10-year-old Ryder is full of energy and life again since receiving his double lung transplant! After turning one, he caught multiple simultaneous infections which caused acute respiratory failure. His lungs continued to worsen to the point where he struggled to walk, even with oxygen assistance. Ryder waited 169 days for his gift of life and now that he has received it, he looks forward to playing basketball again once he is fully recovered! 🏀 Thank you to KDFW-TV FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth for sharing his incredible story of strength and bravery. Read more about Ryder’s story at the link below. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3LSEafm 📸 photos courtesy of the Molepske-Eoff family

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. For more information give me a call. 866 321-2030 https://lnkd.in/eZB6GUMi

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

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.

This is exactly why we’re driven to equip healthcare providers with innovative tools that allow for quicker, more precise diagnosis and management. By joining forces with organizations and individuals who share our vision, we’re pushing to make early detection and personalized treatment the new norm in sepsis care. A huge thanks to Sepsis Alliance for sharing Kelli’s powerful story and for your relentless dedication to sepsis awareness. Together, let’s change the future of sepsis care and save more lives. 💪 #SepsisAwareness #PatientAdvocacy #EarlyDetection #SepsisManagement #HealthcareInnovation #BiomarkersInAction #HealthcareRevolution #FightSepsisTogether
Thank you, Sepsis Survivor Kelli, for securing a Sepsis Awareness Month proclamation in the state of New Hampshire! Kelli survived post-surgical sepsis just nine months ago. She shares, “I didn’t know the signs, and by the time I went in it had turned into streptococcal toxic shock and I almost didn’t survive. I would have left behind my three young children and husband two days before Thanksgiving. I can help advocate the signs of sepsis, so no other family has to go through what mine went through.” To read more of Kelli’s story, visit https://lnkd.in/gzM-kHqC.
