The ER team at Gadsden Regional Medical Center is better prepared for pediatric emergencies after recent hands- on training sessions from Children’s Hospital of Alabama. The Children’s Hospital’s COACHES Team utilized simulations for pediatric emergencies ranging from trauma to life-threatening medical issues to better prepare Gadsden Regional’s emergency room staff. “We focus on preparedness for all types of situations, and we were fortunate to have the team from Children’s Hospital of Alabama evaluate and give feedback on several of our team’s skills, including pediatric resuscitation,” said Michael Patterson, MS, RN, director of Emergency Services at Gadsden Regional Medical Center. The COACHES team uses realistic infant and child simulators that have a pulse, breath sounds with various patterns, heart sounds, and even simulate seizures. The manikins also allow for the administration of medications, advanced airway procedures, and medical interventions. “Having the opportunity to learn how to better serve our community through hands-on educational training is invaluable,” Patterson said. “We look forward to continued educational opportunities so that we ensure the team at Gadsden Regional Medical Center is here to meet the needs of our community, especially in cases of pediatric emergencies.” Gadsden Regional Enhances Pediatric Skills On Wednesday, November 8, 2023, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey issued a Drought Emergency Declaration – also referred to as a No Burn Order – that prohibits all outdoor burning in Alabama. The order was effective as of 8 a.m. on November 9. The statewide No Burn Order covers all parts of the state, including Alabama’s State Parks, state public hunting lands and Forever Wild Land Trust tracts. Gas cook stoves will still be allowed in all Alabama State Park campgrounds and appropriate day use areas. "We are taking this burn ban very seriously and encourage everyone who visits an Alabama State Park, public hunting area or Forever Wild tract to do so as well," said Chris Blankenship, ADCNR Commissioner. "Please follow the statewide No Burn Order and enjoy your outdoor recreation responsibly during these extremely dry conditions.” A statewide Fire Alert was issued on October 24. Since then, firefighters with the Alabama Forestry Commission have responded to more than 350 wildfires that have burned over 3,000 acres throughout the state. Alabama’s gun deer season opens for most of the state on Saturday, November 18. To lower the risk of accidentally starting a wildfire this hunting season, hunters are also encouraged to be mindful of fire prevention Hunters should Avoid parking in tall dry grass. Vehicle exhaust pipes can potentially ignite the grass. They should also be mindful of any sparks generated when discharging a firearm. Do not discard cigarette butts from a vehicle window or near any potential fire source. Additionally, when hauling a trailer avoid dragging chains. Sparks generated against the pavement can ignite grass along the roadway. If possible, state officials recommend carrying a fire extinguisher in your vehicle. For more information about current drought conditions and the state’s No Burn Order, contact the Alabama Forestry Commission at (334) 240-9300 or visit the website www.forestry.alabama.gov. No Burn Order Includes State Parks and Hunting Lands The U.S. Department of Commerce, through the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), will establish the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (USAISI) to lead the U.S. government’s efforts on AI safety and trust, particularly for evaluating the most advanced AI models. USAISI will support the responsibilities assigned to the Department of Commerce. Specifically, USAISI will facilitate the development of standards for safety, security, and testing of AI models, develop standards for authenticating AI-generated content, and provide testing environments for researchers to evaluate emerging AI risks and address known impacts. USAISI, led by NIST, will leverage outside expertise, including working with partners in academia, industry, government, and civil society to advance AI safety. In addition, USAISI will work with similar institutes in ally and partner nations, including with the UK’s AI Safety Institute, to align and coordinate work in this sphere. “Through the establishment of the U.S. AI Safety Institute, we at the Department of Commerce will build on NIST’s long history of developing standards to inform domestic and international technological progress for the common good,” said Secretary Gina Raimondo. Motorcyclist Hits Deer United States to Establish AI Safety Institute A single-vehicle crash at approximately 12:11 a.m. Sunday, October 29, and has claimed the life of a New Hope man.
