FAQs | Testimonials Testimonials Since deploying 104 of Cardiac Science's Powerheart® in its cardiology units last August, Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York — the third largest independent teaching hospital in the U.S. — has experienced a nearly 100% survival rate from its use on hospitalized patients who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. As a result of the compelling clinical results, Maimonides has since added another 36 devices. "The impact made at Maimonides by Powerheart technology has been dramatic and has facilitated a fundamental change in our approach to the treatment of cardiac arrest. The installation of the equipment and staff orientation to new protocols have been remarkably successful. Powerheart is attached routinely to our cardiac patients, allows for around-the-clock monitoring, and when necessary, provides immediate delivery of a defibrillation shock for patients who experience a life-threatening abnormal heart rhythm. The key to this new technology is the speed at which the life-saving therapy is provided, since it does not require intervention by a nurse or doctor. Since we no longer have to scramble to get to the patient's bedside it eliminates the possibility of the chaos that can ensue when a 'code-blue' alarm is sounded. The time from arrhythmia onset to successful defibrillation has been greatly reduced." Gerald Hollander, M.D. Director of Clinical Cardiology |
