The Boeing 747
First twin-aisle long range jet airliner produced
Partial double deck configuration
1502 produced since 1970
747-8 variant can carry 467 passengers
The original Jumbo Jet
Worried if one of those crashed?
How about if 6 of them crashed killing everyone on board?
How about if it happens everyday?
Cause for concern???
Two of the diseases I am going to be talking about today claims the same
number of lives in the US everyday.
Yet, very little research is done on these diseases. Why?

everyone on board each day of the

Public Health Burden of Cardiac Arrest
Slide: Courtesy of Dr. Mary Ann Peberdy
Cardiac Arrest: Description & Statistics
Post Cardiac Arrest Syndrome
Unique pathophysiologic process involving multiple organs
Whole body ischemia (loss of blood flow)
Global tissue and organ injury
Reperfusion injury (return of blood flow)
On-going inflammation and injury
Key components
Post arrest brain injury
Post arrest myocardial dysfunction
Systemic ischemia / reperfusion response
Sepsis: Disease Description & Statistics
Sepsis– The presence only of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) defined as:
fever: >38ºC (any route) or hypothermia: <36ºC (core temp only), tachycardia: heart rate >
90 beats/min or receiving medications that slow heart rate or paced rhythm, leukocytosis:
>12,000 WBC/µL or leukopenia: <4,000 WBC/µL plus suspected or proven infection.
The number of deaths from sepsis per
year equates to approximately two
747s crashing everyday in the US.
