JAHI MCMATH: Medical "Guinea Pig" For New Sleep Apnea Device Minus Parental Consent?? (Research Funding For Hospitals)

JAHI MCMATH: MEDICAL "GUINEA PIG" FOR THE GOV'T & HOSPITAL MEDICAL RESEARCH FUNDS??


Was JAHI MCMATH being used by OAKLAND CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL as a Human "Guinea Pig" to test a new SLEEP APNEA Device for the Gov't without Parental Consent???

This new Device must be Surgically-Implanted near the Heart.

It's a well-known fact that Hospitals do receive FEDERAL FUNDS for Medical Research.

So JAHI MCMATH was selected as the perfect "Candidate" aka "Medical Guinea Pig" for this new Surgically-Implanted SLEEP APNEA Device.

However apparently something went terribly WRONG.

Since this is a new Medical Device, it may have been Implanted Incorrectly.

Or......

JAHI MCMATH may have Suffered Adverse Side Effects from the Implanted Device.

Of course my analysis is purely Hypothetical, but as it relates to Medical Research for BIG BUCK$$$, Hospitals have a history of such acts.

Perhaps this explains why OAKLAND CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL Officials were trying to Murder JAHI to hide/ cover-up EVIDENCE.

Thank GOD for Caring, PRAYING People who wanted to see her LIVE & Not Die.

Please continue to PRAY for JAHI.

A possible alternative for people who can't tolerate the traditional CPAP

A surgical implant to treat obstructive sleep apnea reduced major symptoms of the disorder by nearly 70%, according to a study published online Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The new device stimulates a nerve at the base of the tongue, opening the airway. It is one of several new technologies being developed for sleep apnea, a disorder in which people stop breathing during sleep.

Sleep apnea already has a very effective treatment, CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure.

But studies show that anywhere from 30% to more than one half of patients can't or won't use CPAP as directed by their doctors.

Some patients complain that CPAP machines, which deliver pressurized air through a face mask, are uncomfortable and unwieldy.

Sleep apnea, which is characterized by loud snoring and daytime sleepiness, is linked to a host of serious health problems, including an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke.

The new implants will "be for a subset of patients, not for all patients," says M. Safwan Badr, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and chief of the division of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, who was involved with the study.

Indeed, earlier studies with the implant showed that it didn't work as well in patients who were very obese or who had certain kinds of soft-palate collapse.

The current study excluded people with certain health conditions, a body mass index of more than 32 and particular types of airway collapse.

In the new study, 126 people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who had tried CPAP but couldn't tolerate it had the new device surgically implanted and were followed for 12 months.

The participants underwent overnight sleep studies before implantation and then again at two, six and 12 months.

After treatment, the number of times they stopped breathing, either completely or partially during sleep, was reduced by 68%, to nine times per hour, down from 29.3 times per hour.

Also, the number of times their blood-oxygen levels fell significantly, the so-called oxygen-saturation index, was reduced by 70% to 7.4 times per hour from 25.4 times per hour.

Two patients had to have a repeat procedure because of pain at the implantation site.

Other side effects included muscle soreness, temporary tongue weakness and tongue abrasions.

The study was funded by the device's manufacturer, Inspire Medical Systems Inc. of Maple Grove, Minn. Inspire's device is approved in Europe; the company is applying for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval.

"Some patients we encounter, despite our best efforts, we cannot get them comfortable with [CPAP] therapy," said Patrick J. Strollo, professor of medicine and clinical and translational science at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and lead author of the study.

The new implantable device "has the promise that we really have another option to treat patients."

About 18 million Americans have sleep apnea, according to the National Sleep Foundation, a nonprofit research and advocacy group.

The new device is placed under the skin of the chest.

One electrical lead extends up the neck and encircles the hypoglossal nerve, which runs beneath the base of the tongue.

The other lead extends to the middle of the chest, where a sensor detects breathing.

The patient turns the device on with a remote control when ready for bed and turns it off upon waking.

During sleep, the device electrically stimulates the hypoglossal nerve with each round of breath.

JAHI MCMATH Is Still Alive! GOD Performed A Miracle!! She Is Being Transferred!! (Please Keep PRAYING)

#JahiMcMath

BREAKING NEWS ABOUT JAHI MCMATH......GOD PERFORMED A MIRACLE TODAY!!

SHE IS STILL ALIVE!!.....A JUDGE GIVES HER FAMILY UNTIL JANUARY 7TH!!

A HOSPITAL IN NEW YORK WILL ACCEPT JAHI MCMATH FOR CONTINUED CARE.



JAHI WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REMOVED FROM LIFE SUPPORT TODAY AT 5:00 PM BUT HER FAMILY FILED AN APPEAL........PLEASE KEEP PRAYING.

ARTICLE: "Brain-Dead Teen To Remain On Life Support Pending Appeal By Family"

With an hour to spare, a judge ordered a stay on the restraining order against the hospital that was scheduled to take the 13-year-old girl rendered brain-dead by elective surgeries in California off life support Monday evening.

Jahi McMath is allowed to remain on life support until Jan. 7, a California judge ruled.

Jahi underwent a tonsillectomy and other operations to alleviate her sleep apnea on Dec. 9. She started bleeding profusely and went into cardiac arrest shortly after.

The young girl’s family has been in a legal battle with Children’s Hospital in Oakland since Doctors at the hospital declared her brain-dead three days later.

The family gained a restraining order preventing doctors from removing Jahi from a ventilator keeping her alive, but Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo revoked the order Tuesday after hearing testimony from an independent physician who also ruled Jahi met “all criteria for brain death," according to NBC Bay Area.

Grillo said Children’s Hospital would have allowance to remove Jahi from life support at 8 p.m. local time Monday (5 p.m. ET) unless the family filed a formal appeal.

