When Broden arrived at the hospital, he was critially ill. He had poor color, a temperature of 106.8, and was listless. His heart rate was elevated and blood pressure was low. The team determined he was in decompensated shock and decided to start rapid fluid administartion to save the patient's life. The team used a LifeFlow and noted that, "with each fluid bolus you could see his heart rate coming down." Broden went from unresponsive, back to his normal self in a matter of minutes.

Stargardt disease is an uncommon eye condition that damages the central vision much like macular degeneration. That makes reading and other activities that require sharp vision very difficult. Vision loss from Stargardt usually begins in childhood but in some people it first begins when they are adults. The condition is progressive, gradually causing increased vision loss. It does not result in total blindness. In this short video you can see and hear how low vision glasses, prismatics, help this young lady's reading. Addyson is a good reader but as Stargardt has developed her reading became difficult. In the video you can hear the improvement in her reading with her new prismatic glasses.

A short but important piece we documented for our friends at 410 Medical: LifeFlow, a medical device group saving lives with their product. "Incorporating storytelling into your narrative, whether as a writer, a leader, or simply as an individual, is about embracing the power of your own story and the stories around you." #whatsyourstory

Question: What is the leading cause of death in the United States? https://lnkd.in/gjZhwTSd A. Cancer B. Motor Vehicle Accidents C. Homicide D. Cardiovascular Disease Comment your answer below! Correct! Cardiovascular Disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. It accounts for nearly half of all deaths. CPR certification teaches you how to perform chest compressions and use an automated external defibrillator (AED), potentially doubling or tripling a victim's chance of survival. Since most cardiac arrests occur at home, learning CPR means you're more likely to save the life of someone you care about. Everyone can learn CPR, and being trained could be the difference between life and death in critical moments. #BeAHero #HeartHealth #CPRsavesLives Start training today! https://lnkd.in/gjZhwTSd

Methamphetamines and their Impact on LV Dysfunction with Greg Duck, PA-C, HF-Cert is a must attend session at CAPP National Conference! Don't miss this critical discussion on the cardiovascular effects! Register now at www.capplive.org!

This past weekend, on September 29th, marked World Heart Day—a day dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular disease (CVD) and promoting actions to combat it. The World Heart Federation reports that CVD is the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming over 20.5 million lives annually. The good news is that 80% of premature CVD deaths are preventable, often through lifestyle changes, exercise, and stress management. At Avive, we prioritize heart health and emergency preparedness. When it comes to CVD and Sudden Cardiac Arrest, proactive measures like heart screenings and regular health check-ups can make a significant difference in prevention.
