• The Nation No 1 Killer of the Adult Population in the United States (600,000 yearly).

• The Plan here is to reduce this number in half (300,000 yearly). Plan is in effect and working!

BACKGROUND

Page 3: Heart safe campus   nemsf (2)

PLAN AND REASONING• The Strategy is to develop ER Chest Pain

Centers in Hospitals along with Early Heart Attack Care

• Why Chest Pain Centers in Hospital ERs? What is Early Heart Attack Care (EHAC)?

Page 4: Heart safe campus   nemsf (2)

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ?• There are over 1000 accredited Chest Pain

Centers in USA • And more than 650,000 EHAC Caregivers

ready to carry out Early Heart Attack Care.

DISCOVERY THAT HEART ATTACKS HAVE BEGINNINGS THAT CAN BE FOUND AND STOPPED (INTERCEPTED)

• Beginnings in more than 50% of the cases, but present problems not readily apparent.

• Patient does not look sick, will sit down and hope symptoms will go away,denial

• Bystander becomes more of an Enabler than a Caregiver• The EHAC Course is designed to overcome this denial

and ends in taking an Oath.

EHAC ADDED AS FIFTH LINK IN THE CHAIN OF SURVIVAL AND PUBLISHED IN JEMS IN 1998

STRATEGY OF EHAC CAREGIVER SIMILAR TO BYSTANDER INVOLVEMENT IN CARDIAC ARREST CASES

• Survival of cardiac arrest and Heart Attack Saves goes up with more participation

• EHAC being spread by accrediting more Chest Pain Centers as all the employees must take

• EHAC being added to HeartSafe Communities and HeartSafe College Campuses

SPREADING OF EHAC

Page 15: Heart safe campus   nemsf (2)

THE STRATEGY IS TO REACH ONE MILLION EHAC CAREGIVERS AND HAVE THE MESSAGE GO VIRAL,THAT … “ HEART ATTACKS HAVE BEGINNINGS” THAT IF IDENTIFIED AND ACTED UPON WILL SAVE COUNTLESS LIVES.

PLEDGE:I understand that heart attacks have beginnings that may include chest discomfort, shortness of breath and/ or arm pain, and weakness.

These may occur hours or weeks before the actual heart attack. I solemnly swear that if it happens to me or anyone I know, I will call 9-1-1 or activate our Emergency Medical Services.
