The good Samaritans, full-time employees Chip Carter, Walter Robinson and Matt Burns and student-employee Brandon King, immediately administered CPR on Saylor, who had suffered a heart attack. And Alex Rosenzweig was the Visitors Center student worker who called 911. Saylor was taken to UK HealthCare Chandler Hospital where he is being treated and is now listed in good condition.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to thank the wonderful staff members of the Gatton Student Center who acted so quickly and skillfully to help me,\u201d Saylor said. \u201cWith Brandon King being a nursing major at UK, he certainly put his training to use. I am truly grateful to everyone who has been instrumental in saving my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe UK Police family is grateful for the quick actions of the student and staff members who provided first aid to Officer Alan Saylor,\u201d said UK Police Chief Joe Monroe. \u201cThose individuals, along with the quick response from the Lexington Fire Department and the team at UK HealthCare, did an excellent job in contributing to saving Alan\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baptist Health Lexington: First in KY to Receive ACC Cardiac Cath Lab Accreditation with PCI<\/strong><\/p>\n
Baptist Health Lexington has become the first hospital in Kentucky to be awarded Cardiac Cath Lab Accredita- tion with PCI by the American College of Cardiology. This accreditation is based on the demonstration of expertise and commitment in treating patients who come to the cardiac cath lab for care.<\/p>\n
Procedures within the cardiac cath lab consist of diagnostic catheterizations and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. PCI is also known as coronary angioplasty and is a non-surgical procedure that opens arteries that are narrow or have been blocked. They do this with a balloon that will relieve symptoms of heart disease or reduce heart damage during or after a heart attack.<\/p>\n
The hospitals that receive Cardiac Cath Lab Accreditation with PCI from the ACC meet or exceed a variety of criteria. They also have an organized team of doctors, nurses, clinicians, and other administrative staff that support the efforts leading to improve the outcomes of patients.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis accreditation demonstrates that our heart care team provides consistent, evidence-based, patient-centered care to all of our cardiac patients,\u201d said Susan Mobley, RN, BSN, MBA, NEBC, Vice President of Cardiovascular Services.<\/p>\n
The hospitals that have received this accreditation must take part in a multi- faceted clinical process. This involves completing a gap analysis, examining variances of care, developing an action plan, rigorous onsite review, and monitoring for sustained success. The improving methods and strategies for care of patients include streamlining processes, implementing guidelines and standards, and adopting the best practices in the care of Cath Lab patients.<\/p>\n

INFORMATION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\nFebruary is National Children\u2019s Dental Health Month! <\/strong>5 Tips to get Kids Comfortable with the Dentist<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nThere\u2019s no time like February to focus on your children\u2019s dental health.<\/p>\n
1. Tell them what to expect.<\/strong> Show them pictures of the dental office so they know what to expect. Get a complete rundown of the appointment. The more information you can give them about their upcoming visit will help alleviate the worry of visiting a dentist.<\/p>\n
2. Be honest and understanding.<\/strong> Don\u2019t lie about how things are treated at the dentist, but also use words and phrases that are non-threatening to the child. If they have fears, ask them what makes them scared and nervous. Listen to what they have to say and give them hon- est and clear answers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n3. Explain that the dentists are the \u201cgood guys.\u201d<\/strong> Explain to your child that they have to take care of their teeth and the dentist helps them do that. Just like other doctors, dentists help them grow big and strong.<\/p>\n
4. Make it positive.<\/strong> Use encouraging words like \u201cgoing to the dentist is a new adventure!\u201d or \u201cwe get to go to the dentist.\u201d<\/p>\n
5. Be there.<\/strong> Being physically present during your child\u2019s appointment can go a long way. If allowed, go into the exam room with them and be there throughout the appointment to show them that they are in a safe space.<\/p>\n
