A lifesaving device has been trialled in Melbourne. Colin Fielder, Cardiac
Arrest Survivor, came back from the dead following a cardiac arrest in June
2012. Fieldler was clinically dead for 45 minutes. Fielder says a portable
heart / lung machine used in operating theatres kept his blood pumping while
the auto pulse gave him automated CPR. The two machine combo is only
available at the Alfred and requires three trained doctors to operate, but the
auto pulse is used all around the world and can be a lifesaver all on its own.
It functions as an extra paramedic ensuring CPR continues even when
rescuers are moving a patient behind the wheel. The survival rate for cardiac
arrest is 5%. The makers of auto pulse say their device can triple patients
chances. Clare Carney, Cardiac Arrest Survivor says she was swimming in a
swimming pool and paramedics arrived in 6 minutes and then 45 minutes
they performed CPR, then transported her to hospital on the auto pulse
board. Carney says that she had no warning.
