About the Book

Written by health care professionals and educators and reviewed by Medical Doctors, this guide provides clear, step by step instructions to help you take care of the sick at home during a flu outbreak or pandemic when health care is not available. The guide has a focus on community building and taking care of one another. It also emphasizes how to take care of the caregiver and how to stay healthy. Clear lists of supplies, detailed nursing skills, and information on food and supplies storage for longer-term emergencies are provided. Also available in Spanish, "Cuidado en Casa Para la Gripe Pandemica: Una Guia Detallada Para Cuidar Enfermos en Casa, Actualizada e Ilustrada" and through Kindle. ABOUT US: this guide was first written in response to the Bird Flu in 2008 by RN's, a social worker and health educators at the request of communities in rural areas who knew they would have no health care available. It was revised in 2013 in response to the MERS and SARS viruses. It is currently under revision again for Coronavirus COVID-19. Those involved in each rewrite change over time. We all have a commitment to making basic nursing skills and solid health care information available to the general public. We believe that working together and supporting one another is essential. Planning, preparation and skills are the best antidote for panic. Please visit our website: www.pandemichomecare.com for tips on how to take care. REVIEWS: This is the book I wish I had written, as I believe it should be THE starting point for individual as well as local, state and federal governments pandemic/bioterrorism preparedness planning efforts. For the past several years I have been trying to convince colleagues of the need for an evidence-based yet practical home/self-care book written in straight forward language that the average adult could use. Historical literature clearly points out that all other things being equal it was supportive nursing care that made the difference between those who survived and those who died. Should there be a 1918 like outbreak of an infectious disease spread via either respiratory droplets or pathogen aerosolization it is clear that the health care system will be overwhelmed and this book has the potential to make all the difference for those who use its valuable information."- William D. Stanhope, MS, PA, Adjunct Professor, Special Projects, Institute for BiosecuritySaint Louis UniversityPandemic Flu Health Care: A Detailed Guide for Caring for the Ill at Home, Updated and Illustrated is a practical guide for home-based care of persons ill with influenza in the event of a pandemic situation when usual places for obtaining health care services may be overwhelmed, otherwise unable to offer care, or actually be dangerous sources of additional exposure. In a pandemic, one must anticipate disruptions of usual support systems of the community: transportation, availability of fuel and energy supply, food supply, pharmacy, utilities, and water supplies.The book's focus on pandemic influenza is appropriate and timeless. The threat is real and, sooner or later, inevitable, with recurring threats of avian flu very much in the present. Home care in a pandemic situation may be the better alternative for care and even survival. This guide provides an overview and a blueprint with practical, step-by-step recommendations for preparation and how to provide care at home by persons without a health care background. Much of what it offers has direct applicability in a variety of other emergencies.- William Wiese, MD, MPHAssociate Director, RWJF Center for Health Policy The University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico
