Cincinnati Sub-Zero Helps Save Lives with Therapeutic Hypothermia Solution
Three Ohio television stations report on the benefits of cardiac cooling and feature the contribution of Cincinnati Sub-Zero in helping to improve patient quality of life. Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) May 27, 2008 -- Cincinnati Sub-Zero (CSZ) Medical, a division of CSZ Products, Inc. and the leader in the design and development of advanced patient temperature management solutions, today announced its inclusion in a series of television news stories airing in the Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan area. The media stories aim to inform the general public and additional healthcare facilities about the benefits of a treatment known as therapeutic hypothermia. Clinical studies indicate induced managed hypothermia can reduce long-term neurological damage (i.e., protect brain function) post sudden cardiac arrest, in instances of severe cardiac surgery, after stroke, following a spine or head trauma, even in cases of neonatal asphyxia. Of those who survive sudden cardiac arrest, for example, therapeutic hypothermia can significantly improve -- by 20% or more -- neurological outcomes. In many cases, patients are able to return to a full life, where they might otherwise have been limited in functionality, even comatose. Doctors at Good Samaritan and Mercy Anderson Hospitals, as well as a recently treated patient at Mercy Anderson Hospital, were interviewed for the stories. The CSZ Whole Body Cooling Solution -- combining the CSZ Kool-Kit™ (comprised of the CSZ Head Wrap, Patient Vest, and Lower Body Blanket) with the CSZ Blanketrol® Hypo-Hyperthermia System -- was featured in the stories released by the Cincinnati, Ohio affiliates of CBS (WKRC-TV), NBC (WLWT-TV), and FOX (WXIX-TV). Responding to the coverage, CSZ Medical Vice President and General Manager Mark Beran said, "We are aware of the critical role our products play, every day, in helping to achieve improved patient outcomes. News stories such as these, occurring around the country, and the world, assist in increasing citizen and medical community awareness of the benefits of therapeutic hypothermia." CSZ President and CEO Steve Berke added, "We're proud of our local heritage and equally proud to see our work benefitting people in our community, right here, at home. These solutions make a big difference in people's lives and we are glad to be a part of that story any day." Online video of each story is available on the television station websites:
