Garden City Launches ‘Same Day’ a 12-lead ECG STEMI Management Program
Garden City Hospital in Michigan launched their 12-lead ECG STEMI Management Program the “same day” their General Devices CAREpoint and Rosetta Lts were installed. R. Lee Heath unpacked, installed and inserviced the systems by early afternoon and just a few hours later the first actual ‘live’ patient 12-lead ECG was successfully sent by Garden City Fire Department from the field to the emergency department.
The photos above show Dr. Brian Kim, watched by Dr. Roger Lewis, as the first 12-lead ECG transmission was in process, being received ‘live’ on their CAREpoint workstation. The photos also show Garden City paramedic Gary Gallow displaying the Rosetta Lt and Nextel cellphone used to perform the transmission using their LIFEPAK 12 monitor defibrillator.
Program Director, Dr. Brian Kim said, “Having the CAREpoint/Rosetta system has been a wonderful instrument in communicating with our EMS providers for both STEMI recognition and other emergent conditions. The ease of use of the systems are their beauty.”
Emergency Department Director, Barbara Coldren stated, “I have to say I have never worked on a project that went so smoothly with installation. I want to personnally thank you for all the preparation on your part. It was seamless.”
