Debates in New Mexico US healthproviders expand a now conductedin Spanish Ebola prevention programs Gov. officials embrace southern bilingual trend ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The moderator gave New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez the nod to start her opening statement. She smiled, then looked at the camera. "Welcome. And thank you very much for the opportunity to talk to the Hispanic people of my community," Martinez said in Spanish. It marked Martinez's entry in an emerging trend as Repub- licans and Democrats around the U.S. court Hispanic voters.

"The debate is more for sym- bolism," Barreto said. In recent years, other nota- ble Spanish debates included a 2010 event in California and a 2007 Democratic presidential forum. The KLUZ-TV Univision 3 Nuevo Mexico-sponsored forum for Martinez and King 1 offered few surprises. Both candidates just repeated pre- vious talking points, and the debate ran a mere 30 minutes. However, the debate did give Spanish-speaking voters a chance to hear the candidates' 6 views on a state law that allows immigrants in the country ille- gally to obtain driver's licenses. King said he was for it. Marti- nez said she was against it for 3 4 safety reasons. "It's not a problem of immi- 1 gration. It's a problem of secu- rity," Martinez said in Spanish. Barreto said in 2010 Marti- 6 nez took around 38 percent of the Latino vote in New Mexico at a time when most GOP can- didates garnered 20 percent nationwide. Across the nation, response teams put preemptive protocol in place NEW YORK (AP) - Public hospitals in New York City are so concerned about Ebola, they've secretly been sendingactors with mock symptoms into emergency rooms to test how well the triage staffs identify and isolate possible cases. A small Ohio hospitalhas hung up signs imploring patients to let nurses know immediately if they have traveled recently to West Africa. And across the U.S., one of the nation's largest ambulance com- panies has put together step-by- step instructions for wrapping the interior of a rig with plastic sheeting. There hasn't been a single con- firmed case of an Ebola infection happening on U.S. soil; the case confirmed in Dallas involves a man who, like several health care workers treated in the U.S., con- tracted the virus in Liberia. But health care providers are worried enough to take a wide variety of precautions. It isn't yet clear whether these preparations are overkill, or not nearlyenough. But health care experts say that at the very least, the scare is providing a chance to reinforce and test infection control proce- dures. "The attention has been, in a sad way, very helpful," said Dr. Richard Wenzel, an epidemiolo- gist at Virginia Commonwealth University and a former president of the International Society for Infectious Diseases. Even small hospitals far from international travel, hubs should be reviewing protocols and screening questions, and poten- tially buying protective equip- ment such as face masks and protective suits, he said. This will help them avoid repeating the mistakes of Dallas, where a Libe- rian man with Ebola symptoms was sent away despite telling a hospital staffer he had trav- eled from Africa, and potentially infected many others before he was readmitted two days later. "The debacle in Texas should stimulate improved awareness and responses," Wenzel said. A growing number of false alarms are already giving hos- pitals around the country ample opportunities to test infection control procedures. In New York, 24 patients screened for Ebola have been put into isolation over the past eight weeks in city-owned hospitals, accordingto Dr. Ross Wilson, the chief medical officer at the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation. None had the dis- ease (some had malaria and one had typhoid), but Wilson said iso- lating potential cases as quickly as possible is essential to keep the virus from spreading. "We're taking this very seri- ously," he said. Emergency room staffers have been confronted with actors to test their triage measures, and some have been retrained on how to properly put on and remove protective gear, Wilson said. At the city's flagship. Bellevue Hospital Center, technicians are assembling a lab to exclusively handle Ebola blood tests, keep- ing samples from contaminat- ing other equipment, and a small number of beds are ready and waiting in an isolation ward for any confirmed cases. New York City's 911 operators have been told to ask people who describe Ebola-like symptoms and ask for ambulances if they've traveled to West Africa recently. That question is also becoming thenormatAMR,whichoperates private ambulances in 40 states. It has told its staff of 19,000 paramedics and EMTs that if patients with these symptoms answer yes, they must alert other health authorities and put on extra protective gear, including shoe coverings, a mask and gog- gles. "We don't want to respond with apresumptionthateveryone in the field has Ebola" said Dr. Ed Racht, AMR's chief medical officer. "The idea is, if the travel question is positive with the symptoms,itgivesusayellowflag ... It doesn't mean immediately putting on the space suits." That said, the company has issued step-by-step instructions for using plastic sheeting, gar- bage bags and ducttapecto protect the ambulance and driver from patients with the virus. Step No. 2: "Place sheeting on the floor of the rig and affix to bench seat, jump seat and walls to create a bowl affectinanefforttochannel any body fluids toward the center of the floor causing fluids to col- lect inone area:' A more commonplace pre- caution is in place at the Mercer County Community Hospital in Coldwater, Ohio, a village of 4,400 people near the Indiana state border. Nicole Pleiman, an infection prevention and control nurse, said the hospital posted signs at entrances a month ago telling patients to notify the staff immediately if they've traveled recently to African countries hit by the outbreak. "We will definitely revisit that to see if we need to do anything additional," she said. And three major hospitals in Dallas have established isolation units and consulted with staff on handling anyone else with Ebola. With eight children sent home from school because they had direct contact with the lone con- firmed Ebola victim, Children's Memorial Hospital in northwest Dallas is preparing for pediat- ric Ebola patients, and doctors at Parkland Memorial Hospital and Baylor University 'Medical Center have identified teams of doctors and nurses to be ready. As has' become commonplace nationwide, the Dallas hospitals are screening incoming patients to see if they've traveled to West Africa within the last three weeks. #r ,f