The family filed an appeal just before 4 p.m. (7 p.m. ET) on Monday, according to NBC Bay Area.

Omari Sealey, left, uncle of 13-year-old Jahi McMath, and Sandra Chatman, grandmother of McMath speak to members of the media after a court hearing in Oakland, Calif., on Dec. 24.

"We are hopeful that one of these actions will forestall the hospitals rush to extinguish Jahi's chance at life," said Jahi's uncle, Omari Sealey.

Jahi’s parents have insisted that their daughter is alive, regardless of doctors’ opinions that Jahi’s condition is irreversible.

"I would probably need my child's heart to stop to show me that she was dead. Her heart was still beating, so there's still life there," Jahi's mother, Nailah Winfield said Friday, according to the Associated Press.



In efforts to keep Children’s Hospital from removing Jahi from the machine that was supporting her basic life functions, her family tried to move her to other facilities in California, but doctors at both facilities refused to treat someone who had been declared dead.

An unnamed hospital in New York agreed to take the teenager, but only after she underwent more medical procedures, according to the Associated Press.

David Durand, chief of pediatrics at Children's Hospital said administrators did “not believe that performing surgical procedures on the body of a deceased person is an appropriate medical practice.”

On Friday Winfield wrote on a fundraising page, “My family and I are still striving to find a location that will accept her in her current condition … Let us pray that some one (sic) will have the heart to accept her despite what Children's Hospital says. So that we can get her air lifted away from this place as soon as possible.” On Monday, donors had contributed over $25,000 to Jahi’s cause.

NBC Bay area reported that Sealey said that a hospital in New York had agreed to admit Jahi and on Monday, the family was organizing for an air ambulance to transfer the teen across the country.

"FAMILY MUST ARRANGE JAHI TRANSFER"

The hospital at the center of a battle over a brain-dead Oakland teen on Friday sent a letter to the girl's family, saying they can move the 13-year-old to another facility, if her relatives will arrange it.

Chris Dolan, the attorney for Jahi McMath’s family, said Friday afternoon Children’s Hospital Oakland has expressed to him that doctors will allow an outside physician to come to the hospital to perform the procedures necessary to safely transport Jahi to a long-term care facility.

Dolan said the family has been in talks with a facility in Southern California, where Jahi could be moved.

Jahi's uncle, Omari Sealey, also said the family is in talks with additional nursing homes -- another in Los Angeles and one in New York -- that may be willing to take her.

A San Francisco Bay Area nursing home that had agreed to provide long-term care for Jahi backed out after the Children's Hospital refused to insert the breathing and feeding tubes necessary for her long-term care.

The Alameda County Coroner's Office on Friday told NBC Bay Area that it will not block the transfer of Jahi to another facility.

Earlier in the day, the hospital said doctors planned to take Jahi off life support on Monday, barring a court order, according to Sam Singer, president of a San Francisco public relations firm hired by the hospital. Jahi's family is due in court Monday and has already said they will ask the judge for more time.

Children's Hospital Oakland Chief of Pediatrics Dr. David Durand indicated that until he knows which facility Jahi is going to, and whether it will accept a brain dead person, then the hospital can't do much to help.

The letter asks the family to give the name of the facility willing to take Jahi. It also says the family must identify a transportation plan, including the name of the company that will move the girl.

"Children's is willing to cooperate in this regard even though Judge (Evelio) Grillo has confirmed that Jahi is deceased and that statutory patient transfer procedures do not apply here," the letter says.

On Thursday, Children's Hospital doctors said they would not perform a tracheotomy or other surgeries, including one to give her a gastric tube for nutrition, on the 8th grader, who was declared legally dead by a judge just before Christmas.

"Children's Hospital Oakland does not believe that performing surgical procedures on the body of a deceased person is an appropriate medical practice," Durand stated earlier.

Friday's letter addressed to the family's attorney, Dolan, brings up this unique legal and medical matter.

"At a minimum, the Alameda County Coroner needs to consent to any proposed transfer since we are dealing with the body of a person who has been declared legally dead," the letter states.

Jahi went in for a tonsillectomy and two other tissue-removal procedures on Dec. 9 in an attempt to cure her sleep apnea. She suffered unknown complications about 30 minutes after the surgery, when she started coughing up blood and suffered a heart attack.

Jahi was first declared brain dead on Dec. 12, and her extended family and Dolan have been fighting in court and the media to keep her alive since then.

Before Children's Hospital sent the letter on Friday, Sealey told reporters that his family was "willing to fight" in court to move her to an unnamed long-term care facility in the Bay Area.

Sealey did not want to say where but added on Friday that there were "several" options open to the family. He also said Jahi's mother, Latasha "Nailah" Winkfield, had been "considering" moving her daughter even without the surgeries.

Jahi's family members are devout Christians who believe the girl is still alive because brain death is not true death and that if her heart is beating, even with the aid of a ventilator, there is still room for a miracle.

Winkfield has launched a fundraising effort to help pay to fly Jahi to a facility out of state. Details can be found on the "Keep Jahi McMath on Life Support" Facebook page.

The goal is to raise $20,000, and as of 8:00 p.m. Saturday, the family has raised over $5,000.

On the site, Winkfield wrote, “I am raising money for my daughter Jahi Mcmath so that she can be airlifted to a hospital out of state. Her insurance does not cover it and Children’s Hospital is going to remove her off life support if I can’t get her out of this hospital. “

Jahi's family reached out to Dr. Paul Byrne, a retired neonatologist in Ohio and the former president of the Catholic Medical Association, for help in this matter and formally asked him to speak on their behalf in court.

Byrne has not formally been called in to testify.

But in an exclusive on-air interview with NBC Bay Area on Friday, Byrne said he last talked to Dolan on Thursday and last talked to a family member "several days ago."
