Lives Saved by MD1

A 76-year-old female suddenly collapsed in her room in cardiac arrest. Staff at her rehab facility and EMS started CPR immediately. An MD1 physician arrived and deployed our Transesophageal Echocardiogram equipment during the resuscitation, noting a large blood clot in her right ventricle. Her heart was restarted, a central venous line was inserted, and a temporary pace maker was installed to maintain her heart rate during transport. She would have died had it not been for the MD1 Physician’s evaluation and assistance.

A 57 year old male sustained a severe wound in his right arm and had lost a critical amount of blood. First responders applied a tourniquet to his upper arm to control the bleeding. An MD1 physician met the ambulance on the road to find the patient in shock, altered, and in distress. The man received a whole blood transfusion and other treatments on the way to the trauma center. He was later treated and released to his home and family.

A 44 year old firefighter suffered cardiac arrest. Paramedics shocked the firefighter’s heart ten times. An MD1 physician on the scene performed a recently developed double shock procedure, which saved his life. Today, this firefighter is back with his wife and children. He would have died without the presence of MD1.

A 17 year old boy was trapped in a car with a collapsed lung. An MD1 physician responded and placed a large tube in the boy’s chest, draining blood, until firefighters were able to remove him after one hour. This boy would have died without MD1 response.
