- Liposuction Involves Few Surgical Risks
By: Christian Heftel | - Liposuction is proven to be one of the safest cosmetic surgeries practiced today. Modern liposuction, pioneered in the 1980's, is much safer than earlier techniques because there is minimal invasion or bleeding. There are also no extensive stitches or incisions that could become infected, and it is generally an outpatient procedure, so recovery does not require hospital admittance. Because of its great safety, liposuction is one of the fastest growing cosmetic operations available.

- Aed Pads - An Answer To Servere Cardiac Arrest
By: Heart Specialist | - What is a Heart Attack (CVD)?
The heart, made up of specialized muscle cells known as myocytes, is a mechanical pump that propels blood through the circulatory system, thereby ensuring the delivery of oxygen and other essential elements to the bodys vital organs. In order to perform this life-sustaining task, the heart itself requires a steady supply of oxygen, which it receives through the coronary arteries. An insufficient supply of blood and oxygen causes myoctye injury ...

- Save More Lives With Online Cpr / Aed Training!
By: American Safety Training Institute | - Some of the common causes of sudden death are electric shock, heart attacks, cardiac arrest, drowning, severe allergic reactions, drug overdose etc. After someone stops breathing, he or she can survive only for 4 to 6 minutes before lack of oxygen results in permanent damage such as brain damage or even death. CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) can buy that extra time by artificially circulating oxygen to the body, until professional help arrives.
CPR is a simple b ...

- Cardiac Arrest
By: cpr | - Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops circulating the blood throughout the body. Although cardiac arrest can be caused as a result of a heart attack, it differs in that a heart attack may prevent blood flow to certain parts of the body whereas a cardiac arrest prevents the delivery of blood to all parts. If oxygenated blood is denied to the brain, victims may stop breathing and lose consciousness. If left untreated for an average of 5 minutes, permanent brain damage can occur. Therefore, in ...

- What Causes A Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
By: Lawrence J. Reaves | - When your heart beats normally, it facilitates blood flow throughout your body. If, for some reason, the electrical impulse which controls the beat is interrupted, it cannot pump blood. As a result, your organs, brain, and tissues cannot receive the oxygen they need in order to function. This is known as a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
An SCA is different than a heart attack. It is a near-immediate failure of your body's systems. Because blood cannot reach your brain, everything sh ...
