HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1984-03-21, Page 111 Emp v More than half a million Canadians, suffer from emphysema, a lung disease character- ized by shortness of breath, Emphysema is a debilitating disease that 'makes activities most of us take fort granted a chore to perform. A person with empysema'strttggies for every breath and thelenergy needed'to perform even the Simple,. task of brushing teeth is often too great`for the patient. But researchers at the University o Toronto, . West Park and: Queen Elizabetl hospitals, have discovered a way to hell emphysema sufferers sleep more comfort. ably and reduce the risk of dangerous heart and brain problems by inhaling a low concentration of supplemental oxygen through tubes in their nose while they sleep. Although oxygen has long been used for emphysema patients whilesleeping at.night, doctors worried that oxygen administration might reduce a patient's drive to breathe. This is due to the fact that people with severe emphysema use their low blood oxygen level (hypoxemia) as their stimulus to breathe. By ministering oxygen to these patients, their blood oxygen level is increased and thus their stimulus to breathe may •be removed. Furthermore, there is another problem in administering oxygen to emphysema pa- tients. Dr. Roger Goldstein, principle researcher for the study said, "doctors have observed that high carbon dioxide levels develop in some patients with obstructive lungdisease and that this complication is known to occur in the acutely ill patient who already has chronic carbon dioxide retention." But, without the oxygen, an emphysema patient's oxygen level may sink too low during sleep, causing the heart to beat irregularly, increasing blood pressure in the Lungs and starving the brain of oxygen. The study, , which recruited patients from -the . University of Toronto's Respiratory Rehabilitation Unit at West Park Hospital in Toronto, -indicates that:'tfte carbon dioxide• levels inu the emphysema' patients who were given suEple'ntetttal oxygen at night did not rise significantly while they slept. Further- more, the sfudy'confirmed,thatin'adtainister- . isg supplemental oxygen?,to patients with no other sleeping problems there ts' little risk of reducing the patient's drive t breathe.' `A St. Pat's Da The auditorium at Huronview echoed the strains of old time music, as Marie Flynn and her company of musicians presented a program for the residents Monday after- noon.

T am not going to kid you by saying that they were perfect angels all of the time but 1 really did enjoy working with them. After they had all said good bye and left the arena, the room was cry quiet. While we enjoyed the peace and quiet and chance to put our feet ap and relax, we were still a little bit sorry to see the week over. The end of the week meant that school would be starting again on Monday. A few crafts, paint shirts and towels remained in the room surrounded by lunch bags and other valuables, but the program Was over. On the whole, I think the children enjoyed themselves. A couple or idem commented that it kept them from being bored during the week. One good aspect of the program was that it was something for the children of working mother's to do during the March break. The cost ofthe program was S20, This k the first year for Holiday Happenings and we are hoping that it will not be the last. After working with 14 kids for a week. i can understand much better why teachers look forward to their March Break. Kids really are great brit they take an awful lot out of you. 1 used to think that 1 wanted to be a teacher when i finished high school and after Holiday Happenings, believe it or not• 1 still want to be a teacher, Perhaps I will teach younger children, but there is a lot of pleasure to be had when you work with kids. Kids really are great. Sat., Mare 31 Is 'DAFFODIL DAY for the Canadian Cancer Society • Daffodils will be sold on Main St. From 9 a.m.-12 Noon MON,, TUES., WED. • 9 TO 6 P.M. - THURS., FRI.9 TO P.M.
