Mount Nittany Health is honored to recognize Jeffrey Elias, DO, FACEP, Emergency Medicine, and the Emergency Department team for providing exceptional stroke care to a patient at Mount Nittany Medical Center. Recently, Dr. Elias and team achieved a 21-minute “door to needle” time in administering thrombolytic treatment to a stroke patient. It is the second time a 21-minute “door to needle” has been achieved at Mount Nittany Medical Center. Administering thrombolytic treatment within such a short timeframe can significantly mitigate the long-term effects of a stroke, helping patients regain their quality of life and reducing the risk of permanent disability. According to the American Heart Association, the benchmark door-to-needle time is 60 minutes. Read more: https://ow.ly/hnW250QgNt1

Increased work of breathing doesn't just happen in respiratory failure. It arises in many non-lung related critical illnesses. While high flow therapy frequently is used to address increased work of breathing for primary lung issues such as COPD, RSV, COVID, etc., it is less frequently used for increased work of breathing for critical illness unrelated to the lungs. In a recent roundtable discussion, Emergency Medicine and Critical Care Medicine physicians discuss different non-lung pathologies in which they deploy high velocity therapy® to treat work of breathing early in the acute episode to buy them time to address the underlying condition. Below is an excerpt of the discussion from Dr. Ari Ciment, a Critical Care Medicine Physician at an academic medical center in Southern Florida, on his use of high velocity therapy to treat work of breathing for patients with anemia. #HighVelocityTherapy #WorkOfBreathing #RespiratoryCare

Did you know? In England and Wales alone, approximately 1.3 million individuals present to hospitals with chest pain annually. Remarkably, less than 15% receive a myocardial infarction diagnosis. This process strains ambulances and emergency departments. What if we could drastically shorten time to results, and do it all from the patient’s side? What if we could triage patients in the community and determine right there and then if they need to go to the emergency department at all? Point-of-care high-sensitivity troponin assays enable these rapid decisions. Patients reach necessary care faster, easing ambulance and emergency department burdens. Discover more insights from Dr. Rick Body, Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Manchester and Consultant in Emergency Medicine at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (see comments for link) #SiemensHealthineers #diagnostics #EmergencyMedicine

By 2030, we want to increase the rate of bystander CPR to >50%. This scientific statement identifies emergency cardiovascular care priorities and impact goals to directly improve cardiac arrest survival by 2030. http://spr.ly/6049rcSXD The American Heart Association 2030 goals are ambitious and aim to enable continued focus and efforts by scientists, providers, the lay public, policy makers, and other stakeholders to improve response, management, and outcomes for historically marginalized racial and ethnic minority populations and all individuals. An explicit focus of the AHA ECC 2030 priorities is alignment with our 2024 impact goal: “Every person deserves the opportunity for a full, healthy life.” As champions for health equity, by 2024, we will advance cardiovascular health for all, including identifying and removing barriers to health care access and quality. The AHA ECC 2030 impact goals directly align with these organizational goals, with a focus on health equity and ensuring cardiac arrest survival and access to care is equitable for all. The targeted goal rate of bystander CPR, AED use, and survival by sex, gender, and in racial/ethnic and other historically marginalized groups and communities with low socioeconomic status should at least be equal to that of the general population.

Congestive heart failure Does congestive heart failure limit your recovery? Our LTAC hospital can help. Here's why: Traditional hospitals are great for acute care, but for congestive heart failure (CHF), you might need more specialized long-term treatment. What is CHF? CHF is when the heart weakens and struggles to pump blood effectively. This can lead to shortness of breath, fatigue, and leg swelling. This is where our LTAC hospital comes in! We're designed to provide intensive care for CHF patients who need extended recovery time (usually 20-30 days). Our focus: - Stabilizing your condition: We have specialized staff and equipment to manage your CHF and co-existing conditions. - Rehabilitation: Through physical, occupational, and speech therapy, we aim to strengthen you and improve your daily activities. - Education: We'll empower you to manage your CHF at home with self-care techniques and medication management. If you or a loved one has CHF and needs a higher level of care than a traditional hospital can offer, ask your doctor about our LTAC facility. #LTACHospital #CongestiveHeartFailure #Recovery #CardiacCare #landmarkhospital
