A heart attack is a life-or-death situation.
Time is of the essence.
That's why ETMC has equipped all
of our ambulances with technology
that transmits crystal-dear EKG data
directly to our Level I trauma center,
so that emergency physicians can
determine the severity of the tjeart
attack, paramedics can begin treatment,
and cardiologists can make preparations
for the patient's arrival
As a result, heart patients with severe
blockage can virtually bypass the
emergency room and go directly
to the ETMC cardiac catheterization lab
for intervention It’s a system that saves
20 minutes or more In the care of severe
heart attack-ond saving time saves lives.
-that
America
Under the charter, a state
will have the flexibility to
consolidate federal education
bility in this bill in an attempt
to return education decision-
making authority back to the
states—where it belongs. Our
plan is not radical.
Don't waste precious time If you
or someone you're with is experiencing
the signs of heart attack. Call 9-1-1
to bring advanced cardiac care directly
to your door.
