Life-saving treatment hits London streets
Patients who suffer a cardiac arrest can now be treated by a pioneering life-saving machine on the streets of London before being taken to hospital.
Barts Health NHS Trust, in collaboration with the London's Air Ambulance charity and the London Ambulance Service, have introduced a new service that allows a life support machine to be taken by helicopter or rapid response car to patients across London providing vital care before they are taken to the Barts Heart Centre at St. Bartholomew's Hospital.
