Editor's Notes
- One of our collaborators at UVA over winter break was speaking to her mom who said she had pressure and fluttering in chest, but didn’t think that matterws because thought no pain in left arm; but symptoms different for women and men differ slightly; for women chest discomfort is more common; mom of 6 kids, super active and engaged; Went to ED; had EKG which ended up being abnormal EKG; first stress test inconclusive so they kept ger for another; ended without heart attack but still kept her for two overnights– this is a great example of where is one that us just beginning and EHAC provides a clear positive impact. Simple stuff: people die every day because symptoms like chest pressure, discomfort, nausea etc without responding to their discomfort. One way we can make a difference when we meet people with these symptoms Is by getting them to take steps; The mom was super resistant but the EHAC program teaches ways to ways to overcome denial and resistance to medical attention:
- Gloria: 28 and she is an active school teacher, served in army, and one day she was having fluttering in chest, just like Mary Kate’s mom; went to see doctor and they discounted her. Went home but for 2 days it persitsted and kept getting worse; Finally paid attention; abnormal stress test Catheterization then coronary artery bypass at age 30: alive because in the end they finally listened to her; suffers massive scar and medical journey Other extreme where early heart attack care might baac been able to save her
- Safe to say that cardiac healthcare affects all of us.
- As college students and as many of you are EMS providers, we work hard to always be prepared whether its classes, tests, presentation, clubs, internships and then jobs. This isn’t just checking of a box and more than preparing for future ahead, this actually saves lives.
- We know a lot of people are involved in these “saving the world” organizations! EHAC is a quick and easy way to teach something locally--> that can impact the world and you wherever you are in the world
- Value in EHAC before severe damage. A few small things that could save not only the people in your direct community but truly the world at large Risk factors on college campuses are high: Stress, Binge drinking, smoking, lack of exercise;
- Important but still a tough sell; may be considered boring topic? Realize not that exciting: how we counter? Why tough sell– may be harder to engage people that aren’t in this room; so can both spice it up and tag to other Adding EHAC to existing initatives or meetings; Medically related like we’re doing at UVA 3-5 minutes max; Trained to give dynamically Pledge pin; Sales part? Making it pretty– quality selling
- Why UVA why EHAC– Super busy and overscheduled; vivacious and fast moving community; Heart attack symptoms can be boring; not super exciting until think of it UVA vibrant community and surrounding Charlottesville. Almost 16,000 undergrads and 6500 graduate students Challenges of getting overscheduled college students to listen; want to attach it to concept of cycle of citizen CPR and defribillator skills. to learn about ehac tagging it on to something What is Project Heartsafe: HEARTSafe is a public health initiative intended to help more people survive after sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Educate people on CPR and how to use defribrillator; “cardiac chain of survival” ; This is in response to sudden cardiac arrest. Wonderful paradox: more people understanding EHAC, should be lower numbers of cardiac arrest and thus “less business” for Heart Safe Reactive is EMS; but trying to be proactive
- Dr. Burt, my collaborator Mary Kate and I called David Hiltz a year ago to have a conversation on Heart Safe and then Dr. Bahr about how to incorporate them and bring to our community. The resources are available, it’s up to you to to spread the word– like pay it forward; you teach 5 people, they teach 5 etc.
- A lot you sitting here don’t need the material gain, but in order to really bring this to the larger community level, some beneficial and fun ways to get people and your local businesses aware and involved are to incentivize through small rewards Make them feel like theyre on the inside; in group via T-shirts, gel bracelets, etc, discounts at local establishments
- At UVA, Dr. Burt is the Director of the Chest Pain Center. EHAC mat also help with Chest Pain Center accreditation – idea is that by deputizing large number of the community it is supporting the CPC if documented; if already accredited, could help them with re-accredidation linked. Synergy with chest pain center; UVA is accredited; what we do as college EHAC counted towards re-accredidation
