Fairview Southdale Hospital and Edina paramedics were the first to use time-saving digital heart rhythm transmission for emergency care. Edina paramedics have the ability to send a real-time digital picture of a patient’s heart (a 12 lead electrocardiogram) by cell phone to Fairview Southdale Hospital’s new Medtronic LIFENET®RS receiving station.
