system which unconsciously regulates body processes, including breathing, blood pressure and heart rate. it enables doctors to see at a glance the levels of pain or distress a patient may be involved sedated. intensive care department, _ involved sedated. intensive care department, right i involved sedated. intensive care department, right now involved sedated. intensive i care department, right now in this room we have i! covid—i9 patients. the systems are really easily applied. the pain monitor is two stickers. they are going to register the electrical activity of the heart. they are touched by this really simple cable to the monitor. it gives you mainly two numbers, one number that correlates with the immediate pain of the patient and a second number that is a medium of the different pain scores that the machine has recorded for the last three minutes —— median. it has helped us because it is really simple to interpret. you walk into the room and you exactly know if your patient is in pain or not and it makes it easier to

adjust the pain medication. because we are always in fear that our patients might suffer pain but we also need to realise that it's very important for them to not be overdosed on opioids. doctors sa ain overdosed on opioids. doctors say pain levels _ overdosed on opioids. doctors say pain levels would - overdosed on opioids. doctors| say pain levels would normally be measured by assessing a number of measurements separately, while the system in use here allows for greater detail. the challenge for doctors is finding the right balance between keeping a patient comfortable while still enabling the nervous system to help the body fight back against the effects of the virus. translation: is against the effects of the virus. translation: is the severe stages _ virus. translation: is the severe stages of _ virus. translation: is the severe stages of the - virus. translation: is the| severe stages of the disease went artificial respiration is needed it is necessarily paralysed the patient sometimes. the key is to anything ties the patient. this does not mean to switch their brain off to reduce brain activity and that is why this technology is so important, because it allows us to control the amount of sedation or analgesia, avoiding both overdosing and under dosing.

this system does not replace the role of drugs and other types of therapies available to treat the sickest of patients. rather, it is an additional tool in the arsenal available tool in the arsenal available to intensive care dock is as we continue to learn more about treating this illness. hello and welcome to the week intact. it was the week where facebook news, the social media giant's personalised new store, wanted in the uk following a us rollout last year ——in tech. german drone firm when copter said it will start livery coronavirus vaccines by air when pilots logic in south east asia and africa in the coming months —— wingcaptor and google stop work on its virtual painting application tilt brush, launched in 2016, it will live on as an open source project. for�*s electric scooter arm spin launched a new three

with the clear skies across the far north of england and scotland, there's a sharp frost. so, that sharp frost and clear skies in the morning across scotland and the far north of england. to the south of that, the cloudier weather, outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow. to the south coast, i think, here, it is going to be far too mild for any wintry weather. temperatures, for example, in plymouth will be around 10 degrees. but as the day wears on, some of that rain may turn to sleet and maybe some wet snow across other cities of the south away from the southern counties. now, through the night, saturday night into sunday, the skies will clear. so, with that wet day, it is going to turn icy early in the morning on sunday, as temperatures dip away to freezing or below across many parts of the uk, and another very cold night there in scotland. now, i mentioned two weather fronts, one on saturday. this is the next one paying us a visit on sunday. now, remember, it's a very

chilly morning on sunday, the weather front is coming in, it's subzero here, at least for a time, so some of this weather will be snowy. sleet and snow certainly across the welsh hills, but there is a possibility of some wintry weather spreading to other parts of the country as well, not in the north and the northeast. here, i think we're in for some sunshine. and it is going to be chilly wherever you are. but the chilly weather isn't going to last for very long, particularly in the south. i think by the time we get to monday, tuesday and wednesday, for example, in the south, temperatures will be back into double figures. bye— bye.
