More Hospitals are Preparing "Crash Carts" for Chiropractic Medical Emergencies.....

Davenport, IA - When a medical emergency occurs in a hospital, seconds can make the difference between life and death. Having the right medications and equipment readily available is key in optimizing patient outcomes. In an effort to expand their capability of responding to a wider variety of potential clinical scenarios, more hospitals are stocking crash carts with tools designed to address chiropractic emergencies.

"A crash cart is a self-contained, mobile unit that carries virtually all the materials, medications, and devices necessary to save the life of a patient who is experiencing a medical emergency in the hospital," Davenport Regional Medical Center Executive Director Fudge Harley explained. "Historically that meant a cardiopulmonary arrest, but that left a lot of patients with alternative emergencies at risk of delayed care."

Since April, crash carts at Davenport Regional have stocked adult and pediatric activators for use during chiropractic codes. An activator is a handheld spring-loaded device that allows a trained professional to apply a targeted application of force to an individual vertebral body, providing a low force adjustment that corrects a spinal misalignment without causing injury to any surrounding tissues. It's an advancement in chiropractic science that has translated into significant improvements in the stabilization of patients suffering from total collapse of the spine secondary to sudden-onset subluxation disorder, otherwise known as Accordion syndrome since first being described by chiropractor Robert Accordion in 1907.

"Most hospitals keep a defibrillator and a heart monitor with their crash carts," Frank Grimes, a chiropractor and emergency chiropractic technician in Belvidere, Nebraska, revealed. "Having an activator on hand when things go south can restore spinal integrity, restart the flow of nerve energy from the brain to every cell in the body, and restrict an acute subluxation from evolving into a chronic problem."

Since adding activators to their crash carts, there have been noticeable improvements at Davenport Regional. According to Harley, patients are safer and the staff is more confident. "Everyone is very satisfied, just impressively satisfied according to the latest mandatory survey. And we've gone 4 months without any deaths from when a patient's spine collapses down on itself and then their torso bobs up and down comically."

Dr. Grimes is currently offering a Restore, Restart, Restrict package for only $99. This includes a full spinal analysis using a spectral resonance matrix scanner designed near NASA as well as one week of adjustments. Call today!
