Two Orlando Health facilities, including Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, were instrumental in saving a man’s life after he came in with symptoms of a heart attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
C\u00e9sar A. D\u00edaz Lira first went to Orlando Health Emergency Room \u2014 Osceola with symptoms of chest pain and fatigue. The care team conducted an electrocardiogram immediately, and it showed a ST-elevated myocardial infarction, which is a complete blockage of a coronary artery.<\/p>\n
Once the Osceola team stabilized D\u00edaz Lira, Air Care prepared to transfer him 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 Healthy system,\u201d said Dr. Brian Head, medical director of Orlando Health Emergency Room \u2013 Osceola, in a news release. \u201cWithin 30 minutes of Cesar arriving, the helicopter was on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Within 90 minutes of arriving at the emergency, he underwent an angioplasty that opened the blocked artery and restored blood flow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Cesar\u2019s happy ending is what we all hope for \u2013 you come in, it\u2019s recognized early and we are able to intervene in the amount of time where no permanent damage or no life-changing damage is done to your heart,\u201d said Jazmine Wisecup, director of cardiovascular services at Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, in the release.<\/p>\n
D\u00edaz Lira reunited with the care team to thank them.<\/p>\n
“Orlando Health treated me like I was family,” he said in the release.<\/p>\n
