Channel 9 Darwin (Darwin) National Nine News - 13/05/2013 6:18 PM Jonathan Uptin Australian cardiac specialists claim they've found the key to reviving heart attack patients who have been clinically dead for as long as an hour. In the Ambulance, Colin Fiedler, heart attack victim, was given a choice of hospitals and he chose The Alfred. He didn't know, but it is the only hospital in Australia using an incredible CPR technique, the auto pulse machine which can work for up to an hour. Fiedler was dead for 40 minutes. Now doctors at the Alfred want the equipment supplied to every ambulance in Vic's fleet.

Geelong Advertiser, Geelong VIC 15 May 2013 General News, page 21 - 58.62 cm² Regional - circulation 22,491 (MTWTFS-) Copyright Agency Ltd (CAL) licensed copy ID 194089053 PAGE 1 of 1 back Hi-tech heart starter A MELBOURNE hospital is working on a new system that doubles the time doctors can keep a heart attack victim alive before brain damage occurs. The Alfred's hi-tech approach starts in a specially equipped ambulance and continues in the emergency room. It has helped three people fully recover so far. "It's very exciting," says project leader Professor Stephen Bernard. The Alfred's senior intensive-care physician says the system cools the brain and keeps the heart and lungs functioning to keep the patient alive and prevent brain damage. At present it is internationally accepted that you should give up if you cannot start the heart after half an hour. But Prof Bernard is delighted patients at The Alfred fully recovered after 40 to 60 minutes. "Instead of giving up you can put a patient on a heart-lung machine in the emergency department and prevent brain damage by cooling the brain at the same time," he says. He says the system gave doctors enough time to fix an artery in the most recent patient and restart his heart.
