balancing the patients' fluids and
electrolytes;
maintaining their oxygen status and
blood pressure; and
treating them for any complicating
infections.
In addition, the most effective way to stop
the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa is
meticulous work in finding Ebola cases,
isolating and caring for those patients, and
tracing contacts to stop the chains of
transmission. It means educating people
about safe burial practices and having
health care workers strictly follow infection
control in hospitals. This is how all previous
Ebola outbreaks have been stopped.
