BROOKLAWN NJ–(March 15, 2015)At approximately 5:12 PM, Brooklawn Police Officers were dispatched to the Metro Diner for a report of an unconscious female. The first arriving officer quickly determined that the female was unresponsive and was unable to detect a pulse. The officer radioed for additional support, an expedited response from Emergency Medical Services, and initiated cardio pulmonary resuscitation(CPR) efforts.

Brooklawn Police Officers were quickly assisted by officers from the Mount Ephraim Police Department after hearing the call for help. Shortly after CPR was initiated an automated external defibrillator was utilized, at which time a shock was given. CPR was continued until the arrival of Brooklawn Emergency Medical Services and Virtua Paramedics where the patient was turned over to their care with a strong pulse.

The patient was later transported to Our Lady of Lourdes hospital for further medical treatment.

The quick response by officers and their ability to work together
validated their training and saved the life of female. Furthermore this proved the effectiveness of CPR and early defiberlation. According to the American Heart Association effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival.

\”Patients randomized to new or more intensive blood sugar-lowering drugs or strategies to manage diabetes showed an overall 14 per cent increased risk for heart failure,\” says Dr. Jacob Udell, the study’s principal investigator, and cardiologist at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, University Health Network (UHN) and Women’s College Hospital (WCH). \”This increased risk was directly associated with the type of diabetes therapy that was chosen, with some drugs more likely to cause heart failure than others, compared with placebo or standard care,\” he says.

The results of the study were presented today at the American College of Cardiology’s 64th Annual Scientific Session and published in the current issue of The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology.

\”While some drugs showed an increased risk, other strategies tested, such as intensive weight loss to control blood sugar, showed a trend towards a lower risk for heart failure,\” says Dr. Michael Farkouh, senior author of the study and Chair, Peter Munk Centre of Excellence in Multinational Clinical Trials, where the study was conducted.
