As he recalls the last incident before he passed out is that he is sitting in the car with lights on and then he suddenly felt like he was knocked out for no reason. He didn’t even have the chance to call 911 to ask for help.

How the trial went through with Clemastine?

There was a prearranged test about an OTC drug that may possibly save the lives of the people, especially those who are suffering from multiple sclerosis or MS. This news draws a lot of feedbacks from the readers simply because the drug wasn’t named yet.

The tests for the over the counter drug for MS patients

There was a planned test of an OTC drug that can possibly save people from the disability of MS or multiple sclerosis sufferers. The post about the test got a lot of attention from the people, since the drug name wasn’t revealed then. 

There was this woman named Donna Arnett and she had stroke when she was only 27 years old, but because she worked as a nurse, she knew the signs and she was able to get help quickly. Few people are so fortunate, because stroke is the leading cause of death of around 130,000 people yearly in the

While a customer was shopping in a California’s Target store, he suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest. The premises didn’t have any emergency AED- automated external defibrillator.

How the Smartphone app works

The man did the noble act after being alerted on his phone that someone who was nearby required CPR. The grandmother of Baby Nolan had gone to a dance shop together with his older sister to take some ballet slippers when the baby suddenly stopped breathing. The clerk of the store who used to be a lifeguard started to administer some rescue breathing techniques to the baby after he called 911. This shows the importance of mastering the skills of offering a CPR for adults as well as for children.

The Spoken Fire Department people were hooked up to PulsePoint, a great app which uses the GPS of the people to alert people who are trained in performing CPR of cases of cardiac arrest to their emergency dispatch center. A nearby car mechanic, Jeff Olson, who is also a volunteer of EMT had downloaded this app and received the alert on his cell phone. Olson said that the alert he received on his phone was similar to an Amber Alert and as he checked it, he was alerted that CPR was needed and the address was shown.

Jeff rushed to the store quickly where he started performing chest compressions on the baby until the arrival of the first responders. Nolan thankfully managed to pull though and is currently recovering at a local hospital. The baby was born having adult sized kidneys and this might be what could have caused his cardiac distress. His family is currently undergoing training on CPR just in case something similar happens in the future. Brian Schaeffer, the assistant Fire Chief noted that the investment had his department had made in technology was the right step towards providing the community with the vital assistance required.
