Thanks to quick work by the response care team at Orlando Health Emergency Room \u2013 Osceola, a local patient was able to later reunite with that team that saved his life when he experienced a severe heart attack.<\/p>\n
C\u00e9sar D\u00edaz Lira, 58, went to the standalone ER location on Osceola Parkway with symptoms of chest pain and fatigue. An electrocardiogram was immediately performed and showed a ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) \u2013 a complete blockage of a coronary artery. The Emergency Room team stabilized D\u00edaz Lira as he was prepared for transfer by Air Care to Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have all the tools that any ER would have. We coordinate with our transfer center for transport to get to other sites within the Orlando Health system,\u201d said Brian Head, MD, medical director of Orlando Health Emergency Room \u2013 Osceola. \u201cWithin 30 minutes of Cesar arriving, the helicopter was on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Facility officials said the quick response and collaboration in this case enabled D\u00edaz Lira to eventually undergo an angioplasty that opened the blocked artery and restored blood flow in less than the industry standard of 90 minutes \u2013 the industry standard \u2013 from when he arrived at the emergency room.<\/p>\n
\u201cOrlando Health treated me like I was family,\u201d D\u00edaz Lira said during his return earlier this month to Orlando Health Emergency Room \u2013 Osceola, where he hugged team members and offered prayers of gratitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Body Thanks to quick work by the response care team at Orlando Health Emergency Room \u2013 Osceola, a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":165724,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[139,141,140],"class_list":["post-165723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
