost ever day we face new device help us in our life. However, after reading this article makes me believe that in the future we will decrease the death cases in very low rate. The device Evzio will help the people very well out side the hospitals because this device works to make the patient in stable condition. Thus, I believe this device is very helpful but I think that will have some negative effects to the patient in some cases. For me I would like to do more tests to this device to make sure that is no negative effects to us throw this device.
