The Miracle!

Gary Court Perrysburg resident who recently survived a cardiac arrest caused by a heart attack with no deficits. The article above briefly explains our new I.C.E protocol we are implementing. We are inducing hypothermia in patients after return of spontaneous circulation (producing a pulse after no pulse was present). Another vital piece of new equipment that is not mentioned in the article is the resQ pod. Many believe the resQ pod is responsible for the person regaining their pulse back. And we can not induce hypothermia until the pulse is returned. Read more about the resQ pod in the equipment blog.
