Alpha-1 Antitrypsin DeficiencyA Real Patients PerspectivePresented by Len Geiger

• Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency acquired lung disease- It’s not a common form of COPD

• less than 10,000 in the U.S are currently diagnosed with Alpha 1

• Len inherited the gene

• A lung transplant would be Len's only hope of leading a life past his forties.

• He received a lung transplant after 3 years of being on the list

• This lecture, presented by Len, was the story of his battle with this devastating disease, his recovery and the friendship he formed with the parents of the little girl that made it possible for him to live when she no longer could

A 14-year-old girl named Korinne was the donor of the lungs that Len received. Her organs ended up saving the lives of 4 other people. Len carries a picture of Korinne with him at all times and communicates regularly with her family. He has a daughter named afterKorinne.

• Hypothermia is being used for cardiovascular and neurologic protection post cardiac arrest on patients with a return of spontaneous circulation

• Patient cooled to 33 C for 24 hrs.

• Kept on mechanical ventilation during induced hypothermia

• Re-warmed slowly over 8 hrs.

• Normal body temperature reached neurologic testing is done.

• Studies show positive outcomes when used

This was the first time that the students were invited to present at the

MSRC Conference. We were very proud of Brenda and Tami who took this on
