Lifes GIFT E Two physicians groups help fund equipment for emergency personnel very 25 seconds, someone in America has a heart attack. Every minute, one of those Americans will die. Today there are treatments to help stop a heart attack and minimize damage to the heart muscle. But time is of the essence. If the blood supply is cut off from part of the heart, even for a few minutes, that section of the heart will die. Once heart cells die, they can’t be rejuvenated and, eventually, will be replaced by scar tissue. Cardiologists have been among the strongest voices in support of bringing open heart facilities to Gwinnett. Thanks to the physicians and the entire community, Gwinnett Medical Center’s Heart & Vascular Center is scheduled to open in early 2012. Two prominent Gwinnett cardiology practices have taken their commitment to this cause even further. Donations from physicians with Cardiovascular Group P.C. and Gwinnett Consultants in Cardiology have funded the LifeNet system for all Gwinnett County ambulances. SAVING VALUABLE TIME With LifeNet, EMS crews can now transmit highly detailed cardiovascular data to GMC’s emergency department, which can then be forwarded directly to the appropriate physician’s mobile device. Time is saved as the physician can access all the patient data, streamlining his or her response protocol. Hospital clinicians have detailed advance notice of a patient’s arrival and an unrivaled set of emergency data for managing the care. “The LifeNet system is a tremendous resource for GMC and the physicians who serve this community,” says Manfred Sandler, M.D., 52 Vim & Vigor · FALL 2 011 http://gmcf.aboutgiving.net http://gmcf.aboutgiving.net
