Congratulation to Professor Wanchun Tang
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of Weil Institute of Critical Care Medicine

This summer, Dr. Wanchun Tang was selected by the Society of Critical Care Medicine as the 2013 Asmund S. Laerdal Memorial Award recipient. The prestigious award is presented annually as a recognition for extensive involvement in critical care research and publishing. The name of the award is in honor of Asmund S. Laerdal who created model dummies to be used in CPR training procedures.

The 2013 SCCM Annual Critical Care Congress is taking place in Puerto Rico where Dr. Tang will present the Asmund S. Laerdal Memorial Lecture. The award will be presented to him during the American College of Critical Care Medicine Convocation/Society of Critical Care Medicine Awards Presentation.

Sunlifescience Inc. officially launched Smart Chest Compressor (SCC) , patented product from Weil Institute of Critical Care Medicine with realtime CPR quality feedback on compression depth and rate.

2010 AHA CPR & ECC Guidelines now include recommendations for monitoring CPR quality and detecting ROSC based on End Tidal CO2 (PETCO2) values.
* Sudden or rapid increase in ETCO2 indicative of likely ROSC
* ROSC via ETCO2 usually comes prior to "palpable pulse"
* ETCO2

***HELP IMPROVE OUR EMS SYSTEM***

"Increasing bystander CPR rates, increasing the awareness and use of devices to shock the heart, and keeping paramedics on scene until they restore a person's pulse needs to occur if we are ever going to change our dismal survival rate,"

Researchers evaluated data on 142,740 patients from 79 studies published internationally between January 1950 and August 2008.

Here's what researchers found:
•Of the more than 140,000 patients, only 23.8 percent survived to hospital admission, and 7.6 percent, or about one in 10 people, lived to be discharged from the hospital.
•Cardiac arrest victims who received CPR from a bystander or an emergency medical services provider, and those who had a shockable heart rhythm, referred to as ventricular fibrillation, were more likely to survive.
•The strongest predictor of survival was a return of spontaneous circulation, meaning a pulse was restored at the scene. Among them, 15.5 percent (in low-performing EMS systems) to 33.6 percent (in high performing EMS systems) survived.

SUMMARY OF 2010 AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION (AHA) GUIDELINES FOR CPR & ECC

BIG EMPHASIS ON EARLY HIGH QUALITY CPR INTEVENTION

First Study to demonstrate the increase in CPR compresssion fraction (CCF) - "The amount of time during a resuscitation in which CPR is performed" on return of spontaneous circulation for out of hospital cardiac arrest patients with not in ventricular fibrillation is associated with a trend towards increased likeiihood of ROSC.

Can 'Cough CPR' Save Your Life During a Heart Attack?

This one is serious...

Let's say it's 4:17 p.m. and you're driving home, (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job. Not only was the work load extraordinarily heavy, you also had a disagreement with your boss, and no matter how hard you tried he just wouldn't see your side of the situation. You're really upset and the more you think about it the more up tight you become.

All of a sudden you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest you home, unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.

What can you do? You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform it on yourself.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed in order.) Without help the person whose heart stops beating properly and who begins to feel Faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.

The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a phone and, between breaths, call for help.

Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!

Prof. Max Harry Weil
The founder of Weil Institute of Critical Care Medicine.
He was born in Switzerland and moved to US at the age of 10. He obtained his MD degree in New York in 1952 and a PhD degree from the University of Minnesota. After completing research fellowships at the University of Minnesota, National Heart Institute, and The Mayo Clinic, he moved to California and was named chief of cardiology at the City of Hope Medical Center in California.
In 1958 Prof. Weil met Prof. Shubin in USC Medical Center. The two cardiologists often wondered why so many patients died, often at night while recovering from a heart attack, shock or surgery. They discovered that without a way to check vital signs continuously, nurses often were not aware that their patients were deteriorating. Monitoring blood pressure, heart and respiratory rates and other vital signs continuously would provide earlier diagnosis and lifesaving interventions. This insight laid the foundation of the current critical care medicine specialty. In the early 1960s, the four-bed ‘shock ward’ of Dr Weil and Shubin at LA County/USC Medical Center was the first of its kind. It evolved within a decade into a 42-bed center1for the critically ill at USC, becoming a model for today’s intensive care, coronary care, trauma and post-operative care units.

Weil Institute of Critical Care Medicine -
is a non-profit medical research organization committed to critical care research with particular emphasis in resuscitation medicine. A designated research institute partner of American Heart Association, it is responsible for clinical experiment and evaluation of cardiopulmonary devices from all over the world.
