RENO, FLIRTEY IPP SITE HOPES TO MAKE MEDICAL DEVICE DELIVERY MORE EFFICIENT

摘要

When sudden cardiac arrests happen, minutes count. There are almost 420,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the United States each year, according to the American Heart Association, and most of them are fatal. Delivering CPR and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) as soon as possible after an attack starts can more than double a victim's chance of survival, the AHA says; in fact, a victim's chances of survival decreases by 7 to 10 percent for each minute that passes without defibrillation.
